Ulko is a very strange one. I believe it’s same root in saami too. More challenging to imagine how it’s very old in all these languages.

Came here because I have familiarity with Finnish vocabulary and listening to Russian speaking on a video my ears just every now and then hear something similar, aside from latinate and greco words common to my English tongue. Thank you this is very interesting. Assume the words went from Russia to Finland via trade since many were about objects that would be traded or wanted by more well-connected (aristocratic) Russian descended members of Finnish community from their motherland. Just as all the words for bedding seem to come from Swedish/Nordic into Finnish

In 1293 the governor of Sweden Torgils Knutsson with the blessing of the Pope undertook the third crusade to Southern Karelia. This campaign began with foundation of the fortress of Vyborg. The castle on rocky island consisted of the powerful tetrahedral tower surrounded with high wall. In 1294 and 1322 there were unsuccessful attacks of the Novgorod forces. In 1323 the treaty between Sweden and Novgorod Republic was signed and first division of Karelian's land was made. In according to that treaty the border on the Sestra river was established. By the way, the word "Ruotsi" (Sweden) means "land of Russ" or "Rus's land" in according to some researches. Medieval Vyborg Medieval Vyborg In 1470-75 city fortifications with ten towers was built. Vyborg castle became one of the most powerful fortresses in Ruotsi. In 1495 was the end of Tatar yoke over Russia. Moscow tzar Ivan III seized city Novgorod. The commandant of Vyborg Knut Posse mustered a home guard - all about 1900 persons. September, 21 - the city was besieged by Russian armies (near 10000, many guns and 120 vessels). Fierce attacks lasted for the three weeks. Famine began in the city in November. New big storm was on November,30. Russians seized one of the towers. Defenders brought to the tower barrels with powder and blew it up. It was named "the Vyborg Thunder" later. The storm was a failure. December, 4 - siege was taken off.

It used to be one of the wealthiest and cleanest Finnish cities until Stalin stole it. It seems like Russians don't take good care of it because now it's full of poverty, dirtiness and the place is in very bad shape-

B vitamines are good for the memory.

Same words English and Finnish, but is not the same words. Eng Fin Tie = Road Sun = Yours Oven = Door

in swedish кастрюля is kastrull, u pronounce it the same just without the ya

6:07 interesting building, it reminds me of miniature version of Helsinki trainstation entrance. :D

Hello, and thank you. I am meeting with a new man from Kemi Finland . He's a Scorpio, and I am a 5 planet in my house Libra! We get al9ng great in texts🎉 Your video explains a lot of what I experienced in our texts. I am now subscribed and looking forward to hearing what you have to say 😊 Thankyou

Oh, "Talks"! Not "Jalka"..

But really that is not good. 😂😂😂

I have chabged bluebrry vodka to some really expenssive whiskey in Stockholm. 😂

I have never tried. Would you recommend trying? Didn't even know about such Koskenkorva variety.

I loved this video.

Congratz. It's very easy to find work when you speak finnish. It's hard for foreigners, I wish we made it easier. Anyways good to see you here.

Very fierce battles was fought close to Viipuri during WW1/WW2.The biggest battles were the battle of Tali-Ihantala in June-July 1944,and the battle of Tienhaara in June 1944.

Mechelininkadulta?

You made me find out about Silent Hill. I learned about games but also about a movie. You made the association of creepiness to such weather. Many people do. The feelings I get are very different. For me walking alone in darkness but also in misty weather is comforting meditation like experience. It's the wet icy slippery weather I don't like it even though walking in such conditions is definitely nothing new to me.

Being middle-class gives them right to shit in our pools and act bad? I surely hope we never get any ryssä-tourists anymore.

And the only threat we have had, all these years, is Russia. Who else would attack another country, killing thousands? Sweden? 😂

I’m pretty sure she knows what we think of ryssä by now.

Lovely interview!

@3:48

great interview

@1:48. I felt much the same way when someone taught me the word "ashtray" in Spanish. I don't smoke, so why would I want to learn that? Well, now you can say to people what you don't like in Finnish. If you see it on the menu, don't order it!🤪

I would definitely recommend the following Russian series for teenagers: Выжить после, Чернобыль - зона отчуждения, Mir! Druzhba! Zhvachka!, ЖУКИ, Sparta, Kitchenblock, maybe Fizruk. These are the Russian series that teenagers seem to be interested in that I can see from my statistics. I have a good selection of these and other Finnish and Russian series on my channel. Just the trailers, but the idea is to get people interested enough in something, then they go and watch the whole series, right? Maybe you could suggest they choose their own television series? For Finnish, I would recommend the following for teenagers: Sininen enkeli, Lovi, Outo kesä, Kimmo, Huijarisyndrooma (only 1 minute episodes, so very great for short attention span), Aikuset, Luuserit, Uusi Päivä, Kuuma Peruna, Sohvaperunat. 🙂

It's probably because the parents want their children to learn languages more than the teenagers themselves. Teenagers just don't want to be there. I think maybe they will be more interested in languages later in life? We can only hope. I sympathise. No profession is easy. Every profession has it's down sides and negatives.

Söitkö kuuluisaa puuroa?

