Great video! Greetings from Finland.

Saying "sorry for your loss" in Finland is pretty much completely optional, just like saying anything at all is. I bet she didn't even notice you didn't!

I definitely wouldn't want to have everything to lose. I would accidentally leave it on the next bus stop!

6:12 that is so funny how other people than finnish understant the names. Her name is Jenni.

In London you would have been mugged.

I think you found one of the corner stones of Finnish/Nordic happiness when you discussed the strive for the unreachable. The thing is that we are content with the simple things. The lack of obsession over fame and wealth makes us free and content (in other words, happy)

Sometimes i forget to be grateful about being Finnish and living in Finland. The weather is really upsetting at times but its really pretty in the summer. People always say how Finland is more beautiful in the winter but personally i'd say its more beautiful and peaceful in the summer.

Good stuff bro. I feel this is what we need nowadays

Im not sure who says ''happiest'', i dont know any finnish guy who enjoys to live here..??

I love ur content and style, keep going ur madly underrated <3

Hell yeah, a new sode of Couchside Talks! ❤

you suck -finnish guy

I am overwhelmed by the kindness my little video about Finland has received. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about happiness, nature, and gratitude in the comments. It has been a joy reading them all and talking to all of you nice people. You are too kind, and I appreciate all of you <3 🌻Again, thank you, and stay tuned for more videos if you like what I do! 🌻

really underrated man! you have much bravery for being able to talk to people like this

This is the most stupid and most boring thing I have ever come across on KZbin. Why bother to post such rubbish, such useless nonsense? I presume Boxpop is German, and Germans are famous for their complete lack of humour. Appalling!

Amazing video, you deserve a lot more followers

To lose everything and meeting with nothing is a profound experience. With my definitions, in reality there is no such thing as nothing and nobody really knows what it feels like to have nothing.

2:40 the longest day in HELSINKI, in northern Finland the longest days and nights last months

1:40 the civil war happened AFTER independence, in 1918...

Lots of finnish people don't think that Finland is the happiest country in the world. It's such some nonsence. We have food lines where people find food for them selfs. Some people are rich and some are very poor. Distance between them is huge. It's okey to froze. I think many finish frozes too in that kind of circumstance. It's like not taught to us. It often doesn't come like second nature. Like it should. Paula

I think Finland is the happiest country because of the trust we have in others. You don't need to be scared for your safety. You do not need to live in fear that your belongings will get stolen unless you bolt them to their place. And because there is little suspicion towards other people, we can be nice to others and exist in peace. Knowing that others or the government have your back gives a sense of safety. Also, I believe that because many Finns live apart from others and can live in their own peace without being bombarded with constant stimuli, as you would in a big bustling city, the calming environment keeps our heads clear and relaxed. We can just exist without the need to perform. Nature is great for that since in nature, it is just you, your thoughts, and the surroundings. These are some of my thoughts that I personally can relate to and are key to my happiness as a Finn.

im from finland

I think one of the things that make fins happier is that we don’t dream of being a millionaire but maybe having a small cottage on an island w great view

I’m from countryside of Finland and in Helsinki I feel people are so busy and in rush and the city is too big for me😂

At læse kemi og fysik op sammen med dig for nogle år siden havde jeg aldrig gættet du ville ende her, men på samme tid er jeg ikke helt overrasket hahaha. Grinern eksperiment dude

i dont know about you, but the goal of my life is to get more things to lose

i wanna go see finland now . beautiful nature, people and places. it seems like the best place to catch my breath at.

4:49 well, a finn here, so, a really common thing that pretty much everyone does here is actually shorten words, it's a form of slang I guess? for example the 'correct' way to say the numbers one through five is 'yksi, kaksi, kolme, neljä, viisi' but most people say 'yy(or yks), kaa(or kaks), koo, nee, vii ' because it is much faster to say, you can do it with pretty much any commonly used words 'milloin' becomes 'millo' 'missä' to 'mis' and so on.

I think your question is actually giving a hint about our happiness. We are mostly thinking we have everything to lose, and that’s why we are humble on what we have or get. Everything you get is a gift, which we humbly appreciate and enjoy of. Even just a little things. Connected to nature is also part of same ideology. We are enjoying the nature as a gift. Cold winter makes us humble and tough. Warm summer makes us peacefull and calm. In the end when we have everything to lose, that makes you understanding and respecting also others. I think nothing to lose would be a harmful illusion.

