i guess Im asking randomly but does anybody know of a trick to log back into an instagram account?? I stupidly lost my account password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me

[@vancejeremy7939]

@Quinton Calvin i really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and Im in the hacking process atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@vancejeremy7939]

@Quinton Calvin It worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thanks so much you saved my account !

[@therightfulromanemperor7727]

You have singlehandedly achieved every Finnish paradox player’s dream. Thank you

[@tuomastt]

Props for doing the Finnish names! Here's my ranking so far: 1. Metsänvartija - Perfect! 2. Olavinlinna - Pretty good, just keep the emphasis in the beginning! 3. Savo - very good, just keep the first vowel short. 4. Suomi - sounded more like SuAmi, the diftongs are hard! 5. Turku - vowel sounds were closer to Y than U 6. Kainuu - First one was excellent but the next one changed a lot 7. Pohjanmaa - was perfect otherwise, but the J missed hard 😂 Finnish J is pronounced like Y in English 10 extra points for Perkele and Tuonela!!

[@emrecanarduc4378]

is TURKU connected to Turks ?

[@tuomastt]

@@emrecanarduc4378 Nope, as far as we know, it's a very old loanword from Old East Slavic търгъ (tŭrgŭ), meaning a marketplace.

[@moisuomi]

@@tuomastt Really? Didn’t know that

Im glad you liked his pronunciations I always felt it very grating and was like this all sounds wrong.

Why props? Do you speak Finnish? His Finnish is horrible lmao.

[@AnubitProductions]

Alzabo, I'm one to rarely comment on anything on KZbin, but your always high-end content (and story telling), along with (at times) wonderful puns, are always a pleasure to watch. Thank you for yet another wonderful video!

[@thetouho1041]

As a Finn, I appreaciate your effort to try and pronounce the language, so many content creators just avoid even trying!

[@yuuboi661]

"Mielus the magnanimous threw a lavish feast for his subjects, though no-one attended, as is cultural tradition" As a Finnish person I can confirm I throw parties from time to time but no-one (sometimes not even myself) attends them.

[@chryssalidbait8765]

Which is the way it should be. I get to have all the beer to myself, and won't have to talk to people.

As a Swede I wholeheartedly and unironically enjoyed this fascinating documentary on the True Story of the Finnish Empire. EDIT: sorry, I meant "as a Western Finn", naturally =)

From someone who has no idea how they supposed to be pronounced, if sounded as if he was affecting an Italian accent every time aha xD

[@maximumzozzle4699]

Always happy to see more content of the fictional nation of Finland. Thanks Alzabo!

[@BrianJRichards]

I was listening to this in a background tab (Yes I'll go back and actually watch I was just excited that you posted) and all I could think of was "Dang! Finland sure sounds like Italy these days"

[@AlzaboHD]

lol I tried so hard to pronounce their words - the Finnish language is quite difficult!

[@BrianJRichards]

@@AlzaboHD I have nothing but respect my good sir! I would make a total hash of it if I tried, and this is why you make the videos and I watch :D

[@Eisenwulf666]

I m italian and it doesn't sound like Italian at all.. The vowels were short and closed which is the opposite of what happens in the Italian tongue(not counting regional dialects)

[@BrianJRichards]

@@Eisenwulf666 perhaps I should have said it sounded like ‘stereotypical American / Italian’ accent. Sorry about that misunderstanding.

[@tuomastt]

@@BrianJRichards I think it's mainly because Alzabo uses Italian sounding intonation for pronouncing the words :D

oh god I hope I pronounced your words correctly

[@Gokaes]

@@AlzaboHD suprisingly well you just stressed weird parts of the words sometimes

[@MKmarkka841]

@@AlzaboHD Better than what I have many other say, but no worries Finnish is a difficult language so it's understandable. Besides, it's funny to hear others trying to pronouns some of our harder words, for example: lentokonesuihkuturbiinimoottoriapumekaanikkoaliupseerioppilas

Great video! (Also fun fact: "Onni" means luck and "lempi" is kind of like love even though the word "rakkaus" is used more often. Onni and Lempi are still used as names but they aren't that common.)

[@Jig_up]

I’d love to see a kind of “religion tutorial!” Should you reform religions more than once? Should you switch to a religion with tenets closer to the ones you want, even if it means you would have to conquer far away holy sites to be the religious head, or should you risk reforming your religion twice, if it’s too expensive to do so in one lifetime, and thus keep your local holy sites from your original religion. Thank you for your time and consideration!

8:20 The Teräsbetoni Schism? What the actual ****? "The 'reinforced concrete' schism"? I wonder how historically accurate this game tries to be?

[@AlzaboHD]

Terasbetoni is a Finnish metal band from the early 2000s, its a pretty obscure reference. Thanks for watching!

[@CitySwimmah]

@@AlzaboHD Well yes as I finn I know, I was just wondering how it ended up to the game. I wonder how many other obscure references there are for some native speakers from different counties. I always considered the foreign words to stand for something around that age in paradox games, but apparently I was quite wrong. Thanks for another great video also!

[@amtep]

@@CitySwimmah You can name your own religion when creating a schism :) So the Teräsbetoni name was put in by AlzaboHD himself
