r/Finland on Reddit is both weird and wholesome... 

For the snow sculpture post bit you mean keltainen lumimies?

Yup that carry over to Sweden also,

Exactly

Yes very true

Yep 😂 My first reaction was that what the hell?? Chicken?? It’s fish 🤣

Kalapuikot!

"It's all fun and games until the snow starts shooting bullets" A common Russian proverb

The math speaks Greek The trees speak Vietnamese The snow speaks Finnish

Äpy is being published still. Feels like the budget is lower every year ;)

@@Hippinaama heh

Äpy and Julkku were the ones published in Helsinki area. Just legendary publications.

I really don't think it's from the 90s, most like early 2000 when the first LOTR movie had come out. That is when I started hearing about this idiocy =)

@@thamor4746 Dunno, it might have been sauna troll (peikko) first.

r/mina_irl: jonne

Funny to see you here and spreading facts no less LOL

@@rastas_4221 on täällä

Yep. Even finnish army rations include (at least when I was in army) a bag of Gifflars. I guess that's big part of why they ae so popular.

Mörkö looked a bit like Putin.

Good luck, mörkö lives in hills :D

The Finns can't help being weird as they have been acquainted with creatures like Mörkö and Morso at their most tender age. Their sweet, naive innocence was brutally cut short.

Like Snufkin said in Moominvalley, "The Groke is just a misunderstood creature". And I do like how Moomin later got into more contact with her. Nothing to worry about, except of the plants in your garden if Mörkö comes too close. :-)

I would just freeze in fear. As I did just now

Japanese anime always has this table with blanket and heater under it on winters ... we as kid had blanket over table and we were watching Muumeja at winter from there and my god did we get traumas from the Mörkö ... I'm more scared of the ice Queen who even Mörkö is afraid ... or was he in love with her? poor Pikku Myy

@@xezzee My younger sister was scared of the Ice Queen and I just laughed at her because I thought that Ice Queen was just ridiculous. Like it has fucking star shaped wheels. It looks is like kid's toy or something. :D

Many lapsihood ptsd surfaced

@@nova_supreme8390 that thing was also hella nightmare Fuel When u was 5

oon 15 ja silti nään painajaisia möröstä vähän väliä. Niinku kenen idea oli tehä siitä niin v!tun pelottava???

Yup, has happened to me many times.

Kurkkumopo is the most beautiful toy I have ever seen

My friend is that one guy who in his drunk mind wante d to play. And then hurt himself (no suprise there)

Ihan helvetin harvinainen

Cucumber moped, the holy artefact.

One of my earliest memories are pushing myself along on the kurkkumopo, I can feel the paved driveway with rocks on it after the snow is gone and all you have left is wetness and how it felt with my little saappaat on trying to push it forward with the little gravel stopping me. I can only imagine the sweet colorful reima jumpsuit i had on...

My Google Maps speaks rally English and English Finnish, it switches mid sentence

@@xWood4000 Even though my Google Maps is in Finnish, the navigator says the location names with an English accent. I have to rely on road numbers because I can't understand any names it tries to pronounce.

I'm so old I had a kurkkumopo when I was a kid. It was the coolest ride... cool as a cucumber one might say

Like in Sweden, were you supposedly have the game "runka bulle", in which a group of men masturbate furiously while aiming on a cinnamon bun. The objective is to cum as quickly as possible, and whoever comes last, has to eat the bun. Obviously, nobody actually plays that game (I hope), but most people have heard of it.

Yeah, I lived with my inlaws few summers ago and used my phone hotspot to play Battlefield on my desktop PC, it worked well and I had like 10 ping added compared to my own Internet at home. Mobile Internet is pretty damn solid nowadays.

It's not perfect though. I wish I had a cable coming here and I don't even live that far off. Just Finnish things, move away from people to avoid them but having to put up with crappy internet.

Same thing for me right now

Hm, maybe a motion sensor to activate some led lights and a speaker...

@@0xbaadf00d OOH YES!

Yeah! We had many like "peltoauto" at teenager 😀

Well its still a car 😂

More cars. Less registered cars.

Welcome. Even the sun has moved here gain. For a couple months. XD

Don't do it. Putin crush Finland in the few days. Russians is very bad as neubor.

Yes dont

dont

Welcome :)

Finland to Australia...do you just like fucked up weather?

@@Suduris right?? The irony of it is that I LOVE LOVE the cold and snow, not the rain and misery. So living 1st in the cold, then the extreme hot, and I'm uncomfortable almost all the time 🤣😳😳

@@julianaFinn Yeah, I'm similar in some ways. Family is from Europe so I don't handle the heat here at all. Cold is always preferable lol

I was looking for this you really need to be safe around boars

For me, things like this were actually the reason why I fell love with the Finnish language. Obviously the meme highlights the confusing aspect of it, but the Finnish language allows for much more precise communication than English does. "Minä tykkään hänet" is not grammatically wrong, but the meaning is different from "minä tykkään hänestä". With the "hänet-variant", you are making a statement about what you are about to do. "Minä tapaan hänet", "minä merkkaan hänet", "minä katson sarjat", "minä luen lehdet". With the "hänestä-variant", the focus is more on the object of the sentence. In this case, "her". The confusing bit about this is just that the stä-suffix is also used as the linguistic equivalent of "from", making it look like "minä tykkään hänestä" would translate into "I like from her", which is a different (albeit identical) sentence altogether. Comparing Finnish and English makes English look like the quote "Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick?" The difference being, Finnish actually has the fewer words despite the increased communicative precision, as the nuance is in the suffixes and prefixes, instead of completely separate prepositions. One last thing about the meme though. The final correction in the meme is wrong. He should've corrected it into "Suomen kieli on vitun vaikea", not "Suomenkieli on vitun vaikeaa". "Suomen kieli" is two words, "suomenkielinen" is one word. Puhuminen on vaikeaa, kieli on vaikea.

@@TheRawrnstuff "hänet" implies someone (some people) do something that inflict them so there's why it's incorrect. I don't have a degree in any language but that's the best I could come up with by just thinking.

@@whazzup_teacup Very true. "Hänet" implies that "hän's" status/condition undergoes a change of some kind. My point was that the sentence is grammatically correct, if we give "tykätä" a meaning that can be done in a one-and-done fashion. Like clicking the like-button. In that sense, "minä tykkään hänet" would be correct. Obviously, the most likely meaning of "liking someone" isn't in this one-and-done fashion but rather an ongoing process that never really resolves, so it's a very safe bet to say "minä tykkään hänet" is wrong, even when lacking context. But it's not wrong in the "absolute" sense. It's just very, very unlikely to be correct in practice and in real life.

@@TheRawrnstuff Yeah, and again it's hard for me as a native to think why "hänet" is wrong so thanks for clearing up a bit.

@@TheRawrnstuff And of course it gets even more confusing if we replace the verb "tykätä" with "pitää", which can and often does mean the same thing. "Minä pidän hänestä" means I like her, but "minä pidän hänet" means I'll keep her. Got to love this language.

For some reason I still think if the company is not Finnish and still have Finnish text, I call it sus :D

Wow.

Yes,of course...The name of the game is " Koijataan Apinaa"

@@samimiettinen3457 lmao en muistannu yhtää

I mean, r/finland has a lot of foreigners, whereas r/suomi is in Finnish, so it's restricted to mostly Finnish people. It's obviously going to have more authentic content. I do prefer it though.
