👍🏻 Interview with Torakka 🇫🇮

I knew abt the war between Finland and Sovet Union but i did not know this specific name. I think it is now a very important place for ppl in Finland so you can remember the war and that Finland was still save.

Sorry but i have one more question abt the answers!! 😛 You said that finding a job is on your bucket list. If you could choose ANYTHING for a job: what would you choose? 👮‍♀️👩‍🎓👩‍🍳👩‍⚕️👩‍🌾

During 1939-1945 (WW2)

There was the winter war talvisota 30.11.1939-13.3.1940 Finland against soviet union basicly Finnish victory.

Then was the Continuation War jatkosota 25.6.1941-19.9.1944. yet again Finland against soviet union. Not a clear winner.

Then last was the Lapland war lapin sota 15.9.1944-27.4.1945 Finland against nazi germany (caused by the soviets) winner: Finland

Also If I could have any job ever i would be a historian.

Ive read once that Finland has a very high index of safisfaction regarding to society but the same time one of the highest suicide rates in the EU.
What is the reason for that discrepance?

All the sad people kill themselfs is a common explanation I hear.

But its most likely cause yes we do have good healthcare, freedom and good stuff like that. We also dont see the sun very often most of the year it never rises and that causes stuff like seasonal depression. We also have high alcohol consuption many people are alcoholics and heavily drinking is often started as a teenagers and then worsens as people become adults. And the mental health services are not that good from what I hear. Mental health is a subject that nobody here speaks about cause atleast everybody that i have spoken to about it (remember its a small town with grumpy people) either thinks its attention seeking or compleat lies. But definedly not something to talk about people keep all theyr problems to themselfs. So not the best environment for depression and all that.

Yeah, in reddit e.g. the complainments about the cold finnish society is very common. Especially foreigners are often shocked about the ignorance by finnish people but many people seems to misunderstand the finnish culture: When nothing important is to say, nothing important is to say. That might be something western european or western cultures in general have a problem.

On the other hand if introvert people don´t like to talk much or are happy to live in a calm environment where not everybody disturbs every 10 minutes Finland might be a good address.
I think your problem is at the moment: Too many (foreign) people like that and so Finland has an imigration problem.

Finns are often thougt to be very cold and non speaking well i have to say that mostly true and If somebody speaks loudly or at all in a buss for example they are gonna be recieving judging looks. But we just enjoy our own space and quiet you dont always need to talk. I am for example considerd really quiet even in Finnish standars.

Yea I agree with that but only on the countryside I have seen horror stories about Helsinki. And you can go undisturbed for days here. During three months I spoke to around 10 people half of them relatives while still going to places. And most of those conversations ware thanking when somebody opens the door for me.

Of yea thats the biggest problem that i hope goverment does something about. Dont wanna end up on the same situation as Sweden. And we are heading to that direction quickly stuff on the news is not nice to read.

I think Finland changed a lot after Nokia lost its world leading position. In Germany we are losing our automotive industry more and more. Compared to China we are: lost.
So I think we will lose our national identity, too in a while. Though we never had a real identity or typical culture apart from "Bavarian drinking beer" and always on time.
Still I think Finland is a very respectful country which is leading in many parts.

Thats true we dont really have such major companys anymore which is a shame those companys would be needed alot. But theres no point giving up prehaps a major company will soon rise. I sure hope national identies arent lost but If the immigration continues to go that way there will not be a single European national identity left. And every country has sometype of national identity some norms or belifs and stories that need to be preserved. Thank you very much germany is also very respected country and importnat on world politics. And If I get accepted into this one school I will start studying german cause its a importnat business language.

A few months ago there was a documentation about the happiness report, which won Finland again and it was presented by the finnish actress Meri Koivisto (she lives in Berlin). She can speak fluent german and to listen to her was just a dream - the finnish accent is so beautiful! And since Finns are considered to be very self-controlled and ambitious people, you can tell that someone is really trying hard.

Perhaps that is why Finns are so highly respected.

I was sure that Finland would have dropped in the rankings cause of the unemployement. Never actually heard of her but no suprise since most the movies are in German. Thank you for that.

Its likely.

Haluaisin tietää miten @Torakka suhtautuu

• ihmisiin joilla on kehitysvamma ja autismi
• koulujen kännykkäkieltoon

• Ei ne siihen mittään voi. Oon itseasias kavereit muutaman sellasen kans. Mut se on sitte eri asia jos ne aiheuttaa mulle jotain haittaa sitte mä oon avoimen vihamielinen. Eli ihan sama suhtautuminen ku muihin.

• Aivan pirun typerää. Ja mun koulus se on viel silleen et se viiään opehuoneeseen josta se pitää hakea koulun jälkeen ja sitte kolmannella kerralla vanhempi joutuu hakemaan sen koulupäivän aikana. Mikä on naurettavaa melkeen kaikkien vanhemmat on sillo töissä. Ja jos sitä ei haeta puhelin jää sinne. On olemassa parempiakin keinoja saada lapset pois puhelimilta.

Is bullying a big problem in finnish schools?

Is bullying a big problem in finnish schools?

I would say yeah but same time no. I havent met anybody who hasent been bullied at one point and If your diffrent you will get bullied at some stage. For example one girl at my school ( I hate her also but for diffrent reasons) she dresses goth and does these wierd face paints and shes sometype of rainbow not the smartest thing to tell everybody you are in a small town. She always get yelled at by other students and they say controversial stuff to get her to react and people think she is contamitated and that whatevers she has could also stick to them but its the worst when she isnt there one of many names I have heard her being called are trans, whore, blue whale, fat, freacking wierd, furry, mentally ill and her friend group is often called Suicide Squad. But all that is normal in my school. We dont nessesary consider it bullying and usually when refererring to someone there is a insult first like oh that fatty or that theetless fat or that faggot. For us that is normal it maybe shouldnt be but it is and also hitting and knocking people down is really common here. So its not that usual bullying you see on American shows (well Finland isnt on America) but its bullying of some extent.

Thank you the most Kerttu but also @QueenOfRaccoons and @TierM38 for making the interview nice and that you continue it. And sorry that some of the questions i did not ask and if im honest not even thought of it. I hope that all interviews are like that friends and others keep asking questions so ppl can read new things. That is very nice. 🙂 So kittos very much. 🙏🙏

Terve!

Terveppä terve!

Tervetuola 😃

By the way I have heard once that you can build extremely long words, almost like the greek record:

Lopadotemachoselachogaleokranioleipsanodrimhypotrimmatosilphiokarabomelitokatakechymenokichlepikossyphophattoperisteralektryonoptokephalliokinklopeleiolagoosiraiobaphetraganopterygon

The longest word ever used in german is:
Donaudampfschifffahrtselektrizitätenhauptbetriebswerkbauunterbeamtengesellschaft

Otherwise correct but the l and o are wrong way its Tervetuloa. But still amazing. 😃

ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧

Yea its possible in basic speech short words usually get long cause of the inflections and all that but the longest hypotetical word in Finnish is

Kumarreksituteskenteleen-tuvaisehkollaismaisekkuudellisennes-kenteluttelemattomammuuksissansakkaankopahan

Didn't fit whitout the lines but you get it
