American Reacts to Finland - What NOT to Do in Finland
Hey guys here is a link for a playlist I’ve created on CZcams, just so you can add whatever video related to Finland that you wish for me to react to.
Videos shouldn’t be movie length and all videos should have some form of relation to Finland. Thank you
czcams.com/play/PLxydi3Q04kF-ehjMxJGujSRfR2YgWUPRx.html&jct=Ei_nUcuBgBBEbofM2q9U0lT7hQtcgg
how do i add videos?
ah nevermind i got it
Russians bombed us,raped our women and took our lands... It's not crazy..
You should try Finnish foods called "Karjalanpiirakka", "mämmi" and "maksalaatikko". It would be interesting to see an American try these traditional Finnish foods :D
@@urlv. and karjalan paisti or poronkäristys
It's fun when you drive from south to north, you literally can see how the trees and nature clearly change 😁
Wild
Totally different world.
first the lakes then the flat terrain and then short trees and raindeer
nazis burned most of norhern Finland in 1944-1945, that's why there are no old buildings there
That actually makes sense
I didn’t even payed attention to that
And ofc south Finland, the coast, was more habited before (still is)
Germans burned the town of Rovaniemi, because they were under attack after the finns went back on their word in allowing them a safe retreat from Lapland. Most of Northern Finland was living in extreme rural conditions in 1945.
Lapland hasn't had the big cities but also: Lapland was burned by Germany after Continuation War. It is called War of Lapland for a reason. So it is all built after 1945, whereas my town, middle of Finland was established in the 1600s and we still have entire neighborhoods that have buildings from that era to 1800s.
North and South of Finland Look TOTALLY DIFFERENT...! Visit South too,or you don't really know what Finland is.. Check out Pictures of "Hämeenlinna."
ITs not that finns get mad when you do things wrong, we just respect it when you do it right. thats what everyone should aspire to in a foreign country.
Yes, I think Finnish are very tolerable for mistakes, especially done by the foreigners. For example nobody expects to know our language especially to pronounce it right. But the road rage is real, if you break the rules and I have experienced it often by not paying attention. Even parking rage is real where I live.
Yes, Suomi is Finnish AND Finland. In our language you can use suomi for both meanings. It is the same with other country names too for example Ruotsi is Swedish and Sweden. And yes, Finland is very long country so the southern part is looking different, specially the coast. More European vibes.
Actually you mean language? Suomi is Finland and suomi is finnish. Kieli ja maa eri asia.
Yes, the country is Suomi, language is suomi. Notice the difference in first letter... 😉❤
@@KristinaWes except in English the language is also spelled with capital letter!
@@gozamite , yes: I know how it's spelled in Finnish AND how it's spelled in English! - But Aallonkareet didn't, obviously...😂
I doubt most Finns would get annoyed, if you pronounce sauna wrong. It's not that big deal! 😜
We don’t really get mad about it idk why he said that
Yeah we do not mind, I can't see why anyone would get mad about such thing
But when you get it right 😉
Sure if they say it like suana, I atleast might try to correct them to say it like sauna but I would not get angry about it...
Ok bro im com8ng after yo ass if you pronuonce SAUNA
You should visit Porvoo, where I live. It's the second oldest city in Finland and you can see buildings from the swedish era and on the other side of the road you can see buildings from the russian era, on the other side of the river you can see modern buildings from the finnish era :D There's so much history here. There used to be a castle here, which is the reason Porvoo is named the way it is (Borgå in swedish, Borg = castle/fortress, å= river, so literally castle river). Alexander I, the Czar of Russia, visited Porvoo in 1809 to sign the Diet that allowed Finland to be an autonomous duchy. Our national poet Johan Ludvig Runeberg, who wrote the lyrics to our national anthem, lived here and his house is now a museum. The best part is that it's only 30 minutes from Helsinki by bus so we get loads of tourists in the summer.
Kato löyty porvoolainen
You definitely need to check out Helsinki and Turku. You'll see a tourist can spend good time there without experiencing that much nature if they don't want to. It's a relatively quick trip from Helsinki from Turku using a high speed train, and then the only nature is through the train windows. There are lots of urban activities over there, including good museums if you have a refined taste.
10:20 yes, that's in Helsinki near the west harbour. It's called the bad boy
I love salmiakki, empty the whole box in a split sekund 😀 hi from Odense 🇩🇰
Woah
That is the proper way to enjoy em, double so if outsiders are looking to get some good reactions out of em.
