Swedish is not a minority language. It is a second official language and it's taught to every student In Finland

My dude woke up and said "im gonna make shit up".
Finnish language is very closely related to Estonian and distant relative of Hungarian.
Contrary to popular belief but we didn't sprout out of ground nor did we arrive on spaceships. Our language originates from around Ural mountains in Russia. Same as Estonian and Hungarian and the other minority/tribe languages that belong in the Uralic languages which includes Sami you know the reindeer herders of Finland.

Thank you for using footage exclusively from Finland! Many videos about Finland insert also clips that have been filmed elsewhere.

Following on from meemmeem9170, there are several other incorrect statements in this video: 1) your pronunciation of archipelago. Ouch. 2) the national sport of Finland is not Ice Hockey, it is Pesäpallo. 3) Finland was not the first country in the world to give women the right to vote, but it was the first in Europe. Otherwise, thanks for posting a video on Finland.

2 things to know about Finland that may seem incompatible elsewhere, the right to be naked is a right protected by the Finnish constitution, it is forbidden in Finland to forbid being naked, but paradoxically the full Muslim Burqa veil is allowed, so you can meet people who are naked or in Burqa.
BBQs are part of Finnish culture, Finland is one of the BBQ countries, everyone can set up their BBQ in public parks all year round, there are even public BBQs and since last year libraries have been lending them.
The use of BBQs still has some rules, do not cut wood, do not damage the park, do not leave waste, do not sell.
