Saab also introduced and invented the use of turbochargers in cars too I believe. Prior to this they were only used on jets and were not affordable enough for use in cars.
the "78" fact is almost entirely wrong:
Firstly: The goat is built by a certain company, not the town since the 1970:s (also, there used to be 2 goats for a time, the second build by the local academy).
Secondly: In Sweden, we do NOT believe that Santa's sleigh is driven by goats, idk where this came from.
Thirdly: Burning the goat is not an activity "half the town does", but is illegal vandalism. It's true that is burns down a lot of time and there are bets every year about how many days it stays without being burned or if it survives, but the actual burning is illegal and people who are caught are fined.
The goat is a representative of "The yule goat" which has pagan roots going at least 800 back in time. The chistmas goat was celebrated from the 1700s by people walking from door to door performing and singing. Usually one member of the group would wear a goat mask, often made of hay. In exchange they received food, money or alcohol. Later in the 1800s it changed to where the goat would deliver presents, which predated Santa, and in the 1900, Santa replaced the goat entirely. We still celebrate Christmas traditionally by Santa (a family member in a costume) knocking on the front door and is invited inside, where he delivers his presents to the people one by one and then takes his leave. Santa always says "Are there any kind children here?" when he is invited inside.
Nowadays the Christmas goat is a very common decorative item during Christmas time, it may decorate the tree, be placed on the dinner table and is present in artwork everywhere.
comes from out history books, reindeer is american santa
Tbh, as someone that has grown up in gävle, the years the goat hasn't been burned just kinda impresses me, it has been burned down many more times then it has survived after all
@@nex244 Personal opinion but I think the burning is as traditional as not burning. We should just start burning it when christmas is over. 50/50 tradition.
Hello. About the ”Flogstaskriket” =the sreaming in Flogsta (a neighbourhood in the university city of Uppsala). It is true, Historically students of the University of Uppsala had tests on wednesdays and since student are students they studied on tuesday evening. A group of student descided to scream out their frustration and desperation though open windows. This became a funny student tradition and is still active on nigits before big tests.another funny student tradition is to keep the fictive student Elof Sundin alive. He doesn`t exist more than on paper but he has taken several masters at the university and still delivers papers and essayes.
Doesn't the latin word tentamen exist in english?
Yes, apart from that it isn't at all in Stockholm or any part or suburb of Stockholm, and that it Student area not a normal Residential area.
The Ericsson Globe Arena have changed name since that video. It's now known as "Avicii Arena", but is most commonly called "Globen".
26:50, sorry those are not deviled eggs. They are just hardboiled eggs with some kalles kaviar on them. You might think, ooh caviar faaancy. But no, it's just fishy roe usually served from a tube and very popular as a breakfast item. Think of it as a savoury fish spread.
The modern refrigerator was invented by Baltzar von Platen and the guy behind the computer mouse is called Håkan Lans.
Actually, temperatures reaching - double digits isn't something unusuall in Sweden. For example, in my town just outside of Stockholm, today, April the 2nd, the temperatures reached -11.
Maybe he meant double digits in Fahrenheit? Which world indeed be strange, since I think he said he's a Brit, and they use Celsius, right?
Okay, I'm confused…
Not to say Ikea meatballs are bad, but they aint as good as homemade ones.
Regarding the longest word in Swedish: Since Swedish is a language in which you can compound words into longer words, you can theoretically compound any number of words into one single word. So, Swedish (and several other Germanic languages, including German) can kind of cheat to compound a huge number of words into one. While they might technically not be listed in any dictionary, they can be grammatically correct words nonetheless. So basically, "realisationsvinstbeskattning" isn't the longest *possible* word, just the longest word listed in the Swedish dictionary.
Also, crayfish is just another word for crawfish. In Swedish we call them "kräftor" :)
If you talk to ANYONE over the age of like 40 in Sweden about candy crush, and tell them you are at level 100, they will look at you like a child. The amount of people i have met that are at like level 1000-60 000 if absolutely mental
Anyone but me, in that case. I'm Swedish, way over 40 and I never played Candy Crush. Ever. So level 0 for me.
