WEIRD THINGS SWEDES DO #3

[@leahst6794]

We actually have a klämdag here in Germany as well, we call it Brückentag, literally bridge day! It was always the best when I was in school haha

[@luciedacosta4699]

Leah North In France too ! For us this is call "faire le pont" - " make a bridge" for have this day off ahahah

[@Paradize.]

"Or is it gonna hellfire" Haha :D That made me laugh more than it should :D

[@Esantia23]

I enjoy these videos so much. Each one makes me want to visit Sweden more and more.

[@BertGrink]

In Denmark we have something called "Tykmælk" (Thick Milk) which is milk that has been allowed to go sour and become thick, almost like jelly. We then eat it with crumbled slices of rye bread and some sugar on top.

[@VietnaMiss143]

New sub here from Philippines! Im enjoying binge watching your Sweden videos. You are naturally hilarious! I also love the Finnish vids cos I understand Finnish.😊💕

[@Nackagubben]

+Joy Alvaro Welcome to the Nackaklubben gang :D

[@unholyzoe]

The Scottish are very alike when it comes to the weather It's a conversation starter in anything Also greetings from Glasgow, Scotland!

[@upcyclucie]

We have the same thing in the Netherlands called DigiD (Digital identification). It’s so convenient!

[@ROSSVLOGSSTUFF]

The only one I hadn't heard of was VABBA, which sounds awesome. If you ever need someone to take care of, I can be your Vabba child!

[@moeoney]

R O S S V L O G S No u can't be VABBAD, u need to be under 12 years old. Sorry.

[@recipiesfordummies1522]

😹😹

[@alicesan3064]

The family is the most inportant thing here in Sweden sorry my bad English

[@andreabolivartroncoso902]

Fettisdagen sounds tempting! I really love this kind of videos, and your colorful shirts of course :)

[@pseydtonne]

Andrea Bolivar Troncoso It's the Catholic day of Mardi Gras. That's what we call it in the US at least. As I recall, Poland celebrates it with panshki.

[@andreabolivartroncoso902]

But I think is really different, how you celebrate mardi gras, and swedish people celebrate it.

[@agrobabb4943]

I love fettisdagar because you can eat semlor

[@reineh3477]

Fettisdagen is the last day before the lent so you eat as much fat stuff as you can.

[@evnikialezandria8545]

Hej! A bit late but glad I stumbled upon your videos; you're a very light-hearted person. Keep that spirit up, it brightens people's day. Anyway, I can now understand why 'everything drinks milk' in Sweden. Apparently it also extends to language apps, been using Duolingo to learn Swedish for about 2 months now and initially I thought it was just a way to teach how words are structured (e.g. björn dricker mjölk or Mannen och kvinnan dricker mjölk). But I guess Swedes do really like their milk. (Guess that's something relatable if I do intend to move there God-willing - because I love milk too) Have a nice day! Hejdå.

[@nicknikolayev2317]

Here in Chile we also do that... "Klämdag", exactly the same, but we call it Sandwich, obviously because that normal day between two free days is...the filling of the sandwich-well, you got it, don't you?xD Greetings

[@alva3298]

Can you make a "weird things swedes DONT do"?

[@alcyonae]

Yea Italy has Kla:mdag (can't do the umlaut on my keyboard) too, we call it a "bridge". It's so common

[@theaajo]

Meer sånt här, de är fett kul att se sånt som är helt normalt för oss men weird för andra!

[@paolazuffinetti]

You, Suedes, are Not weird, You are LOVELY!❤❤❤❤

[@solar0wind]

I'm German, but my farmor is half Swedish, and my paternal grandparents live in Sweden, so we eat lots of Swedish food when I'm there. Apart from filmjölk, at my grandparents' breakfast table there's also always långmjölk (I hope I spelt that correctly). She makes it herself, using a bit of bought långmjölk and lots of fresh milk. I didn't like it at first, but now I think it's actually kinda nice. What do you think about that?

[@Enleuk]

I grew up on a dairy farm in southern Sweden and my mother always made her own filmjölk. In northern Sweden they'd call this långfil, but I guess långmjölk also occurs. Basically you take some filmjölk, which has got bacteria in it, add fresh milk and the bacteria spread and the fresh milk becomes filmjölk too. These bacteria occur naturally in the milk, and I've been told that if you ran out of filmjölk back when most people were still farmers you could get some more from your neighbour, add fresh milk and get the cycle going again. Interestingly, there could be variations between farms because each bacteria culture is unique. The fil you buy in grocery stores tends to be thicker than my mother's filmjölk and I never really got used to that. I think runny filmjölk also works better with certain cereals, although just sprinkling over some cinnamon and sugar is pretty good too.

[@dirkrol3471]

In Peru we have lots of foods days!

