[@sarairina]

@@-Anjel I don't have an accent like that though. Some of us don't have a strong accent that wouldn't make it.

[@-Anjel]

@@sarairina Neither do I, too much British tv growing up, but most of us do. My flatmate, who's an exchange student, has difficulty telling Finns apart by just voice. Apparently the flat pronunciation causes everyone's voice to sound the same. A group of exchange students were visiting, and they were talking about how everyone has the same accent, and they don't know when something is a question, exclamation or just a statement. Everything is said with the same flat speech with the harsh letters that do not blend. Even though some might not have the stereotypical Finnish pronunciation, we do not emphasize in sentences as strongly or at all. If a Finn spoke Finnish like a native English speaker spoke English, they would sound like they weren't sincere or were mocking.

Oisky Poisky well he didn’t

[@oiskypoisky2674]

@@juliehansen2097 He said the non nordic answer once but then did get points for mentioning that it's american. So logically not crossing the street at a red light without cars should be worth 17% which is absolute bullshit cause it's not this special nordic thing at all. Compared to Americans this might be exotic or special but there are lots of other countries that are not nordic where people also do this. And these nordic-ness videos are just a silly thing and not worth actually discussing cause lets face it it's not that deep but I'm still annoyed about how little this is thought through.

[@suszifet]

Thin pancakes are the only pancakes we know basically in many European countries ,we don't consider them French at all

I'm not sure what they mean by a single or double duvet. Do they mean having two duvets or is a matter of thickness or what? In the US single and double are bed sizes so I'm confused.

[@osaniss]

Its when a couple shares a bed, americans usually have one big duvet that they share. Here in scandinavia, we have one normal sized duvet each

[@moonlily1]

@@osaniss Oh. Why? I like sharing one big duvet, because I like spooning and I like our skin to touch.

[@osaniss]

​@@moonlily1 Its just different in different countries, there is no golden standard. Could always just ask you the same, why do you have double duvets? :D While it sounds cozy, i prefer having my own duvet so i can roll around with it and "fold it" (i put it between my legs and hug it like a pillow) during the night. Also a double duvet would lead to the classic "stop pulling the duvet" haha :D So generally i think single duves are smarter. You can still spoon and have skin touching but you get to decide over the duvet :)

[@moonlily1]

@@osaniss I've never asked myself why there's only one duvet, it's never occurred to me that you might do it differently. But if you each have your own duvet, when you make the bed, which one goes on top? What about the blankets and flat sheet under the duvet, are they separate too?

[@osaniss]

@@moonlily1 Since its a double bed, they lie beside each other. We dont have two double/big duves each, just normal/single sized ones :) Eeh, we dont have blankets in our bedding here in scandinavia, we just have fluffy good quality duvets with duvet covers on. Flat sheet, i take it you mean the sheet you sleep on? Its double just like the bed so it covers the whole bed.

What’s the whole deal about the duvet?

[@Birtheish]

In Scandinavia people usually don't share a double-sized duvet, even if they are a couple and sleep in the same bed. Most people have two separate duvets but sleep in the same bed, and to me that's kind of like the best of both worlds, because you are close to your partner, but you can still sleep, and not have to fight over the same duvet.

[@giulianicola]

[@veronicavadmand3458]
