It was really a pleasure meeting such a beautiful people Thankyou for introducing your lovely countries!❤ I’m so sorry that I was too clumsy at guessing the countries..😢
Me thinking that you are the most beautiful person in this video. This is an honest opinion from someone old enough to be your mum. SO yes, you are gorgeous. The Korean boy is a cutie too.
You guys did a terrific job, don't worry! I would probably not do a very good job at guessing what country someone is from by just listening to their dialects 😆
The nordic countries are like a big family. Iceland is a cousin we keep forgetting about. Denmark, Norway and Sweden are basically the same, but different. Finland is that weird kid that does their own thing. But it's all just love now that we've all grown up. As kids we fought like crazy. That's basically the short history of The Nordics. I just wonder how they would have placed me since I'm both Swedish and Finnish?
Couldnt they have introduced the asians to ACTUAL euro beauties? The pretties girls in europe are OUR SLAVIC GIRLS as we have also asiatic blood like Koreans Not these ugle scandinavians and anglos yuck There is a reason why all th emodels in europe are from Russia and Ukraine
If they had Denmark represented then the question about war would've taken a whole another route. Sweden and Denmark hold a record, the most wars between two countries, it is something like 30... The wars were mostly about southern Sweden and Norway. Finland was part of Sweden, so there has never been a war between them. Finland has not been in a war with anyone but Russia, and that has happened many, many times...
This is more forgotten, but before that time Norway and Denmark had several wars against eachother. Huge melee battles on fleets of ships tied together.
Finland was functionally at war with the allies on the side of Nazi Germany, but only because they couldn't let anything get in the way of their favourite pasttime, fighting the Russians.
Finland was not at war with allies. Britain is only allied country that declared war on Finland during WW2. Neither was Finland a part of axis powers during WW2 so allied war against axis had nothing to do with Finland.
@@Hoppfalleraaa This is true but outer appearances isn't everything, the inside also weighs heavily on whether someone is beautiful or not in my opinion. But if we are talking about sheer outer appearances then yes, I'd say they would be in the "average". But they were all beautiful in my opinion!

I swear, every time I see one of these videos, I'm floored by how good the Korean's English is. I guess I assumed they don't hear as much English in their media like we do in Europe, so they wouldn't get as much exposure. Really impressive!
@@gregorygant4242Yeah, but it’s so much harder for people speaking non Germanic and non Latin based languages to learn English. Especially Koreans which speak a completely different language family and use a different script. Scandinavian people (alongside the Dutch) probably have the easiest time learning English because the languages are extremely similar and there is also much more media exposure to English from the age of like 2-3 years old. Therefore it’s just as hard for Nordic people to learn Korean, as it is for Koreans to learn English.
@@gregorygant4242 I visited South Korea. Our taxi drivers did not speak English and it seemed like on average most people don't speak English over there. I might be wrong but that was my experience. But I didn't stay in Seoul where more people speak English probably because of tourism.
@@Fluxwux Finnish is not a Germanic or Latin based language, so it is probably as difficult for them to learn English as it is for Koreans. Have you ever been surprised that they can speak English so well?
@@ahkkariq7406 Finnish people are helped a lot by mandated Swedish lessons from a very young age, proximity to UK/EU and huge exposure to other “western/anglosphere” culture (essentially since the day they are born via movies, TV, video games, commercials that are mostly subtitled and not dubbed, but also the western internet in English or Swedish etc) as they are part of the western world and Swedish is an official second language. They also use the the Latin alphabet and there is more English/Swedish loan words in Finnish which all are things helping to get in to the Germanic language structure and English in particular. It’s without a doubt harder for Finns to learn English however compared to the Nordics and most German speaking countries however - which shows in statistics where English proficiency is several percent lower in Finland compared to the Nordics - and usually Finnish people have a much thicker accent when speaking English jokingly referred to “Rally Finnish”.
Team Finland🇫🇮 this was really fun to watch as a finn😆 I would like to add that in Lapland of finland, there is season called kaamos. It happens during winter and it’s time when the sun doesn’t rise at all. It was so interesting to watch, because my mom’s grandparents and mom’s dad is from Karelia actually (from Suojärvi)!
Finnair really got the grip on the East Asian market in the Nordics haha and people from Sweden usually connect in Helsinki if they aren’t going to Beijing, Bangkok or Singapore (and Tokyo, starting this fall) where there is direct flights from Sweden. However due to Russia closing the airspace since 2022, more people in Sweden are starting to go via the Gulf countries, Istanbul or Frankfurt/Amsterdam because it’s faster or just as fast as via Helsinki nowadays (and usually cheaper).