Salmiakki is more addictive than heroin.
At 10:22, you see the "Pissapoika" (Peeing boy) statue in Helsinki, Jätkäsaari 😂 It's just next to the Länsisatama ferry terminal from where you can take ferries to Tallinn in Estonia and previously also to St. Petersburg.
Pissapoika is also a colloquial word for a windscreen washer ;)
Hi Gio!
I try to answer couple of your questions and give some comments:
1) The language thing.. yes, finnish is an english word.
In swedish Finland is Finland and the people (folk) and language (språk) are 'finska'.
Many towns have both finnish and swedish names in many areas.
Some places only have a swedish or a finnish name.
In old city's like Helsinki and Turku, every street has a name in both languages -finnish on top, swedish under- and in some towns its the other way around depending on the % of people speaking either language within the municipality.
So, you can tell the language dominance of an area just by looking at the street signs.
2) That is a statue called The Bad Bad Boy sculptured by Tommi Toija. It's in Helsinki, Jätkäsaari, Tyynenmerenaukio.
3) The moose traffic signs. Triangle with yellow and red. Similar to the reindeer signs you must have seen everywhere in lapland. The animal is just waaaaay more bigger. Some tourists used to steal them because they are cool(?) and they don't have similar signs in their country. :D
4) Not too many bugs in towns, nothing like in Lapland. At summertime you can actually sit outside for hours without being sucked dry, even after sunset.
5) Finnish design is world famous. There is urban culture, fashion, architecture, opera, design museums, contemporary arts and festivals all over the place, a little less in Sodankylä thou. ;-)
You should def take a little tour next summer. You could get a bicycle (or a car if u get rich) or an Interrail train ticket or do town hopping by bus +take a small tent or couch surf thru the country. I'm sure you'll get plenty of tips where to go!
That would be an adventure to follow!
First tip: you can get free entry to many festivals by volunteering (work and get paid by food & free entry).
Hyvää Joulua Helsingistä!
Adding to part 5: There's that Sodankylä Film Festival ,known abroad as Midnight Sun Film Festival .
the pain in your voice and face when he mentions to call sauna sauna is really funny. the more i watch you content the more i start to rally like you (not that i didn't like at first). i really like how respectful and funny u are. keep it up man u doing great work
Germans burned Lapland down when they retrerated at the end of WW2. That´s one of the reasons why souther Finland looks so different and much older.
Hope you have a merry christmas here in Finland. 👍
Thank
I hope you have a Merry Christmas likewise
You want to visit Helsinki during the summer time. There's a lot of cool things you can do then, e.g. communal free Sompasauna, fancy Allas sea pool, art museum Amos Rex which is underground, Teurastamo area for expensive food, Suomenlinna fortress (they have a submarine you can visit), and Tuomiokirkko (that white church) is pretty impressive as well ... and there are a lot of festivals.. There are events as well e.g. world largest computer competition Assembly or heavy metal festival Tuska. Porvoo old town is one hour bus drive away. Vankilamuseo (Jail museum) Hämeenlinna in Hämeenlinna is pretty cool. It's an old american style prison, just from TV movies, they kept as it is and you get to go inside prison cells etc. It's once in a life time experience.
Yes, the word suomi is finland/finnish in finnish. In swedish finland is finland and finnish is finska
Thanks for letting me know.
i usually say to my north american friends that lapland is like alaska. and southern finland is like rest of the europe. dont know if thats even close the truth but thats how i see it here when lived my whole life in lapland.
1:43 Oh but it does. For example the tree composition changes as you move north, the most common tree being aspen -> pine -> spruce -> birch.
😮
I just wanna tell you as a Finnish that the big statue is in Helsinki outside of a big building
"Don't be loud. Look, the Finns are quiet people. They're reserved people, it's also very quiet all the time."
*Finland winning Hockey championship enters the chatroom*
A really fun video! I'm so looking forward to possible traveling vlogs haha :D keep up the amazing work
Yes, I agree, Finland is expensive! Although not as much as Norway.
10:25 yes it is! it's in Helsinki in front of the Verkkokauppacom shop!
The days when it one after another, rains snow, water, and hail, and then it's sunny again... It's actually so funny
If you know that the person you are going to visit, drinks coffee, the best way to make a friend is to bring them Juhlamokka.
Also, not all finns like salmiakki. Most of my family hates it, but then my 6year old daughter loves it.
