Hi, I am a foreigner living in Finland. Can you tell how the housing law works here in this case if the one partner (husband/wife) who is the 100% owner of the house died unfortunately, will the complete house ownership automatically be transferred to second partner (wife/husband) ?
If you have children and there is no will, the children will inherit everything. If you are married and have no children, then you probably will inherit everything. You want to read this article: amoslaki.fi/en/who-will-inherit-according-to-the-laws-of-finland/
One little side note I'd like to add to your point about visiting more than just Helsinki, don't just visit the big cities, Finland has some of the most beautiful nature in the world in my opinion!

React finnish band song "Hanoi Rocks - back to mystery city" live 1983 at marquee. Hanoi Rocks was finnish rock band which had huge impact to 80s and 90s rock music. Hanoi Rocks was the band that made 80s LA sunset strip glam scene. Hanoi Rocks went first time to LA 1984 and it changed LA. Unfortunately band didn´t perform in LA cause drummer Razzle died in car accident just day before the first gig. The driver was Mötley Crue singer Vince Neil. Musicians like Slash and Duff McKagan had tickets to that gig. Lots of bands took influence from the band like Guns N Roses, Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Alice in Chains, Poison, Red Hot Chili Peppers. Actualy GnR song Welcome to the jungle title has took form Hanoi´s song Underwater World. Band lead singer is very very respected by other rock musicians for example like guys from Aerosmith, GnR, Metallica, The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen and E Streetband, Dave Grohl, Motörhead. And guitarist Andy McCoy became the guitarist of Iggy Pop when Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones suggested him to Iggy.
as far as I know Finland had unlimited mobile internet data 15 years ago already, and some "developing" countries just implemented this recently. You had to buy GBs per month, how inconvenient is that. Finland rocks!
Hi...I subscribed to your channel a few months ago when I applied as an international student and now I have got admission in Masters in Centria University of applied sciences Kokkola. I will be there in September 2024.I am feeling some kind of fear of uncertainty, culture difference, extreme winter conditions and part time job opportunities. I really need some guidance in order to survive in a completely new environment.I shall be thankful if you can do something for me.thanks
man, don't be mad at me but you are very lucky to live in Teemu Selänne's country. let me tell you something, you are ignorant with this title. I am from Romania, a country where 200,000 children go to bed hungry, patients in hospitals for nervous diseases are kept tied to their beds, old people in nursing homes beg for food from the fences and others who eat their clothes from hunger, in villages there are families who sell their children to Westerners, people taken by force and turned into slaves to work for local mafias. students who die with ceilings collapsed on them, others die drowning in outdoor toilets are with rotten wood, in small towns there are parents who even sell their clothes on the streets so that their children don't stay hungry at home, I mean those who can't find work, pensioners who cry in the markets for the mercy of a piece of meat for a better soup, just today I bought 3 bananas from an old woman and I cried along with her because she wanted some meat instead of bananas. Obviously, I went back and with the last money I bought her 1.5 kg of chicken legs. many of these old people with small pensions stay in the cold in the winter because they don't have money to heat the house, then what the hell are you talking about. Finland is a civilized country and you should be proud of it. ps Canada-Finland is 2-2 after the first half and 22 min. go Finland
Does Finland grade the homework?? In America, a lot of the time, the work you bring home you have to bring back for a grade. 😭 Not doing it can bring your grade down a good chunk…cause usually it counted as like, 15% of our grade.
"Sininen" is a loanword which is a cognate of "cyan". AFAIK there are only 4 true cases in Finnish, the rest just replace the prepositions since Finnish is agglutinative.
I have just had the worst experience buying a home in Finland. We bought a home, offered asking price because the home checked all my boxes. Turns out the house had water damage that was not disclosed. The house stinks and has mold. This was not noticeable in winter, but come spring time and the snow melted, the walls were clearly wet. The seller was a company and the seller threatened to go bankrupt if we do not accept losing 10k euros for him to buy it back. Don't buy an old home here. Advice that is missing here is get a technical report before closing the deal and don't buy in the winter.
@@AleksiHimself yes a detached home. We had a Finnish acquaintance do an inspection and that was a mistake. We relied on him to get a pursue the technical inspection and his advice, was it was a fine house. He was wrong. People make mistakes. The inspection was off the record, the flaws that appeared in the spring were dormant in winter. We have a lawyer now and tons of expenses piling up, based on that we are not seeking justice, we just want to get rid of the house as soon as possible so we can go back to our regular broke life. YAY!
Wow . How come the ladies dont want a tight butt or massive chest , what about a great kisser or a guy who can bake bread? Well its to the back of the bus for me then.😢
To be honest despite of these facts Finland 🇫🇮🇫🇮 is still way better than living in the Philippines 3 things about Finland that I love: nature, cleanliness and well structured society 😊❤ which my home country is poor, hot and humid tropical ones.
I'm American, and these warning didn't deter me. I like that people just exist without the small talk, and the weather. The job market sounds like the biggest hurdle
My mother's side is Finn, my father's Italian. I lived with my Finnish grampa (love you gramps.) I would talk all day and he would pantomime interest. There were times he would get all excited about something and the mask would slip 😆 🤣 Finns in Finland are seemingly another extremely introverted country.
As my last comment on this topic (I've commented enough) is to say that what sets Finns apart from the Scandinavians, especially the Swedes and Norwegians, is our tendency not to be so politically correct in informal settings. We can engage in pretty rough humor, and we are not so risk-averse when discussing the potential impacts of mass immigration on a country, even though this is increasingly made taboo by our mass media. So, what sets us apart is that we're not so cautious and afraid to speak about subjects that can be completely taboo, for example, in Sweden. The downside of this, however, is that we can also see pretty open racism in our internet comments. But as long as people keep their heads on their shoulders, they understand that the racist comments represent but a small portion of people who are terminally online.
Again, YLE (Finnish Broadcasting Company) is wrong. There is this prevalent notion in Finland about the Second World War. We like to think that everything about Finland is defined by the Second World War, as we supposedly endured such trauma from the whole event. This is, of course, preposterous, as the whole of Europe has experienced wars that we can only have nightmares about. Russia also likes to attribute all its misbehaviors to war traumas. But no, we are not solely the product of WWII; we had it bad, as did many others. It's lazy for a Finn to claim that some or all of our "national peculiarities" stem from WWII; they don't, and many of our quirks aren't quirks at all, just common Northern European cultural traits.
Again, I have to disagree; it's not religion that we don't talk about, at least in my experience, it's money. I have never heard even the highest earners say what they make or how much they are worth. Seriously, I've had debates over religion with people about their beliefs and my non-beliefs. But money never gets discussed, even when it's apparent that the other person is very well off. And I think that's a very good thing.
Why do we sit alone, searching for seats that are not taken at all? I mean, why would you seat yourself beside a stranger if other seats are available? I'm really asking. This is not a Finnish trait at all; it's just common sense. However, I have no problem sitting next to someone if all the double seats are each already taken by one person. Like, why wouldn't I then sit next to someone? I don't get why this, which is a very common trait among people, has to be turned into a "Finnish quirk." I mean, if you go onto a bus, would you choose the seat next to someone if the whole bus is otherwise empty? Now, why would you do this if the bus has only 6 passengers? 16? 20? Why wouldn't you try to find a double seat that is completely unoccupied?