Very great video! I can't believe you only have 500 subs, even tho there were some some minor kinks i didn't like but the different approach was pretty soothing. Your incredibly underrated😁

I’m from finland😮

how do you have 445 subscribers bro

I think being closer to nature means exactly what it means if you get what im saying😅 Would you be happy living in urban jungle or closer to vibrant colors, peace and quiet? Cleanest air and best water in the world makes huge difference about how you see everything. One more thing, i personally think that one of the things that make us happy would be not having meaningles ”quick talk”, in that way you don’t form meaningless relationships with others. One of our songs even says something about that, when translated it goes something like this ”The laurels of death are greening, and at the grave no cheap words are spoken”. God bless you man and if you ever come to Finland again lets meet up and go fishing and camping so you personally know what im talking about

I loved this video:]

The people didn't watch north and came to Finland, they watched west and then came here.

3:47 i did not know that

13:04 to me, being connected with the nature means a couple of things: presence, functionality and the values. - *Presence:* you notice and observe the nature. It doesn't need to be anything grandiose, such as hiking in the national park. It can be you observing the plants on the side of the road. How plants let you know the season is changing soon. What changes there is on your nearby nature on the span of a day, month, year, or even longer times (the four distinct seasons must be one thing that wakes up our curiosity about the nature). And also it's the mindset that nature is everywhere, when you just open your senses. - *Functionality:* you live in intertwined connection with the nature. You protect and respect the nature, and it gives you so much: the air to breath, the wonders to marvel, the many things to eat such as berries, mushrooms and wildherbs (also meat and fish if you're having them in you diet). You can hike, do sports, do birdwatching, learn so much and find the mental peace and connection in the nature. - *The values:* you recognize the value of the nature and aim at treating the wildlife fairly and sustainably. I'd dare to say that the number of people who see nature preservation and sustainability at least somewhat important, is way higher among Finns than among the population of most any other nations. It's a combination of spirituality, long history of connection with nature (since childhood) and functionality. We want to treat something well that is so important to us on so many level. Another unique characteristics of Finns is the sense of collective responsibility when it comes to nature. We have the every man's rights even in our law. When we have the right to use the goods of the nature regardless of the status or class or any other external characteristics, it also brings the sense of we're in this together and if we don't take care of this together, everyone will lose everything. Apologies, the connection Finns experience with nature is impossible to explain shortly 😅

The longest word thing, well, it's a combine word so it doesn't really count. It also makes it kinda difficult to find the longest word. Among the longest non-combine words would be something like "epäjärjestelmällistyttämättömyydellänsäkään" which translate to "Even with the lack of systematization". Finnish is a weird language.

Tykkää jos oot suomalainen

youre such a good person, i know its kind of out of the blue and stuff but the way youre so emotionally intelligent and how easily you express your thoughts in this calm video - i admired it all!

Actually, there are three official languages in Finland. They are finnish. swedish and saame

Bravo. You discovered that Finland is not utopia. No one ever said it was. We do have problems like all countries. But we also have many great things people take for granted. ”Happiest country” simply means that all other countries have it even worse 🤦‍♀️

Do one in turku please..

"why is finland the happiest country?" I get this question a lot and I never know how to respond... it's just like, over all we're doing okay here, the system is kind to us and the culture makes it okay to just be without having to take up a lot of space, and maybe that's enough

This was such a sweet video! I feel like ppl always make these very over the top videos when they talk about Finland but yours was more calm and sincere, very Finnish in a way. We like to be real.

Nice video! However, the daylight lengths are not correct for the whole Finland as you mentioned. It is a long country and while the South (where Helsinki is) might have about 6 hours of daylight in the winter, the North (northern Lapland) has two months of constant darkness in the winter. Similarly, the sun is up for 2 months in a row in the North and the capital folks get just less than 20 hours of daylight in the peak of summer.

couch, dad, tools - hell yea

Safety, wealth and monoculture. But people don't want to accept this. Because wanting money is "morally bad" and "monoculture" is morally bad. But the truth is, with a lack of diversity, comes people who work together and trust and understand each other.

2:06 the funny thing is, everyone outside of Helsinki keeps saying how everyone one in the capital are in such a rush all the time