Turku is a nice city. I recommend going there next summer.
Oh you got to visit Helsinki and Turku in the summer!
Love from Ilmajoki!
Glad you Like it here.
Tampere / Turku / Helsinki / Jyväskylä and Kuopio are going to a lot different to Sodankylä and to each others. Even language has alot of richness. Also people and culture are different. But some holy things are same all over.
At about 7:30, Not true. Finland was NOT controlled by Sweden. Finland was the eastern part of Sweden. There were no differences in the rights of those that lived in what is now Sweden and those that lived in what is now Finland.
10:35 Yes, that thing is in Finland, at Jätkäsaari, Helsinki, and it's called "Pissaava poika", literal translation is A boy that is Pissing
I think that you need to go to Turku in summertime. Town is nice town full of history and culture (and filled with quite reserved Åboriginals) but the real pearl of this area is archipelago. There is literally thousands of islands in archipelago (check map between Turku-Maarianhamina), our archipelago is quite unit in the world! You don't need boat if you want to see archipelago, there is route called saariston rengastie, you can use bicycle or car to travel throug it. Or you can use ferry to travel form Turku to lighthouse island Utö, for free.
"you watching this, me... we poor" I feel seen. I feel heard. Thank you.
I was in Finland for a few days, didn’t go into nature, but still loved it. And yes things are expensive, especially alcohol.
As for the visiting gift: It's not just for "If you're visiting from abroad" thing, but rather a polite thing to do when it's been a long-ish time since last visit.
Like, say, getting invited to a board-game night with friends you haven't seen for a few months. Bring something with you *for the host*.
One theory is that the name ‘Finland’ comes from the Old English word finna, a general term once used to describe people from Scandinavia. However, some historians believe its origins are actually Swedish, where the words finlonti and finlandi are believed to have been used as early as the 12th Century to describe the land that is now the south-western part of modern Finland.
Despite having being referred to by some variation of ‘Finland’ since medieval times, the Finns continue as they have for centuries, referring to their country, and themselves, as ‘Suomi’.
An other additional view:
In the 12th and 13th centuries, the term "Finland" mostly referred to the area around Åbo (Turku), a region that later became known as Finland Proper, while the other parts of the country were called Tavastia and Karelia, but which could also sometimes be collectively referred to as "Österland" (compare Norrland). (Medieval politics concerned tribes such as the Finns, the Tavastians and the Karelians more than geographical boundaries.)
In the 15th century, "Finland" became a common name for the whole land area to the east of the Bothnian Sea, possibly even including Åland, when the archipelago was seen as belonging to Åbo (Turku). What the term actually refers to can vary between sources, also the boundaries to the east and the north were not exact. A sort of establishment for Finland as a unity, if only in name, came when John III of Sweden called his duchy as the "grand duchy of Finland" (about 1580), as a strategy to meet the claims of the Russian tsar. The term became part of the title of the King of Sweden but had little practical meaning. The Finnish land area had the same standing as the area to the west of the Bothnian Sea and the Finnish part of the realm had the same representation in the parliament as the western part had. In 1637, Queen Christina named Per Brahe the Younger as Governor General of Finland, Åland, and Ostrobothnia (other parts of Sweden had also had governor generals).
I think there's also a Roman text somewhere (like from around/before Caesar's time, I think), where they referred to a group of people called "Fenni", that lived in the far north, at the edge of the world, where the sun doesn't set.
The rabbit hole goes ever deeper, and we're not even sure if it's the correct way to go. =D
@@Ichigoeki
Wikipedia has an article of which here an excerpt:
"The Fenni are first mentioned by Cornelius Tacitus in Germania in 98 A.D. Their location is uncertain, due to the vagueness of Tacitus' account: "they (Venedi) overrun in their predatory excursions all the woody and mountainous tracts between the Peucini and the Fenni". The Greco-Roman geographer Ptolemy, who produced his Geographia in ca. 150 AD, mentions a people called the Phinnoi (Φιννοι), generally believed to be synonymous with the Fenni. He locates them in two different areas: a northern group in northern Scandia (Scandinavia), then believed to be an island; and a southern group, apparently dwelling to the East of the upper Vistula river (SE Poland). It remains unclear what was the relationship between the two groups.