[@kasperjoonatan6014]

Kallen mätitahna is very good

[@magnificent6668]

In the US it's either called, Shrove Tuesday = doughnut day! (or really anything fried in fat) or Mardi Gras = Fat Tuesday=anything fried in fat.

[@alohaaful8475]

In Turkey it's the same with your identity number (tc kimlik numarası ) you need it for almost anything

[@moonlily1]

I don't think Vabba sounds weird, except that the age starts at 8 mos. So if your 6 month old baby is ill, you can't stay home to take care of them?

[@selinapaulus8729]

One thing that I recognized is that swedes somehow have a special taste in their clothing style. I am from Germany and everytime I saw a swedish male until now, I recognized that they seem to really like fabrics with colorful patterns. Like your shirt in the video ;). One thing I saw very often are patterned and colores socks which you can see on their ancles. Do you think this is a swedish male styling thing?

[@SuperPapa29]

I just LOVE filmjölk. I am moving back to Sweden next year, just to eat filmjölk.

[@charmtabanao623]

Watching here from Philippines! now I'm enjoying your videos :) thank you!

[@vladraptor]

Kallen mätitahna (Kalles kaviar) looks good but by god it truly is an acquired taste. I used to eat fil with a thick layer of sugar and cinnamon on top of it. So good!

[@meridesiree7940]

You should try fil with lingonberry jam on it! It's an aquired taste but oh man is it good haha

[@dianacamisi]

What I find weird about Sweden is that people don’t eat from their own apple tree, instead they buy apples at the market. Can someone explain why?

[@natalievaldez9829]

Klämdag is perfect if it's on a Sunday so we can have Monday off only if we had that holiday here in the states hahaha

[@Nackagubben]

+Natalie Valdez It's not a holiday :) It's the weekday that happens to be between to red days. For example if Christmas Eve was on a Tuesday, then Monday would become a Klämdag and people wouldn't go to work :D

[@natalievaldez9829]

So it's not a holiday, I'll have to remember that. I'm on a roll of getting things wrong lol

[@Nackagubben]

+Natalie Valdez No! I see how it can be confusing :D

[@iamthemayqueen558]

Just found your videos! I love them!

[@ana-mariastiolica4246]

I love the pink background 💚💜❤💙💛💕

[@Ppurk]

no bad weather, only bad clothing.

[@kasperjoonatan6014]

Vabba is not weird, it's great

[@DaNiTa1023]

I'm Colombian and the Swedish caviar is....HEAVEN!! I'm crazy about it!! yummy!

[@veronicae2291]

Landet lagom är aldrig lagom

[@susankrueger3043]

Greetings from the land of Arkansas. I have about 15 precent Scandinavian. I also do alot of those strange things. I must be part Swedish.

[@beeweell2177]

Where do Sweds vacation?

[@Nackagubben]

+Beeweell Everywhere! Mostly where it's warm, like Thailand, Mallorca or Gran Canaria

[@kasperjoonatan6014]

weird Swedish: fil = viili and fil = viila. (file in English, which is also weird because, a tool and a data storage you know..)

[@saraimaldana6630]

Your videos are so funny. I like the a lot :)

[@lolaschmiggins3411]

Love the shirt! Love the cinnamon bun day and the waffle day....most of our holidays here in the US also revolve around food....Christmas.....lots of food....Easter....lots of food....Thanksgiving...roast turkey and lots of food.....Halloween...tons of candy.......4th of July ...hot dogs...hamburgers....potato salad and corn on the cob.....birthdays....cake and ice cream ........the other holidays ...lots of liquor!

[@jijadelmais]

For me the "annandag" after some celebrations, just blew my mind! The first time I heard about it...i was like whaaaaat? the whole thing is over and you want to continue officially celebrating...hahaha, its a cool swedish thing.

[@liwancreatives]

I once missed to greet a friend on his birthday but I sent him a message the other day saying "Happy annandags birthday." hahaha although I don't think annandag can really be used with birthdays.

[@LoveResidentEvil4]

can you do more LIVE STREAMS, your last one was awesome!

[@Nackagubben]

+LoveResidentEvil4 Love to hear that! I will most definately stream more :)

[@alcyonae]

Uhh. I know 7 languages. I'm trying now to learn Swedish now, but the pronunciation is impossible. And beautiful. But it's probably the hardest I've had to learn so far.

[@OliverPerssonMusik]

Id reccomend to look up Swedish Pitch accent tutorials :)

[@susanna.]

I'd recommend norwegian

[@giuliom3564]

Swedish is not among the most difficult of Europe, But maybe even among the easiest

[@belstar1128]

I never learned swedish but it can't be as hard as russian i want to learn swedish in the future but im turned off by the self hate culture and low population so im not sure if i can even learn it its like trying to learn Hawaiian or some Eskimo language.

