[@herrakaarme]

The best thing about subtitles is that you still hear the original language of the original actors. It doesn't even matter if you understand the language or not, all languages sound interesting and beautiful in their own ways. In a good production, the actors are professionals and thus their voices are definitely a big part of their acting as well. If you simply dub over it, you lose half of the original work not only the actors put in but also what the director of the movie wanted. Not to mention, if a movie is located in ancient China, it most certainly is a more wholesome experience if the characters are speaking in Chinese, not in some other, totally random language. I don't really need subtitles with English language titles, but I'm happy I could grow up listening to Arnold Schwarzenegger, James Earl Jones, or Christopher Lee sound like they should sound, not like some random dude dubbing over their voices.

[@wardeni4806]

Subtitles on everything is one of the reasons why Finnish people are usually quite good at languages. It helps to learn the language, and also when you have subtitles you know how different words are written etc. Also, the number 1 reason people move to Finland from abroad is actually love. Most people with foreign background moved here due to having a Finnish spouse, and obviously Finland is extremely supportive of families with children so it's just a no-brainer for those couples to raise their kids in Finland (I mean, the state pays you monthly for each kid until they reach the age of 18 so why would you raise them elsewhere). :)

Getting either less or more patriotic about your home country; I moved to Finland from the US when I met my husband, and watching Trump has definitely made me happy that I moved here. 😂 I watch everything with subtitles now because it's helping me learn Finnish.

[@ChristianJull]

The subtitles are one the reasons English is so good and widespread in Finland. They are there on every English-language show and they help the learning process immensely. It was a very wise decision to use them instead of dubbing (like in France and Germany). But you can turn them off in the TV settings. A little more difficult than Netflix and HBO, but still possible.

Your pronouncing is really good, but i think that the common mistake with foreigners speaking finnish (especially people whose motherlanguage is english) is that they tend to "prolong" words and certain letters, like when you're saying "perkele", you say it like "pherkhele". Finnish language is as "blunt" as it gets :). We literally say the words exactly the same way as we write them, so if you learn to pronounce every letter, you'll speak perfect finnish in no time when you're reading something. But your finnish is already so good that there's no point in worrying about it because everyone can understand what you're saying, and trust me not everyone can do it ;D. It's a bit off topic but: If you wanted a finnish person (who doesn't speak english) to read your name and pronounce it right you'd write your name "Deiv Khäd" ^^

[@savannahfoote592]

I get what you mean with the "prolonging". I'm trying to teach my American fiance Finnish, and he's putting too much air behind his p's and t's and he *H A T E S* having to say a word that has an h in the middle. Like vihreä. The h turns into that throaty French hghghhg you know?

[@tapanilofving4741]

Swedish is easier for you because it is in the same language group as English. Finnish on the other hand has NOTHING in common with that language family, so everything is totally different. It's the same thing between for example Japanese and French, nothing in common.

[@herrakaarme]

Finnish has a truckload of loan words from Swedish and German (and of course English from the last decades of English global domination). That's hardly NOTHING in all caps. Swedish might have also been good practice for pronunciation with Ä and Ö. Swedish also obeys the letter/syllable pronunciation regularity far better than the more or less totally random English. That's one good lesson for Finnish as well, where it's almost rock solid.

Im impressed of the fact that your finnish is so good, since its a kinda hard language

[@christopherallen7851]

Great video Dave, I can relate to pretty much everything you mention. Regarding a good comparison with the UK, how come the weather is much colder, yet I feel warmer? Could it be better insulation and affordable heating?

[@Sidraughen]

I'm a finn and I also have english subtitles on for everything I watch. Sometimes the voice is muffled or I just missed something or it's a fantasy/scifi movie and I have no idea how someone's name is written. I mostly ignore them but they are nice to have.

[@haroldsullivan1514]

The Iittala tumblers and Moomin Arabia mugs that came home with us from Helsinki over the years have mostly shrugged off punishment that IKEA stuff just can't handle. Chipped the rim of a Mörkö mug by dropping a cast iron pan on it, which would have destroyed lesser pottery. Need to come back for another visit sometime soon; I've only got one unopened 50cl bottle of salmiakkikossu left, I'm nearly out of Jaloviina and my attempts at making leipajuusto have all been failures so far...

I've been together with my Finnish girlfriend for almost two years and this all definitely rang true!

[@accordionchick]

I had to learn Finnish in order to know what my Finnish mother in law was saying about me. She respects me now and dare not speak in front of me because I know what she is saying!!!!!!!!😮😮😁😁😁😁😁

[@makipri]

Dave Cad Are you familiar yet with the term Moomin mug pregnancy/conception (muumimukiraskaus)? 😄 It’s an alternative for IVF.

[@Purtonen]

The subtitles can be turned off on the TV settings somewhere and even changed to swedish (our second language). I think if you go far enough east, then there will be additional russian subtitles available on some shows. But don't quote me on that.

Jag älskar din kanal. Den gör så att jag känner mig stolt över att vara finne. Greetings from Pietarsaari!

[@suvi1983]

Your pronunciation is really good. I'm impressed.

[@RebelSkullCandy]

Have you seen Ismo Leikola's bit about the most important Finnish word? :D

[@mrj.kottari8453]

No Nii & Oh-Hoh are like twins, same intonation 🧡

[@makipri]

It’s a little charming you like it so much over here. I never felt patriotic and could imagine living as well in another country but just never got the inspiration to move. Actually some Finnswedes don’t talk Finnish at all or are very reluctant to do. Even some living in Helsinki or really close, within dozens of kilometres. And yeah subtitles help learning other languages really much. On the other hand I learnt Spanish a lot from the overdubbed tv while staying there for a longer period. Oddly enough I’ve heard Dr. House speaking only Spanish! Btw you can turn off the subtitles on YLE channels.

[@kataelisabeth7105]

A friend of mine have lived in Malta for 5 years and she and her fiance are moving back to Finland... She said that she will never come back.. well it didn't go as planned. She wants their kids to be schooled in Finnland. 😂

[@sernielyn5249]

Love ur video..thanks for sharing..im excited to go to Finland..

[@julianaFinn]

Showed this to my Australian-Italian hubby and it was like an awakening lol. He was doing ALL of that here in Australia without realising consciously why 😄😄. And I didn't realise he'd even adopted these unconsciously. I rubbed off on him I guess lol. Great vid 👌 👍