@@johnnyrosenberg9522 same here
I was born in Denmark but moved to Sweden at 11 but wasnt until my early 20´s I realized that Happaranda was in fact in Sweden & not some exotic place on Cuba or similar which I always thought cause it sounds so exotic to me lol
I love to say, for example, a US citizen that you use a Swedish invention in your hands every day: the zipper. The wrench and so much more. Then I like your attitude man. You are always welcome to Sweden! 👍
I live in Kiruna. We're actually moving the entire town because of the mine (the ground is cracking up so the city centre would be swallowed if we didn’t), you should look into that. I don't have any video recommendations atm, so maybe someone could help me out with that. :)

I found one in English

This! :)

Crayfish=Crawfish And the big ones were Lobsters...
14. I'd just like to point out that that was the governments decition.
There was a lot of railway sabotage from the northerners who live there, the people who built the railways in the first place. It's never talked about.
#97 When shifting from left to right lane driving, many anticipated more accidents initially, but in reality the number of accidents dropped significantly.
"Tungsten" is a Swedish word, but in Swedish it's called "Wolfram".
I've heard the Flogsta screams many times. Since this is a student thing it's more intense during weekends and the beginning of a school year.
Fun fact, Skatt .. The word for taxes has a bigger meaning wish is treasure. It's called Skatt (Treasure) Becasue it goes to the Treasury. That's why it has two meanings. it just ended up being called Skatt (treasure) because of that.
It's like this. (The pirate's treasure.) Would translate to (Piraten's Skatt.)
About speed cameras. You do not speak to an officer but get the bill in the post since they have a picture of you, the car and the numberplate. And yes, to thing is calculated for bill. The speed and your paycheck
Im from Haparanda! I was very surprised that he would mention my hometown because no one never does :D Btw Ikea basically saved our town when they opened it. I owe Ingvar many thanks
In actuality swedish words can get endlessly long, since we add them together. same as german. For example "the window cleaner suit" is fönstertvättaruniformen, so you can go on for eternity, flagstångsknoppstoppsputsrengöringsmedelstrasa, etc
Haparanda (from Finnish "Haaparanta" = Aspen beach) was an area in the town of Tornio/Torneå that wound up being left in Sweden after the border was drawn in the river to separate the eastern half of Sweden which was seceded to Russia in 1809.
Yeah It's Really Depressing In The Winter Up In The North, It Starts Getting Dark at like 2pm.
We have a lot of longer words than that because you can put as many words as you can on each other, as long as you refer to one thing
Fun fact about the blue whale: It's the largest animal that ever existed on earth. It's larger than any dinosaur or pre-historic aquatic creature.
Santa is not belived to be pulled by goats here lol. Maybe way way way back in the day, but not now.
No, never. Santa is only about 120 years old, and have never been travelling drawn by goats except in some odd christmas card.
The glögg description is just wrong. Wrong wrong and more wrong. Glögg is infact a bunch of spices (cinnamon, ginger, cardemum and some others), boiled in red wine.
Also, the whole Santa and the goat. Santa is somewhat new thing here. Like… 120 years or something. Before that, we hade the christmas goat, which hade it roots in norse mythology. We call christmas jul here, which is based of the word jule, which was the vikings winter solestice celebration.
There is several other errors, like the surnames, the submarine thing (It Russian that claimed the fish farts thing…). And a bunch others, cba to go through them all.
Wow, agreed on the glögg. I can't believe they got it so wrong. What the video describes as glögg is completely different thing. The described thing, is still a thing, but definitely not glögg!!
Roots in Norse mythology? Any sources on that one?
I live right next to the woods and one day when i was leaving for school a moose was standing next to our garage
Having lived outside of Sweden for 13 years in both the UK, US and other countries.. Lagom translates to moderate or moderation.
The Flogsta Scream is wrong, its not stockholm, its in Uppsala 80km north of stockholm.
If you discount traffic accidents, the most dangerous animal in Sweden is the wasp or European Hornet.
Let’s not forget the tic, maybe not causing deaths but great suffering in terms of Borrelia and TBE. Had a friend that lost much of his physical and mental ability due to TBE-related meningitis. Caused by a tic.
Yeah, I heard the most dangerous animal in Sweden is the tic.
What you think is "Deviled eggs" might surprise you how salty they are. Basically kaviar on hard boiled eggs
Eriksson globe is called Avicii arena today 😊
Alfred Nobel also invented the gun powder in bullets that you use for ex. Automatic guns
That's false. Gunpowder has been around a lot longer than that. Modern smokeless powder I believe was invented by a frenchman. What Alfred Nobel invented was dynamite.