The next ancient mention of the Fenni/Finni is in the Getica of 6th-century chronicler Jordanes. In his description of the island of Scandza (Scandinavia), he mentions three groups with names similar to Ptolemy's Phinnoi, the Screrefennae, Finnaithae and mitissimi Finni ("softest Finns"). The Screrefennae are believed to mean the "skiing Finns" and are generally identified with Ptolemy's northern Phinnoi and today's Finns. The Finnaithae have been identified with the Finnveden of southern Sweden. It is unclear who the mitissimi Finni were."
It comes from roman Fennii
@@mustanaamiotto3812
It has also been suggested that it would have actually been a general name for all groups of people living on hunting and fishing, who lived in a huge area in Northern and Northeastern Europe.
You don't need bug spray in Helsinki 🤷
The more I hear about Finland the more I want to visit.
You really should visit Sweden too. You can just go there, no border checks. Not too long a drive from Sodankylä - about 100 miles.
I was literally a lake away from Sweden few months ago
@@GIOBOZZ If you need tto visit some bigger stores for shopping i would advice to travel all the way southwest at Tornio and over the bridge/border to Haaparanta. There is Ikea if you need some furniture and cheap household goods. Also other cheap shops like ÖoB & Rusta. Big ass candyshop Candy World. If i travel there, i also visit Nuuskakairantukku that sells cheap lemonades like Coke, DrPepper, Fanta and swedish brands of course. And if you like to taste something of those swedish lemonades i recomend Kalle Sprät (kiwi flavor) and Trocadero (apple & orande mixed together).
How can he say that salmiakki is horrible? 😒
You can travel to Turku/Helsinki by train in may and see how you getting closer and closer to spring while you travel.
can't wait to see your video from visiting Helsinki during summer!! I think you will like it here, welcome! :)
That "statue". Yes , it's in Helsinki. Name is Pissin man or something like that.
Thanks mate! That is why I "said" a while ago, that you got some serious "nuts", to move where you are currently living! North and South of Finland have almost nothing in common. Also East and West! Beware of the "Savo-People" cause you will never know if they are telling you the truth or not, usually not, so the "responsibility" is totally on you😁😁😍😍
Very nice video again Gio. Thank you. You were pretty Finnish already, before you came here, now you are Suomalainen and Lappalainen. I like Wolters World viewpoint of Finland and attitude. And you are right - he speaks nicely finnish.
Man.. you really should go to Turku-Tampere-Helsinki trip. Your are talking bug spray and nature, reindeers, slow rhytm and empty streets - I never expereince those, you know more than me about North.
Thing about Turku/Åbo and "Finska" business - look how close Stockholm is to Turku. Influence has been and is huge, even though not everyone realize that.
Yes, Turku is Åbo, and every District with-in Turku has a Swedish name, which are shown on the busses, alternating with the Finnish names. Also, streets have both names.
I mean finland is expensive but in the other hand you haven't been here before all the crazy shit in europe started which kind of sky rocketed the price of gas and food here, so yeah it's always a expensive country to live in but these prices weren't the norm not that long ago.
Inflation started to rise soon after you came to Finland, so it's not all comparible to America in year ago. Im guessing lot of things are more expensive now in America too.
Can you visit jyväskylä? I live in Jyväskylä and its one of the best citys to live in Finland. And in South Finland there is a lot of beautiful buildings.
I recommend that you wait until May or June before you visit cities in the south because you'll enjoy them more then.
I would say don't tell people not to eat salty liqourice, you can warn them about it but don't tell them not to try. It is such a finnish thing to eat it. Also I would not care how you pronounce sauna especially if you are speaking english. What bothers me is when people say Fin- land it's Finland 😅.
The person in the video was originally in Finland as a student, right? Students get quite a lot of different discounts that make life cheaper for them. Subsidized meals, cheaper transit, etc.
Yeah, but he's an adult now, isn't he..? 😉😆
@@KristinaWes First impressions matter 😂
I took salmiakki to Texas to have my US coilleagues to taste it. One of the team said "You must hate them kids" LOL
There's saying in the north that moskitos will come on midsummer fest even if they need a crutch. There's no moskitos before that after winter.
Thanks .👍
Yeah you should visit porvoo, turku and tampere atleast. all of those are historically significant and great as a "tourist". would be kinda cool to do a meet and greet in tampere aswell :D
They are great suggestions and even worth checking out Pori and Rauma.
