Reacting to FINNISH MEMES! 

It's understandable that he was confused by the "tomorrow", because translators won't understand it. Because "huomen" is not an actual word outside the phrase "hyvää huomenta" but it closely resembles "huominen", which means "tomorrow". And that's something google translate couldn't pick up on, because "huomen" doesn't refer to "tomorrow" but to the morning. "Hyvää huomenta" is a fixed expression and always means "good morning", but if you actually, for some reason, wanted to wish someone to "have a good next day/tomorrow", that would be "hyvää huomista".

@@naniyodesu Huomen is a word, and means morning. Though (younger) people don't understand it and so translate machines don't understand it. e.g. google translate is very good, but it does not use old knowledge very much. Unlike wiktionary, which knows very many old Finnish words. A foreigner should use that often.

@@kasperjoonatan6014 Whoops, my mistake then! Didn't know that. That's interesting. I've never ever heard the word "huomen" used on its own. Concerning every day use of the language though, I don't think it's important to know anyway :)

@@naniyodesu Oh yes it is important! Consider saying to your beloved in the morning in May: voi rakas, on jo kirkas huomen, ja tuoksuvat kukat tuomen. She/he will think you are brilliant!

@@kasperjoonatan6014 That's true, but in that case you can understand the meaning from the context by recognizing it as the same word from the phrase hyvää huomenta, just like the moomin meme :D I mean, I didn't know it was used on its own in actual language use and not just for poetic purposes, but still understood the meme of course.

He translated it.

@@HipsteryDibstery but google translated it wrong and he didn’t get the meme because the translation made no sense

well explained. and i think the whole "therapist: thing x isn't real, he cant hurt you" originated from "Skull Cow Isn't Real, It Can't Hurt You".

An excellent explanation, Inka! And one could add that Shakira met his future guy Gerard Pique at the filming of the video. That is a very important fact 😊

I also think to understand better it's good to know about Aino and Väinämöinen.

@@TheMursutin good that someone els said it..i dont wanna explain this..😐

Not here to nit-pic, but 'vaka(a)' would be more like 'stout' than strong...

Yeah. Not "me refrigerating 3 at night" but "Me at the fridge at 3 o' clock at night"

Kiitos tästä, ei ollut mitään hajua mikä siinä oli se pointti. Ei iske minuun.

No the cottage cheese is basically milk gone bad..

yeah and the joke is that the oldest thing still looks best although it's months after the best before date but you don't dare opening it anymore. Just like Legolas is waaaaay older than the other two but looks the youngest.

I actually thought that the joke was how you keep wondering to the fridge even tho there is nothing good in there. Even at 3 am when you should be sleeping.

Also, it's a reference to a Shakira (i think) video, like the one about Africa...

maybe it would be in english like this: Vaka vaka vanha = very very old

The third poem in Kalevala start with the phrase "vaka vanha väinämöinen". Cool fact instead of riming with endings, old finnish rimed with the start of the words. Like ypöyksin, iki-ihana, sotisopa(armor) and entistä ehompi.

@@ukkonoa **entistä ehompi. Ehtistä ei tarkoita mitään. Sen lisäksi mainittakoon oikeat kirjoitusmuodot, eli "ypöyksin" ja "iki-ihana"

@@Ghostiification rapatessa roiskuu..

Gives a rough idea, but if you wanted a good translator for sentences, it would have to be coded specifically. Doubt anyone wan'ts to do it for free.

Well I'm not gay, but I can try..?

6:17 "Me at the fridge at 3AM" and what they find inside

7:12 "I always say 'morning' and not 'good morning', for if it were a good morning, I'd still be in bed and not talking to people"

Yeah! React with Cat for example?

Kekko is a giant actually.

Or viceversa.

It's far from being completely worthless, unless your brain only understands binary.

it's fine in some cases mut suomessa ainakin ku taivutetaan nii pal ja puhekieli (ja murteet) viel ni ei oikee toimi

@@sntt3404 ja juuri tästä syystä internetissä pitäisi pysyä mahdollisimman kirjakielisessä ilmaisussa. Tai esimerkiks näin että se viimeinen i jää pois, mallia: "pitäis". Puhekieli nyt vielä menee mut jos joku nyt rupe redditis jotai Poria mongertama nii ei sit vittuka selvä ota.

Why not both? These were solid upper-middle class when it comes to Finland-memes tho. Usual shit is so terrible it gives me headache worthy of Christmas carols during October.

@@jokurandomi93 What an excellent comparison 😂

My thoughts... But hey most of the people watching this channel is probably teenagers. Wouldnt surprise me if most of these memes came from younger people.

Jonnet ja jonnat ei tajuu.

@@jokurandomi93 No way upper-middle class, no Finnish memes I've seen are anywhere near as bad as these were, and I've seen a lot of memes. Tai ehkä nää hivelee joidenkin supernormojen huumoria

"starting-with-the-same-sound-in-a row" - alliteration?

@@Yoarashi maybe, I am not a native English speaker

The whole Kalevala is something we all are forced to read at some point during elementary school. It is considered somehow important national story but honestly it is boring and makes no sense to children that age. The phrases are almost like different language and hard to understand. Reading it makes you wait there was some kind of catch but there is no catch, it’s not funny or interesting or anything. Like ”Ok, there is this guy singing and going down the stream, so what then? I guess it’s kind of storytelling, of what I could understand about it”. Then after you have been forced to read it you’ll never do it again. It kind of makes my head hurt like yours when you tried to understand the memes. Makes no sense for the most part. So maybe the joke is about the nonsense of original Kalevala too. Makes just as much sense. Made me crack a little bit :) Similar to the mandatory cross-country skiing for all children like two times a year at school. Parents have to buy skis and bring them to school because of that. And children need to haul them around school. Makes no sense and no one likes it but it’s part of being finnish I guess? Some old stuff.

Also in Kalevala there is used ”vaka” instead of ”vakaa”, which means stable. No one uses ”vaka” anymore and it seems like typo. So maybe this ”waka waka” is making fun of that typo