Flogstavrålet is in Uppsala, not Stockholm!
63. The longest word in Swedish is "Flaggstångsknappsputtsmedelsfabrik".
Which means "factory that produces polish for flagg pole buttons".
WHAT! I was shocked at your pronunciation of sverige I thought you were Swedish for a second
Finland have even more lakes than Sweden... Sweden have the world record number of islands, though.
Yeah he should have included that fact instead.
If you count the lakes that are larger than 1 hectare, Sweden wins against Finland with 100,000 vs 56,000 lakes. There are no figures on how many lakes there are that are smaller than that, so until someone goes out and counts, Sweden has the most.
Finland is the country of most lakes in the world if i am not mistaken? Finland got lakes, Sweden got islands. :)
Never heard of anyone being arrested or fined for dancing… And I did me some dancing in the early 2000’s 😄💃🏼🍹
I'm not sure about the recycling that several of those spew about. Here's what I think is going on.
Several places in Sweden (including my city) burns the true garbage - the leftovers after recycling is done - as fuel for heat and power, Instead of burning fossil fuels and instead of dumping garbage on landfills. Due to recycling being fairly extensive, there's shortage of garbage to run these plants. So garbage is imported for that.
So as you see the description you've been given is oversimplification to a level of lies.
And we do not buy garbage from abroad. They have to pay to get rid of it.
Did you know that we have a big mine under kiruna and people have to move there houses to other plac nerby so its no risk for it to collapse.
He missed the information about "Systembolaget" pretty interesting backstory
Globen is not called Ericsson, it´s renamed to Avicci arena. Number 42, it was WV-group that arranged the event, speeding tickets did not pay any prize money.
NO one is vallning Ericsson globe Avicii arena though, only his fans does it
"Sweden - Walking in Stockholm City" is a channel that I think that you might like!
My family has same blood and according to an ancestry app I’m related to renee zellweager
26:36 Hi, hate to tell you but that's not deviled egg's. It's just hardboiled egg's with kaviar paste on top.
I like it, but it is an acquired taste for a lot of people.
PS: Really like your video.
A lot of surnames, and i mean A LOT, does not end with "sson"!
Nope, they end with ström, gren, löv etc
Sant men ändå lite komiskt att det skrivs av en med sson. =)
reinders are white in the winter to bled in with the snow and they loose hte white fur and are brown or darker overall during the summer to blend in with the earth and grass and then they grow th thicker white fur bach duaring the winter to camoflauge and keep their bodytemperature
A rare Lindberg here!
5:31 "11/elva" is a "tal" not a "siffra" but you would just say "nummer elva", never "siffra elva"
There are numerous mistakes in this video and I’m not sure that the “humor” made up for them! I live in Dalarna, Sweden.
Nobel peace prize is actually given out in Noway by the wish of Alfred Nobel in his will. Sweden and Norway was in a union at that time.
There are about 11m people now
no it is actually like I think close to 10 mil actually
So many things that are wrong tho..: Maybe they scream in Stockholm, I’m from Gothenburg and never heard of it. I did not have to show I can avoid a moose when taking my driver’s licence, I’ve never seen a moose in the wild… And we do not det fire to glögg? It’s a warm spiced wine. Glögg is pronounced with a short ö, (no e-sound.. ) kind of like the U in ”turn”.
People have been living in Sweden for 3200 years?! The oldest recovered ski is older.... People were living in nothern europe and asia, during the ice age. But you guys got my click and thats what counts. Whats the accent the narator got? Intriguing.
Sorry for my bad english. Im swedish, from the north and closing in on 50.
Crawfish and crayfish is the same. Im not sure but it can be a different word in American and brittish English.
number 11 -- eeeh...no,the swedish troups went over the ice,yes,but the ice didnt hold them,so many drowned-the major swedish force came from another battle in eastern euroupe and walked thru germany to denmark,going over the ice from denmarks mainland to the islands
I met Santa inside of the whale as a kid💀
My name is a flower named after Carl von Linné :)
The Flogsta scream is not in Stockholm, it´s in Uppsala. ;) And some of theese are not correct...
24:12
There is no ''i'' after Älvdal, he said ''Älvdalien''
No, he said "Elfdalian" which is a language and have an "i" in English.
@@SteamboatW Yeah u right, i commented in the middle of the night so I was tired lol.
