That’s prob the most accurate thing about the Scandinavian languages

@@eden3014 It must be, because every Nordic stand up I've watched so far has a joke about this at some point in their set.

moonlily1 yeah, I live in Sweden and we joke about that danish sounds like Norwegian but with tonsillitis

@@eden3014 I think I saw someone joke about the "Swedish Chef" character from the Muppets that that's what Danish sounds like to them.

moonlily1 so true😭😭

+talkingbowl We Finns can be sad in many places.. ;)

Fränk 1 Most places, actually. I've never encounter a place where one couldn't have been sad. I've been happy on one occasion: Sweden, 1995. Finland had just won and, for five minutes, I wasn't sad. Then I remembered that I was in Sweden and became very sad.

På svenska är grina att storgråta. Men jag förstår vad du menar, skulle dock förmodligen inte förstå om du pratat med mig kära lillebror!

Höögen spöögen po pippelerriler sommehomme don ååååååå.

@@heyall9717 Nej, grina kan betyda flera saker på svenska din store linguist. Och Sverige har blivit lillebror i norden. Ett svårt piller att svälja men det är sanningen.

@@heyall9717 Precis som Dennis skriver så kan grina i Sverige betyda olika saker beroende på vart du bor ditt kioskmongo och kioskmongo betyder bara en sak oavsett vart du bor i Sverige så ta din okunskap och tryck upp huvudet i arslet.

​@@heyall9717 P​​å Gotland betyder grina att skratta. (Ifall man inte är en av dem som pratar rikssvenska, för då menar man tvärtom, att grina betyder gråta. Språk är underliga saker.... 😅)

Fränk 1 but he speaks finnish perfectly, like it's his first language.

Well Oskar: in Helsinki, the capital of Finland, where André lives in, has a high percentage of swedish speaking population. But I can assure you that there aren't a single swedish speaker living in Helsinki who cannot speak finnish. Some of my good friends that I didn't know, are swedish speakers. So they usually speak swedish among themselves or they speak mixed finn-swede-language only they understand.

Fränk 1 I can verify that. My godmother lived in helsinki and did speak only swedish - despite being born (and lived) in finland. Bitch is dead now so you must be right ;)

Fränk 1 moi kiitos olen itse fin/swe ja ylensä ihmiset vihaa meitä koska puhutaan ruotsia:/

Kyllä jengi nyt jaksaa ottaa tosissaan ton mun läpän. Melkein vuosi sitten kirjotin ajankuluksi..Relatkaa hei. You guys make a big deal about nothing..don't take things so seriously, I like André and his material.. I say relax dudes.

don´t taste the soup....

😂😂😂 And here in Sweden we always say that Danish sounds like speaking Norwegian with a hot potato in your mouth.

Well, it's not that bad to go to Hotel Savoy, only do not ask for the directions.

Yeah, there's a hotel Savoy in Sweden as well. I wouldn't go there if I was you, it is a silly place.

@@TiasAhlgreN But it was nice and cheap...at least when I stayed there.

Funny because Finnish actually relies on the vocals. Finnish also has lots of double or triple vocals. Like "morning" = aamu, "night" = yö and "to exaggerate" = liioitella.

Well I know a Danish-Finnish guy, and he chose to speak Swedish. I call him reasonable.

Well, compared to danish any language is only consonants.

It can be measured: Finnish is one of the most 'vowelfull' languages. There are not even many consonants to choose from. Maybe some Danes have mixed it with Russian :) We're neighbours with them, but it's hard for the languages to be more different. Here's an example of Finnish, a Wikipedia introduction about Danmark. Tanskan kuningaskunta (tansk. Kongeriget Danmark) eli Tanska (tansk. Danmark) on perustuslaillinen monarkia Pohjois-Euroopassa. Sillä on vain yksi rajanaapuri, maan eteläpuolella sijaitseva Saksa, mutta Ruotsista sen erottaa vain kapea Juutinrauman salmi. Norja sijaitsee Skagerrakin salmen takana maan pohjoispuolella. Tanska on 43 094 neliökilometrin laajuinen, joten se on pinta-alaltaan selvästi pienin Pohjoismaa, jos Grönlantia ei lasketa sen pinta-alaan. Tanskassa asuu noin viisi ja puoli miljoonaa asukasta ja sen pääkaupunki on Kööpenhamina.

