Yes we watch dinner for one every new year eve here in Sweden. It's been on tv since 1969. But we call it grevinnan och betjänten, in English directly translated it's countess and servant.
Thanks for a great video! Please react to Jonna Jintons different movies, like "living in the dark winters of Sweden" and her version of our national anthem🥰!
Great reaction even though the video contained some information that was outdated, e.g. Ericsson Globe is renamed the Avicii arena. The word "riksdag" means the same thing as the German word, just as you mentioned. Ikea is pronounced very similar to the German pronunciation. "Dinner for one" is a big tradition in Sweden and it is shown every year on New Year's Eve. Regarding Donald Duck, I think he's more popular than Mickey Mouse because he's easier to relate to, as he's not as perfect. Here are some good videos that I think you should react to: Geography Now! SWEDEN (contains a lot of good and interesting information) King and Generals- Why Didn't the Nazis Invade Sweden? (about Sweden's role during the Second World War) Gus1thego- Which SCANDINAVIAN Country Is The BEST?
@@ChrisSweden yes, watching a bunch of german youtubers as a swede you really notice how insanely similar we our cultures and our languages are in so many ways!
how cool, which do you like the most? :) If you want to know things about German politics for example I would recommend MrWissentogo he is the main source of political knowledge for many teenage. Germans. @@Poifoprill
Germany should really take care of the garbage like Sweden does, now that you've realized buying gas from Russia was a bad idea. From the food waste, we make biogas with which we run the buses, and what is not recycled we burn to heat the houses. Recommend that you check Jonna Jinton - Living with the dark winters in Sweden.
No, Germany never occupied Sweden in WWII. Sweden had a very interesting role in WWII, surrounded by counties that at some part of the war all wanted to invade.. Sweden managed to break neutrality enough to avoid invasion. This is a very good video explaining how Sweden managed to do that. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8UsQnaKIw8k.html hint: Sweden helped Germany so much that Churchill called us bad names after the war. Might be interesting for you as a German to know what we did.
The German verson you said Ikea is the closest how we say it here in Sweden. Ikea is actuall a combination of the initials of the founder of the company (Ingvar Kamprad) and Elmtaryd (the farm he grew up in) located in Agunnaryd in Småland.
@@ChrisSweden Haha! Very much sarcasm! 😂 What could it be, 10-15% maybe of the population that live in and around Sthlm. But plenty of tomtar up north. 🤪
Something that caught me is that Scandinavia is Sweden, Norway and Denmark. Finland is not included there, however Finland is on the Scandinavian penninsula and not Denmark. Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark and Iceland are what's called of the Nordics, but it's not the sam thing as Scandinavia!
I dont think you should take this film too seriously, as for instance the pictures and the music might come from elsewhere, as you mentioned, Bawaria, you are quite right, and pic. of the hut, is from Finland. Scandinavia consists only of Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
Finland isn't a part of Scandinavia. There are three criteria: 1) share language, 2) share history traditions and mythology, and 3) be a mainland nation. Finland does not share language or mythology with Sweden, Norway and Denmark. It's not a part of Scandinavia.
I totally I agree, I wish Germany would be that smart. We have some "Müllheizkraftwerke" (waste-to-energy plants) but only very sparsly. Atleast nobody ever talks about them or see them as a viable option
1:37 i dont live in stockholm, we all non stockholmare hate stockholm. But far fewer people live up north, that is right. The reason we have so little people is likely because they just can't handle -10/-20.
I never knew this. So do you also have towns/cities that are called hansa/hanse town/city? For example Hamburg is called Hansestadt Hamburg (Hansacity Hamburg).
We have the Hanseatic city of Visby on the island of Gotland. It was a member of the Hanseatic League during the Middle Ages and at that time Visby had 2 mayors, one from Gotland and one from Germany. The language spoken in Visby was German and the Cathedral (still standing today) was built by German merchants.@@ChrisSweden
Yea kinda fun/random facts! Germany and sweden isnt that different.. especialy consider north Germany, in language and traditions! Its rather this that many cultural influences came from Germany like in Hansa period/Lutheran religion.. in one time we did speak the same language around the south of baltic sea!, some even say that old Norse is a Low German dialect!
I am impressed by how similar we are in some instances, which makes me very happy🥰 because everybody in Germany thinks very highly of Sweden and sees you as a rolemodel in many aspects 😊 Addition: I am from Bavaria (south of Germany) so probably some Nothern German friends are even more closer culturally.
@@ChrisSwedenit is not that hard to see and find things that are the same - during the early 1300-1500s the Hansa Leuge was a major player in the baltic - and during the 1600-1700s sweden fought in many wars in europe (among them the 30 years war and our king was killed outside Lützen 1632 - sweden was basicly at war between 1630 to 1710 (4 kings fought in those wars and basicly all land around the baltic sea was swedish and stockholm pretty much were in the middle of sweden.
Before WW2 Germany was the biggest influenceer on sweden for 200years.You can understand plenty swedish when you read slowly and open minded. Modern words are copied from english.
depending on the times German (1300-1600ish), french (during the 1700-early 1800 hundreds) then a bit of german again and since early 1900 english has been "inspiration" for swedish language develpoment and words from those languages has been incorparated and "swedishfied" into our language
But is riksdag the politicians/government or is it the building? Because in German the politicans are called the Bundestag and the Building is the Reichstag :)
We pay for trash! How else could we keep the central heating plants going at a predictable rate at times of low trash? IKEA is of course Ingvar Kamprad, Älmtaryd/Agunnaryd. His first two shops.
@@ChrisSweden no we don't pay for trash. It's better than that, we get paid to take care of other countries trash. About 40€ per 1000 kg. In total we get around 80 million € per year to keep our central heating and energy plants running.