Very very happy Christmas for Alena !! She is so happy -- happier even would she be in Tampere :)

Hyvää joulua 🎉😊

Partioaitta is perhaps a shop you already know. They sell gear for outdoor activities. The following is their advice on how to prepare for winter swimming: "Talviuinti ei vaadi suuria hankintoja. Uimapuvun lisäksi päähineen käyttöä suositellaan ja avantouintiin tarkoitetut tossut suojaavat liukastumiselta, teräviltä kiviltä sekä helpottavat usein kylmyyden sietämistä. Neopreenitossuja tai uintisukkia ei tarvitse riisua pois veteen mentäessä, mutta sukkien kaverina on suositeltavaa käyttää nopeasti jalkaan vedettäviä sandaaleja, jotta liukastumisvaara saadaan minimoitua pukukopilta veden äärelle siirryttäessä. Vedenpitävät hanskat pitoa parantavilla kämmenosilla suojaavat sormia liialliselta kylmettymiseltä sekä mahdollistavat tukevan otteen uimarappusten kaiteista. Pakkassäällä lämmön haihtumista pois kehosta on hyvä ehkäistä pukemalla pipo tai villapanta pään lämmikkeeksi uimisen ajaksi. Reilun kokoinen matkapyyhe suojaa tuulelta veden äärelle käveltäessä, kuivaa kehon tehokkaasti sekä kuivuu nopeasti. Kylmässä vedessä uimisen jälkeen on tärkeää pukeutua lämpimästi, jotta kehon vilustuminen estyy. Märät uintivarusteet voi pakata kotimatkan ajaksi kuivasäkkiin, jolloin ne eivät pääse kastelemaan repun tai laukun sisältöä. Termosmukiin tai -pulloon valmiiksi keitetty höyryävän kuuma juoma sekä ruokatermokseen pakattu aamupuuro tai illalliskeitto lämmittävät kehoa sisäisesti viimeistellen rauhoittavan, elinvoimaa lisäävän uintikokemuksen luonnon syleilyssä."

Why did you run, it's not that cold 👍😂

Happy to see that, winter bathing is so nice! Especilly when it is cold enough in the air that the water in the hole start to smoke. "Sabotage mot vinterbadare, varmvatten i vaken".

I would blame the shaking ladder making you nervous in a situation, where calm mind would help staying relaxed and to avoid panicking or getting in a shocked state, which can easily overwhelm you and make you run .

Hrrrrrr...... So brave!

Hi Alena, lintukoto means a poetic form of bird's nest, home of a bird, located in peaceful forest far away from the restless world. So a nice hidden hut in forest or another nice peaceful place or region can be your lintukoto.

I hate Russia, I love russians.

Culture is something that a group people attach to their collective behavior? Something which somehow differentiate them from others. We should remember that also individuals can be different and similarly deserve to be tolerated by others, if being different isn't harmful to others. We could extend the concept of culture to individuals in this context and not ignore individuals. Workplaces have or develop some common corporate culture (internal behavioral norms). They also have competition but also cooperation between groups and individuals. People with different qualities can be especially effective group handling more complex challenges. But it can also be a source of tension, if differences are creating conflicts. A more homogeneous group can sometimes be better in some tasks where speed and minimal friction between individuals is beneficial. It is difficult management challenge to estimate which is better in different situations and also the details of different "cultures" makes mixing them very different challenges in some situations. As an example: Ukrainians and Russians working in Finland same workgroups. They might even share language and much culture being a good match working together or experience each other as being on the opposite sides of a major conflict, which can be too much for them however good intentions people have in trying to cooperate. Sometimes external situations make situations different and difficult even though individuals would start with good intentions. Corporate culture can help there being the common culture for all and giving guidelines of how to cooperate and behave.

You look so beautiful and elegant Alena!

Perhaps so in some workplaces or more generally. That reminds me of an old stereotypical statement about men and women: Women want to talk about problems and feel better after having talked about them. Men have more need to do something to the problem, to solve it, and become more irritated by just having to talk about problems without achieving solutions. In my experience, there can be some truth in that. Without talking potential conflicts or problems can't become recognized and handled - talking is very much needed. But endless talking and dwelling in a difficult situation without solution doesn't help.

A pilkunnussija can nussia in other areas too. e.g., if someone says: "it snowed 2 cm in Tampere today", he/she says: "actually, it was 2,4 cm".. But I am happy that you Alena are a little bit of a pilkunnussija irl, I am too :)

Myötähäpeä happens because people feel empathy. A normal good person feels sorry for a person who makes mistakes. It is the same with other feelings - we are happy when a person on the screen is happy, etc.

Halloween is a foreign and nowadays mostly a festivity with just commercial value. I wish it won't get more room in Finland.

Tiedätkö corgit nimeltä Hamilton ja Olivia? Tää on hauska jos sanoo Hammyn "äänellä" So spooky! 😂

Nice video Alena and you getting better everyday. Best part of Finnish language is you can "invent" new words if you like. Just find words what you like and of they rime and together mean something or action you can put them together. There you go you have new word. That's the beauty of combine words. Try, you might find your work in dictionary in the future. ;o)

"Vahingonilo" is a literal translation of German "Schadenfreude".

The interpretation of kalsarikännit you use seems to be in that sense a more modern one that it includes this self ironic overdramatized possiblity of not being actually very drunk. The older use was referring to getting drunk indeed. I can recognize that the use of the word has drifted to include also less excessive drinking.

I would say that a tosikko can have so vivid, deep understanding and knowledge, which can make him or her interesting and not boring even though he or she takes things seriously, even too seriously, and don't make an effort to be funny. And then there are also Buster Keaton type comedians, who use seriousness as a style to create funny circumstances. It is a kind of tosikko, isn't it.

We humans have the ability to reflect what others feel, to see situations from the other people's perspective. At least healthy human minds have this ability, which seems to be basis for empathy. Our brains can try in a way to mirror what an other person is experiencing and to feel it as own experience.

I've never heard the word "hankiainen". For me it has always been "kantohanki".