[@matildaengel5952]

Shit, visste inte att man bara använde sitt personnummer till allt i Sverige😲 Aja tack för informationen😂👍🏻

[@tammyblack2747]

Norwegians like that tube of caviar too. And open-faced sandwiches.

[@TLlama]

Good video Btw I’m seeing this at the day we swedes call ”Tomatsåsens dag” Not many people know about it, but it exist CX

[@fabi0681]

The food celebration days really sound kinda weird. Like, "cinnamon buns day, omg, why other countries never taught about that" lol 😂😂😂 Btw, did you search for the anime Hetalia on Google? Would like to know the opinion of a real swede about the stereotypes of Scandinavian countries showed on this anime 😁

[@jennieh519]

You can vabba for children between 12 to 16 years old too if you have a doctors certificate that proves that the child needs an adult nearby. If the child is too sick to stay at home by themselves. You can also vabba for other peoples children. Your friends, neighbours or even the postmans children! Weird?

[@rogozdanutrazvan8763]

Hej! :) jag har nyss upptäckt din kanal och jag vill säga att du gör ett bra arbete men skulle du kunna komma med flera videor där du uttalar dig på ditt morsmål ? Det är självklart bara ett förslag ;) Fortsätt på samma sätt, du är grym :)

[@nyoom7495]

"Fish rum"

[@sandydandy9255]

We should have a pancakeday Pannkaksdagen

[@reineh3477]

Waffle day, våffeldagen comes from vårfrudagen (spring maid day). It was the day virgin Mary got pregnant. I think it was that many people was too lazy to say "vår fru" so they said "våffel"

[@estherwilson5771]

när man fyller 13 och ens föräldrar hatar en för att dom inte kan vabba när man blir sjuk XD

[@maltemoller07]

Lucia

[@ayatkazi6350]

🙂🙂🙂

[@victorpeterson3502]

Another weird thing we do is make racist jokes about other countries called "Bellman jokes" idk how the jokes was invented in the first place Maybe some random drunk dude told some other random dude about him about his thoughts

[@meridesiree7940]

I wouldn't call Bellman jokes racist, but maybe i've just heard mild ones lmao

[@reineh3477]

I don't know if Bellman jokes are racist. It is always Bellman (the swede) who lose or are the worst

[@grumpysketch5607]

When I eat filmjök I pour so much sugar on it that I can't taste the filmjölk anymore ;D

[@heddaaxelsson3151]

Why is this so relateble?

[@tristanprice7236]

Mardi Gras... or Greasy Tuesday!. Fantastic idea to let parents take time off with a sick kid. UK is REALLY bad for this. But we talk about the weather non-stop too, and it's always a complaint.... Oh it's too cold/wet/hot/snowy/windy* *Delete as appropriate.

[@mrRavvy]

WHat the actual f do you mean you are obbsesded with the We have more then a million words for rain.

[@erichani1]

Not if your lactose intolerant

[@shielacagata7509]

hi nice video do you have instagram?

[@Nackagubben]

Yes! You can find me @nackagubben

[@tildejohannesson1405]

Jag visste inte att filmjölk inte fanns i andra länder

[@derfranz5770]

TILDE Hi, I'm from Germany and lived in the UK for a few years and now live in Sweden and I can tell you: all the dairy products are different in every country! Buttermilk in the UK is very different from Buttermilk in Germany, but not existent in Sweden. Fil, joghurt, kvarg (Quark), cream, double cream, clotted cream, sourcream, saure Sahne, Schmand, aaallll different depending on the country.

[@EmanuelFrisk]

nej vi gör inte alls det här wtfff

[@sjmcoarch]

Believe me these are cool stuff. Not Weird at all! Tnx for wonderful videos though.

[@agrobabb4943]

Var är dina ögonbryn? Where is your eye brows?

[@moonlily1]

I don't think vabba is weird...I think it's weird that other places would make you work when your child is ill.

[@Princessusch]

Sweden sounds exactly like Finland according to this.

[@saftobulle]

Well all nordic countries are basically the same, we just like exaggerating the differences...

[@timofew]

Fun fact: det var en kung som åt ihjäl sig på semlor...

[@HaileyM27]

Waffle day sounds amazing 😂😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

[@milleman9391]

It is. Trust me.

[@elinericsson5653]

Haha visste inte att filmjölk va en svensk grej

[@Nackagubben]

+Ericsson Inte enbart, men väldigt svenskt :)

[@nyoom7495]

Finns även i Ryssland (kefir)

[@victorpeterson3502]

Heh klämdag

[@perlagergren1589]

Min mamma var född våffeldagen

[@perlagergren1589]

Hon gillar inte våfflor

[@suevialania]

🇵🇹👍🏻

[@ladylena1918]

I'm not seeing anything weird here. Just common sense