You can travel through Nordic countries and languages change and the scenery but the overall feeling is pretty same. I'd probably agree with 99,x% of values of my Swedish neighbors. Same goes with Denmark or Iceland. Cheers from Finland. If you want to fun to ensue, if you have bunch of Nordic people, ask the Swedes or Norwegians what they think about Danish language. After that you can ask what they think about Finnish.
Overall it's really similar. I can even speak Swedish with 90% and they would understand. But I clearly don't share more than 50% of the values with any of my neighbours. But that might be just me. 😅
As a Norwegian, it’s quite fun to see us getting included in these such challenges. I must also give these two a round of applause for getting it right aswell ❤
Um, I don't think that Norwegian girl was very , traditional, the other girls looked better in my opinion , conservative in dress, manners , everything . The Norwegian girl looked like a typical American sl!t , sorry . I don't mean to offend you I'm sure there are other good traditional girls there in Norway .

A fun video. I'm 🇫🇮 from my mothers side and 🇸🇪 from my dads side. It was nice to see how much those two koreans knew about the nordic/scandinavian countries. Good job!

You guys are very smart and speak so good English! It was warming to see how eager you were about getting to know countries behind our pretty ladies. Kiitos! Regards, 🇫🇮
Swedish is pretty smooth. Often american movies make it sound super silly and have them make "Yaaa" noises and sound really off. But it's a pretty smooth and low key kind of language.
@@calluna23 I grew up as a kid in Australia and ABBA was a cultural phenomenon back then. As an 11 yr old boy I wore ABBA T-Shirts had ABBA posters in my room. As a young boy I had a huge crush on Agnetha she was my angel. Now I live in Europe and am 50+ yrs old never married. Even though Agnetha is now like in her 70's , she's still my angel. Pretty pathetic ha ? Ha en trevlig dag!
@@gregorygant4242 Hey, im way younger but I always heard about the whole ABBA-fever in Australia - its true then?! haha, I thought it was mostly because my father was then one telling me and he Is such an ACDC fan
@@Jauhelihakeitto Yes it was I was 9 yrs old in Australia back in 1976-77 ABBA was the bomb there back then. Everywhere on TV ,news, magazines , they were there . Now I'm 53 live in Europe still remember those days .
It’s so fun to watch it’s just like when you ask a question in english in abroad from a local they start speaking and explaining in their language I think I make the exact same face as this two koreans 😂
Those all three have a history going far back. Finland was a part of Sweden for a long time, and for centuries Norway went back and forth between Denmark and Sweden.
Wow, these two are good! They know a lot more about Scandinavia than I expected. Like Moomin, I know the animes were produced in Japan, and Korea consumes a lot of Japanese media, but is Moomin that well known in Asia? And ofc, their English speech is incredible! 👏👏👏
In the context of someone who isn't from the Nordic countries hearing it spoken Finnish really makes it sound and feel like some sort of fairytale language
Mandatory in school plus most of tv shows and movies is in English with subtitles thank god its never ruined by dubbing into Swedish like in Germany😀everyone under 70yrs old understands English but not many like to speak it (if that happen to you give us a few drinks and we start speak it fluently😉)
Strong accent on the Norwegian? that's like the least accented dialect, like the one they use on TV as it's closes to Bokmål, one of our written languages. XD They'd get real confused if they used someone with an actual dialect :P ( similar for all of the countries really, like if they'd had someone speaking Skånska representing Sweden. :P )
I think the subtitles were a bit off on that. I don't think they meant she had a strong accent. I don't speak korean, so I don't know what they actually said, but I would guess they think norwegian has harsher or maybe clearer, more distinct sounds than swedish. But I am just guessing.
I don't think a lot of places today have no concept of what people from other places look like, but I grew up around the time the internet hadn't become fully mainstream. I am 198cm, 96kg, work out a lot and have blonde hair and blue eyes. Back then, I was 19, it was very obvious that people were staring when in Asia. The most wild thing I've tried was that an older mother offered me money to give her a grandchild. It's not like that today.
Finland actually has two official language. Finnish and Swedish. The Finnish dialect of Swedish is a little different from Swedish Swedish. But because of this you actually couldn't guess who is Finnish and Swedish just from the language.
