[@Beepsheep252]

@@guruchintanan5686 I'd say the most important thing in learning any language is to be patient and interested in the language. We like to joke about how difficult the finnish language is, but it's not actually harder than any other language, because all languages have their own difficulties. What you might find annoying about finnish is that you'll at first be taught the official, written version of Finnish that almost no Finnish person uses to speak (and there are also many different dialects in Finland so how different people talk can vary drastically). But don't panic, you'll learn with time if you persist.

[@Ignatius1972]

@@JessicaMiller-pc4dj do you mean standard American English? Quite common, coz almost the entire world is constantly exposed to it. More or less the same with the British RP. But things change dramatically with regional accents. For me, cockney hardly can be considered as an accent of English language. Sometimes sounds like Chinese or javanese or else. Northern English accents seem as someone is just gibberishing all the time. Same for Scottish (with the addiction of lots of strongs "Rs".) Sometimes, I'm afraid if brits (non RPs) are really speaking a very different kind of English or if they are conjuring some terrible spelling in a certain demonic language. I feel much more comfortable with American regional accents, in general (with the exception of the Boston area). Canadians sound like typical Americans, but with some exotic pronunciation (house, mouse, about, etc). It's not usual to be in a hard time with English spoke by aussies, Jamaicans, kiwis and Indians, but, in general, you just identify that they simply are people who come from these countries, speaking with their strong but recognisable accent. No problems, because it's different, but still English. My issue, and the problem with lots of non-born English speaking people is really about the UK regional accents. Most part of the time, those accents and dialects sound like a mixture of several languages, with one or another English word. It seems a pidgin or something like that. Very strange.

Indeed, it's the Copenhagen accent though which is also the one Swedes always joke about when they mock our language. It's clear that most of them have only ever been to Copenhagen, which is understandable I suppose. I guess most people visiting France also just visit Paris etc. You can immediately identify the Copenhagen accent if you're from another part of Denmark as well. The Swedes always use the excessive use of 'soft D' from Copenhagen a lot when they make fun of the Danish language for example. It's true enough but it just doesn't go for other parts of the country. The word "meget" (a lot/very) is basically pronounced like "Maard" (soft D) in Copenhagen which it isn't elsewhere for example. You don't get people in Southern Jutland, the west coast etc. saying "maard" so the stereotype doesn't really go for them. They still have both an accent and a dialect of course but it's not at all like the Copenhagen one, not even close. :) There's something about his Danglish accent that screams Copenhagen to me but I'm not really sure what it is. Maybe it's the "rhythm" or something, but you wouldn't get that kind of sound in Aalborg, Aarhus, Esbjerg, Odense or whatever. It's very clearly Copenhagen-English.

Finland is actually not a Scandinavian country, but we are a Nordic country. Scandinavian countries are usually considered to be the countries with North-Germanic (viking) heritage, which Finland has nothing at all to do with apart from Finnoswedes (a minority of bilingual Finns some of which might have germanic heritage) It's a common misconception :)

[@Stellar-Enigma]

+DataGuzzler - I am very much aware of that. It's not that simple though, Finns are genetically completely separate from other Europeans, but it's true that on the west side there is more Germanic heritage because a lot of Finnoswedes live there. In the East the genes are just purely Finnish, and no one knows for sure where Finns came from. We are not Mongolians however, despite some people thinking so.

[@Stellar-Enigma]

+DataGuzzler - So you're basically saying what I just said before you - Finnoswedes sometimes have Germanic heritage as you pointed out :) I'm a Finnoswede myself.

A comment from Australia. So funny. The accents of Nordic people speaking English are melodic and distinctive. Enjoyed this video.

This video made my day because I'm a Czech that started to learn Norwegian a year and a half ago and I understood his Icelandic Danish. :D

[@VelkanAngels]

I'm Danish and while I did understand what he said (if I remember correctly cause I'm too lazy to re-watch the video, he said "undskyld, hvor er Rådhuspladsen?"), it sounded a lot more like Norweigan or Swedish to me than Danish, mainly cause he pronounced all the D's as hard D's xP.

I am learning Czech, as well as Danish

Swedish: Easy mode Norwegian: Normal mode Danish: Hard mode Icelandic: Extreme mode Finnish: God mode

[@IGTKYIYKSM]

Swedish, Norweigan, Danish and even Icelandic is about the same hardness. The languages are so similar. Finnish is another story tho

Two Finns go to a bar. They get their drink and sit down. After 10 minutes one says to the other 'Nice bar isn't it'. 30 minutes later the other replies.. 'Did we come here to drink or just talk'?

[@mikehooper8868]

The other one replied ''yeah can you pull it out of my bumhole now''

Here's the original text: To svenskere sidder i en hytte og drikker, på et tidspunkt siger den ene: 'skål', hvortil den anden svarer: 'Fan, skal vi drycka eller prata skit'?

"PAY THE MONEY BY WEDNESDAY!" :D hahah...

[@NellasxElensar]

Lmao I can imagine it might easily sound like that to non-natives but I can confirm it really does mean _I love you_ 😄😂

[@torstenscholz6243]

Pay the money by Wednesday or you're Finnish-ed.

I'm from England and I've been to Demark and Sweden. I've got to say that the people I met in both countries were very polite and welcoming and their English was impeccable.

I'm Italian and I'm singing Saatana perkele vittu makarainen all day long. They just seem the right words.

[@rafangirl1]

I've watched this video dozens of times and it cracks me up every time, especially the bit about Finnish being badass. Truth.