Finland is best country in the hole world 🥰🇫🇮
10:29 yeah thats right next to a store called verkkokauppa in helsinki
my SO was born in Sweden, then at 5 years old moved to Norway where her dad is from. she is quite shy talking Finnish even tho she is really fluent. but always when we talk about places i tell the Swedish name of it since she knows it so much better. if I mean lauttasaari is say drumsö, if I mean kalasatama i say fiskehamnen etc. ofc it is quite easy for me since I opted for Swedish classes 3rd grade in elementary. it was quite good choice since that sometimes i don't even recognize if she continues the conversation in swedish or norwegian :D
The "piss boy" sculpture is in front of Verkkokauppa headquarters in Helsinki harbor.
😦😨
😦😨
Kouvola is the place to be! It's like being in Pripyat without having to worry about radiation sickness! 😂Ya gotta come visit here some day.
But on more serious note, here's a lot of old Russian stuff. For example the campus where I studied my Bachelor's degree is a Garrison fort built 1910 which was still partially active as there's Officer's clubs and stuff like that. While studying it was fairly normal to go to lunch and have some random generals on the lunch line or see how military copters landed on the campus square carrying different officers to the visit the club. Last year Vekaranjärvi garrison was dismantled and moved to the campus, so it's even more active on that side.
Also, it wasn't too out of norm to see random military vans pulling off full of conscripts with assault rifles. We always went to annoy them by asking how many days they have left lol
We don't use the 1 and 2 cent coins because it's just a waste of metal. When we had the Finnish mark, the ten penny coin was treated as essentially worthless. When we switched to Euro, the option to adopt two new coins worth even less was ruled out. They should be acceptable currency though, so you can pay for things with them.
Before 1995 we always lost against sweden in hockey. We could lead 5-1 half way into the third period and Finland would loose 5-6. No joke before 1995 finns did not have the nerve to complete and win a hockey match against sweden.
The big difference in 1995 that changed all this and changed the Finnish confidence and attitude for ever was that this year we had a Swedish coach who taught the finns to play as a team just like sweden been doing. And we got our first gold. It was a swede who made finnish hockey able to beat sweden. Never happened before in any match where it counted.
I live in Mikkeli, eastern-Finland. People do NOT speak swedish here, and the culture is a bit different.
About the bringing gifts when visiting a friend. Usually I bring gifts if I go to a sleepover (since those are kinda rare for me) or if you haven't seen the person/people your visiting for a long time. It just shows that you appreciate them, in my honest Finnish opinion. Also yeah, don't say Sweden is better than Finland :)
10:30 lol the big peeing statue is in Finland. It's in Jätkäsaari, an area of Helsinki. I live here :) it's near the bunker and verkkokauppa. Somewhere around Jätkäsaari peruskoulu if I remember correctly, I've seen it before 👀
Kinda the same as here in Sweden :) But then again we have this love/hate relationship and especially when it comes to hockey! :D
6:46 usually when finns hear "finland is a part of scandinavia" they let out a long sigh and see if you know any basics with a question "do you know the difference between cultural differences?"
Salmiakki is life.◼️
We’re a very laid back people, we don’t care how you pronounce things, there’s a thing called rally-English which Finns are afraid of because we’re insecure, but it doesn’t mean a visitor or an expat has to should sound perfect. Being open and straightforward is more important, that’s Finnish.
only time when i might use bug spray is while i am working... i dont remember i ever used it in lakes or islands or so :D thought, the best way to get them away is smoking fire :D
It’s so true that we here at finland wear shorts when it only 13c˚ and all of the turists wear paddet jackets😂😂
Its like London, in finnish Lontoo, Stockholm, Tukholma. We havent been with Washington, which means: Cleaning weight.
Also don't go wander places outside cities where you can get lost, and especially in winter. I know there are people who wants to do that, but prepare for it properly before you go and buy map, because there might be no one close to your location who can save you. It rarely happens, but still there is chance to get lost.
"Finnish english" is actually referred to how finns use english to compensate some finnish words, but there is also "ralli englanti" "rally english", which refers to Mika Räikkönen's way of speech sounding finnish on dialect while speaking english.
We have to remember, that finnish language in general has a lot of influence from other languages, thus making finnish language quite prone for changes and twists. Very rarely for e.x. swedish has had changes in their language, except nowadays they have "neutral" refer on genderless person, hens - hens - hens instead of their usual han/hon - honom/henne - ...
So finnish language in general has influences from other languages. Only difference being that finnish keeps its general grammar and how things are said.