To my ears Finnish-Swedish is a little arcane in comparison to regular Swedish, kind of like a time capsule from when Sweden and Finland were a single country a long time ago. So it's kind of more than a dialect, it features words and expressions that are rarely used anymore in Sweden. To my ears anyway. :)
Wdym😂 In Finland we speak Finnish and it’s nothing like scandinavian languages. Swedish is spoken by swedes. Finnish swedes are swedes living in Finland
@@minnaorv That doesn't change the fact that legally Swedish is one of Finlands official languages and there are regions in Finland where Swedish speakers are the majority of the population. And no, they're not Swedish. These regions are made of people born and raised in Finland, to parents who where born and raised in Finland, who speak Swedish as their first language. And yes, i am completely aware that Finnish is a Finno-uralic language, unlike the Scandinavians who speak Germanic languages.
@@minnaorvNo, most Swedish speakers that live in Finland are Finns. There are several reasons for this - for a long time all higher education in Finland was in Swedish. Totally Finnish people like a branch of my ancestors went to university and took Swedish sounding names, starting Swedish speaking families. Likewise there were mixed marriages for centuries. Even the originally Swedish speaking families may not have had any family members living in Sweden for centuries. Their ancestors may have been ethnic Swedes 500 - 1000 years ago - or German or Scottish as well.
Suomi mainittu! 👍Also, Vikings did try to invade our country once... Just once and never again after that. It did not go well for them. This is why our country is not known for Vikings.
They look like... uh... average, kind of "normal" to me lol. Don't get me wrong. They are beautiful! But, because there are a lot of beautiful people here, they look just like normal average every-day people to me. Greetings from Estonia.
These young ladies standing there complaining about living in Scandinavia really pisses me off! they dont know how good life they have. Get a grip!! From a proud norwegian.
Ok so im pretty confused. The Swedish girl had Denmark chosen on her, and the koreans asked if vikings are popular in the country, she said no, so would that mean that they though vikings aren't popular in Denmark?
So giggle and world friends are the same channel, but yet not? Same company. Both based in the US. I understand why they would diversify, but why have bunch of channels for same type of content. Just curious.
13:18 Moon and moonlight is not at all related to sunlight cycles on _Earth._ 🤦♂ The moon is up in Norway and the rest of the Nordics, just like any other place on Earth. The moon revolves around the Earth...
Most Finns are not ethnically Scandinavian either. I am rather sure the Finnish girl is more Finno-Ugric. Finns are of a mixed ethnicity, though, due to long Swedish history.
@@Audulf-of-Frisiayea also no way they will know football players of each country or artists belonging there or the romanian flag😂 Im sure 1 percent of Americans know if they pick educated people but the Average American… no way. Someone who had a scholarship in Chicago University asked me which state is Turkey in 😂😂😂 I can write a whole book of weird questions
I live in Sweden now and speak swedish as my second language😃 It was funny. Because of that my boyfriend can speak also finnish I understand also a girl who speaks finska 🌹😃 (not all the words but enough to understand what she has meant). Norwegian is so similar to swedish (this norwegian from the southest part of the Norway I think....) that it is no problem with understanding it 😏
The ask if there have been nordic wars, these girls couldn't give a single conflict.... Sweden took finland back from the russians and invaded norway(didn't go too well, but that's another story). Even the Norwegian, my girl norway has been under both denmark & sweden, we didn't get independence 'til the 1900s
Finland, from the very beginning of existing as an organized society, has been part of Sweden. There has likely never been war between the two except prior to Sweden forming a real kingdom in the 1200's.
How did he figure that there is no moon during a polar night? Anthems of other countries seem kinda bland, unsingable most of the time. In Crusader Kings you can still be a Viking in SwidJod, while Christianity is already entrenched elsewhere.
12:00 its the Nordic cross, basically they all just copied Denmarks flag. Skåne in the Southern Sweden used to be part of Denmark and their flag is red with yellow cross, then Sweden changed the red for blue. Finland copied the Swedes much later on making it a white cross again. Norway were part of Denmark they basically just added a thinner cross in the Danish flag.
@@mattilatvala4164 The blue with the white cross is Icelandic, though it also have a thin red one, but I think there was an old one without the red part. Still the same cross though!
Suomalainen kielitietelijä pelasti kuolevan Korean kielen noin 1900 luvulla. Tekemällä Aapisen. Korealaisille ja siksi vielä puhutaan Korean kieltä....Hyvä Suomi..
There are flag versions of the coat of arms of both the North and South Karelia regions of Finland. There is also a Finnish Karelian flag which has a black and red stripe. The East Karelian flag is not a Finnish flag.