The Major Your friend chose to speak Swedish in Finland? Why was it reasonable, only a few percent of population speak it? Your friend should have chosen something people can communicate in, like English or Finnish.

Halvannan finns i svenskan också men inte så många använder det (eller förstår det).

So what is snese? 20? Tyve? I understand "tres" being three tyves etc. I wonder if I should start business with danes or keep far away from you. ;) And they say Finnish is difficult... 10 = Kymmenen 20 kaksikymmentä (two tens (ten in partitive form, which is form of plural in Finnish) 30 kolmekymmentä (three tens, etc...) 40 neljäkymmentä 50 viisikymmentä 60 kuusikymmentä 70 seitsemänkymmentä 80 kahdeksankymmentä 90 yhdeksänkymmentä

Snese is an old way of saying 20, yes. No one uses it today even though it is perfectly all right to do so. Just like dusin=12 isn't in use any more.

@@Toby_Jensen Ok. Tak skal du have.

There is now a new logical Danish number system: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iMufo9KT2Za2cpc.html

It's a political thing. Cover-up. The sound engineer disappeared shortly after this.

Russians did that audio fix with their state of art technology cos they are afraid of us

no?

Well it's more like "having sex" than "fucking".

"Ninety - nainti"

Could you be more specific? I don't get it. Probably because I don't know the word in Finnish.

nanok44 nainti = fucking. 90 in Finnish is yhdeksänkymmentä, though nobody takes the effort to pronounce it in the standard way but instead we say e.g. 'ysikyt'.

TheLahna87 I find it beautiful.

Danish is worse!

Finnish is better

When you learn a new language you find the beauty of it. I underatand Danish, Icelandic and Finnish and I love all the languages. And no, I'm not particularly smart, I've just happened to live in these countries.

Icelandic horses have a restriction that once they are exported from Iceland, they cannot be allowed back in.

He is. But "finnish swedish" consider themselves every bit as much Finns as finnish-speaking finns, although they speak a different language, and many consider it an insult to call them swedish.

So why do they live in Sweden? What i know is that there are swedish speaking Finns in Finland, that are etnically Finns, then there are Finnish Swedish living in Sweden and are swedes but have finnish heratige. then there is Finnish immigrants that came during the russian war, and some came later because of jobs or just wanting to move of other reasons.Then there are some Swedes speaking tornedalsfinska on the swedish side of the boarder. This is very confusing :)

"Swedish-speaking finns" (such as Andre), as the proper term goes, do not live in Sweden, but Finland. Individuals can of course move to a completely different countries, but they still don't necessarily leave their national identity behind.

i get that. but what im trying to say is that there are swedish speaking finns, there are finnish swedes, finnish immigrants in sweden, and swedish finns. Finlandsvenskar. Sverigefinlandsvenskar. svenskssprågika finnar, tornedalsfinskar,(som egentligen är svenskar) osv osv. it's so many variations that it's confusing.

He is Finnish. Swedish speaking 100% Finnish.

Finnish and Eesti keel are very similar, my theory is that some of the finno-ugric people went there. Swedish spoken by finns sounds similiar because of the finnish accent though Swedish är a totaly different language and Icelandic derives from old norse and are the only norse language that hasn't changed a lot probably because the isolation from the rest of the world.

Ingen som vet...

Hugs and kisses.

@@Andre_Wickstrom I have always dreamed of visiting Finland. If I find people like you I am certain that I will have a great time😘! Good set.

It helps if you are of Nordic ancestory. Then it's hilarious!

@@gordonbergslien30 - Does being Icelandic count?

S. Salman you would be pathetic too if you would have long, dark and cold winters

What's your point? Then stick to your own comedy and don't bother to comment. Or?

Yes, poor you, who have to watch this and then wasting your time writing a comment.