WE have bears and wolfs. But the dangerouses animal in sweden is a snake. But don,t even posion if we compairs to other countries
I'm from sweden and can teatch you some swedish if you want
Fun fact: In Sweden we have a law that we are not allowed to vote for anything to do with Donald Duck because in Sweden we love Donald Duck to much.
I found that out like 4 years ago in school.
haha... not really.
This is due to protest votes. You can vote blank, meaning put a blank - totally empty - piece of paper as you vote. You can also use that blank piece of paper and write down a party that is fairly unknown and didn't get the pre-printed variants.
But a lot of people used to take that empty piece of paper and write "Kalle Anka" (Donald Duck) on it.
You can think of it as an old-time meme (before the word meme was even a thing), a running joke among the protest voters.
Forbidding it is just silly.
my home in sweden is the beutiful city sweden jonkoping the swedish name is Jönköping
43 never heard of it
I like that he said Sweden "rage quitted" and left the Kalmar union.
I am not sure about 43, i live in Sweden but have never seen anybody scream out of their windows.
It WAS stated as a VERY local thing...
They forgot to add that Surströmming is the worst smelliest food in the world.
I'm embarassed to admit that more than half of these facts where unbeknownst to me even as a swede.I learned today! The heavy metal one caught me off-guard. I haven't laughed that much in years.
he is really not on the facts! and he missed our coffe use, we love it
Vilken fin video. Glod kaka, ej?
Flogstavrålet and Flogsta is in Uppsala, not Stockholm 😭😭😭
No I don’t believe that we scream every Tuesday at least not where I live wouldn’t that be annoying just hearing screams tho?
he was right about most things but some stuff he was exaggerating aa lot (I live in Sweden btw)
Those deer mfs show up more on roads in my experience🫡
Nummer 95, är det reaktor Richard?
glögg is very good
Yoo i'm from Älvdalen my mom can speak Älvdalska
So much for a flat Earth wont work with a midnight sun
"Hej CZcams pojke" doesn't make sense. The most you could improve it would be "Hej CZcams-pojken". But why you'd say that I don't know, to some CZcamsr I guess.
Haha, he said siffra elva, it should be nummer elva. He tried to say number eleven on the list, but we have two words for number.
Why did he pick pictures of IKEA with the flag half raised!?
You should react to the joik from Sweden's Got Talent.
Gift is not pronounced yeft, it's pronounced yift, as in the i in internet. He should have at least looked that one up. Though in my dialect you could pronounce it like that. XD
Kiss is not urine, but pee (noun).
He should have included "smorgasboard" when talking about word from Swedish in English.
I hate that they removed the Swedish number!
We don't import waste from Norway to help out, we do it cause we need it for our own energy.
tetra pak ?
The screem out the Windows is a complet myth. never mer anyone that have done that
Flogsta, Uppsala.
Happens often.
Deviled eggs are common in Sweden.
No. No one eats them here.. I make them, cause I lived in the US and fell in love with them. Here my family thinks they’re weird. Here we eat egg halves with mayo and shrimp or caviar.
... and the word for speed is "fart".
Ohh shit my mom is a gaming nerd on candy crush she's just on 2500 level. Never let your mom play games. I'm promise u
18:57 Lappland is Lappland in Swedish as well, just not very woke anymore.
How do you not know abba?
Those "köttbullar" between the facts look effin disgusting... haha
The number 43 fact is definitely not true I have at least never heard of it
"learning how to speak sweden" it is learning how to speak swedish am I right
Ive never seen anyone put fire on Glögg in my whole life,never ever heard of it
the screaming is not true 😂
No Viking facts?
fact 43, is Cap
That scream stuff at 10 pm.. (at 17:15) what a piece of bullcrap! Not known to Swedes, maybe local to one school or something.. Never heard of! Gift is not Yeft, its yift, and spells gift. Quokrey, right? The Russian submarine did eventually showed its ugly face in Karlskrona archipelago in 1981, when submarine U137 got stuck on the shore. Bastards.. And last the surenamnes.. Well that is just not true.. My suremane i 100 of years old and does not end with "son". That is just a hoax. That goes with lots of surnames in Sweden.. Come visit, why dont you? Welcome!
I love Sweden, beautiful country. But this video shows the biggest problem in Sweden, it's filled with Swedish people!
Edit: you get milk from reindeers by lifting it up by its back legs and shake it.