The reason Northren Finland looks so different is that it's a lot newer in terms of buildings and what not, a lot of the Southern cities are from the Swedish or Grand Duchy era and thus are closer to older European cities.
10:59 Moose sign is danger sign to warn people driving that in this part of the road there is danger to get to the car accident with moose. Be vary.
Dude, if you want the full Finnish experience, you should propably live a year in the south coast as well (but avoid Helsinki and it's suburbs at all costs, those are not Finland). The winter is all nice and bright in the north, but the southern darkness and the coastal cold is something completely different. North has the proper snowy winter wonderland, south is all dark and depressing
10:30 yes it's a statue in Helsinki i believe
sauna is thousands of years old finnish thing!
Rofl. That pissing statue was in Jätkäsaari Helsinki. Lived there back then. Not sure if it's there anymore (no, it's not a Finnish thing, just some lunatic new age "artist" doing "art")
I don't agree about bringing gifts
...here in Denmark, I always bring something fx: flowers, a cake, a bottle of wine, strawberries in the summer, whether I visit my daughter's homes, my girl/guy friends. I also expect them to bring something when they visit me...
When my grandchildren or my friends children have birthday parties, I bring presents for the child, of course
- but also have something for the moms, bc it's their day, too 😉
It's the polite thing to do, here!
💐🍓🍾🍪
hello from Denmark 🌸❄️
Northern Finland hasn't been very densly populated back in the days and during Lapland War many old buildings was lost. In northern part of the Finland, many buildings has been built after the WWII. Castles and old buildings are mostly in southern Finland. Also the vegetation is a bit different in north. These are two of the reasons why southern Finland might look like Europe to you and northern like mini version if America. Many richer people from different part of Europe during last centuries has been behind companies and architecture. Native Finns has been building their houses mainly from logs in old times. Life was often quite different in countryside compared living in cities like Helsinki, Turku, Viipuri (now behind Russian border) etc.
If you are visiting a friend, BRING YOUR OWN DRINKS !!!!
If you are really interested in Finnish history, I would suggest you watching Tuntematon sotilas ( Unknown soldier) 2017 version, there is nothing more Finnish than that. It is based on fictional book about Continuation War, but some characters are based on reality. I may be a little biased, but I honestly think that is one of the best war movies. 😎
Also listen Finlandia, no music means more than that to Finns. 😂😍😂
Worst version but still kinda keeps up the legend.
.. maybe this guy's salery is slightly bigger than the average guy's own.. but please don't you underestimate your own skills and richness as a person.. your richness is counted in values of kindness and humanity.. that makes you a person of huge value in life my friend..
The statue you saw in the video is this one:
fi.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_Bad_Boy
Before 1808 Finland was under Swedish rule so they do have 2,if not 3 official languages in Finland,i do think that perhaps Sapmi language also is spoken in the North???
well.. Suomi is country and that language is suomen kieli.. and those postpositions.. there are only 15 of them + / - some letters inside words.. and yep, most finns speak 2-4 languages (finnish, swedish, english and german, french, russian, spanish etc.) but first three are learned before 16yrs. and being expensive.. as we have free education (payed from taxes) there's easy way to learn high salary job.. 3,5-5k€/ month ain't outruled here (after 25-30% tax) by working 40h/ week
'Sauna' or 'soona' or whatever, who cares. As long everybody understands what is spoken about.
Many finnish towns have also swedish names: Turku=Åbo, Oulu=Uleåborg, Tampere=Tammerfors, Helsinki=Helsingfors; couple easy ones:Lappeenranta=Villmansstrand, Kokkola=Gamlakarleby etc.
its not impossible to learn Finnish language because my school teacher from usa moved to Finland and he can speak Finnish perfectly after 10 years
😮
Some Finlands don't use Bug spray at all
Finnish language is "finska" in Swedish, but the country is Finland, just like in English and many other languages. In Finnish, Suomi with capital S means the country, and with small s it is the language. In Finnish, country names are written with a capital letter and languages and nationality with a small letter. "Suomessa me suomalaiset puhumme suomea = In Finland, we Finns speak Finnish.". 🙂 And yes, Turku is Åbo in Swedish, Helsinki is Helsingfors and Tampere is Tammerfors.
Finland is also called Finland in Swedish, that's where the English word Finland comes from. In Finnish, Finland is Suomi and in Finnish is suomeksi. A Finnish person is called suomalainen. I hope this clarifies some of the confusion.
