As a finn I would say even though weather is bad about half of year I still wouldn´t want to live anywhere else. That´s how well everything just works here.
Of course everything is not perfect I mean we are still part of this world... And of course everyone is not happy all the time but we got better change to live happy free equal life than most countries. No matter is your parents rich or not.
You cleary are not a Finn. Because winters are too cold. And then in summer it's too hot. ;)
As a finn, I have been thinking these things lately a lot and you couldn't possibly be
more right about this. Kiitos, sisko! (Thank you, sis!)
@@tsogobauggi8721 Actually, i love it when its super hot in summer i mean it's probably because im just skinny and usually cold but i enjoy the weather usually (I'm from Finland)
I could never live in a country with constant hot weather i actually love cold dark winter. I am perfectly happy living here mostly because the climate and the fact that there is so few people around me seeing stuff like New York trafic is like Dystopian nightmare to me.
I dont like crowds either, but cold and dark is depressing to me.
The Nordic countries ❤️🇸🇯🇩🇰🇫🇮🇸🇪❤️. Is the best.
This was in 2019 after Finland was declared the happiest country for the first time in 2018. But then Finland went on to be #1 in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022...
One thing I think has been understood wrong: The UN does not claim Finnish people to be the happiest. It is stating that Finland is the happiest country. Countries do not have emotions, therefore the happiness of a country is something else. Even the dictionary has another meaning for being happy - being advantageous.
Its always funny when people think Helsinki is cold.
Let's bare in mind that this is a very edited video focussing on a small group of people during a time most people might find unpleasant: When it's very cold. I don't think there could possibly be a single country in the world that's happiest as there's far too much complexity interfering with that for better and worse. Are we truly talking 'happiness' here or a lack of what makes someone UNhappy because there is a difference.
Life requires balance in my opinion and living in Finland you get alot of balance. Being down and grumpy in the winter makes summer just so much more enjoyable. You get a constant flow of good and bad. Living in a place where theres only one climate becomes monotone and that can get very depressive imo.
I love snow! ❤️
I loove living here and i feel super happy. Wouldnt want to live anywhere else
I strongly believe that Finland and the European welfare states in general are really good countries to live in, because we know that even if things could go badly, we know that we already have a support network from the state to rely on. General health care, social services, free education from elementary school to university. All this makes Finland an excellent place to live in my opinion, and I can honestly say that I would never want to live anywhere else. P.S. Winter, snow, cold and dark is not so terrible. It's very beautiful here in the winter and I personally enjoy the coolness much more than the warm.
"Why are the Finns the happiest people in the world? Because all the sad people kill themselves."
That is an old joke. :)
The way I understand it, happiness is well... an emotion. And that makes it temporary in nature. You can be happy for... well lets say hours. You will eventually have to fall asleep and get a reset. And when you wake up you might become happy again... or not. Might actually feel sad instead. Or neither. And sometimes happiness is very short lived. Something good happens, but it gets instantly ruined by something, which makes you so much sadder than just that annoying thing happening by itself. Being content however, is something a bit more long term thing. You can be content, go to sleep and most likely wake up feeling content again.
Thysheen, it seems you do not have rhe whole picture of winter in Finlans.Nr1. There is no bad weather on bad choise of clothes. Nr2.. the homes usually havr central heating and temperatur is between 22-24 C around 73 F. So what am saying. We are warm inside, wearing t-shirts and we even might be without socks:) And we have appropiate clothing as we go outside. And when we go outside in winter time we do not stand doing nothing. No, we move- like walking, biking, skiing, iceskating etc. Just telling….
nice video. from finland :)
Its probably Denmark or Canada. Monocle Magazine does an annual quality of life index. Follow that.
You keep saying you don't like the cold and darkness and stuff, but don't you live in New York?? 😆 I've heard it can get very cold there during the winter. I've never been to Finland but if you compare New York and the middle and lower part of Sweden for example, I can't imagine the temperatures being that much of a difference in the winter time 🤔
NY is on the same line of latitude as South of Spain. Sure they get cold winters but not long, long hours of winter darkness in Finland, Summer is very hot in NY, far ahead of Finland and spring arrives earlier. Believe it or not, Alaska is on the same lines of latitude as UK, Netherlands, Finland, Sweden etc.
@@manuelhung7571 It was only the winter temperature I was taking about.
the average temperature in New York during January is 39°F while in Finland the average during January is 19°F
FIRST TIME WATCHING Alan Carr LOL-O-METER REACTION....you will love him!!
I love Finland and the people, might be because my parents were from there, been there many times. Greetings from Sweden 😀
Alan Dean Foster, the famous American fantasy and science fiction writer who applied his writing talent to such hits as Star Wars and Star Trek, wrote a few words about Diana Ankudinova on his website.:
"Also, check out the youtube videos of the teenage Russian singer Diana Ankudinova. Her "Rechenka" is practically a mini-fantasy vid all by itself. Her vocal control is astonishing , her voice is powerful, and the timbre is unique. Closest analog I can think of is Yma Sumac."
So let me also advise you to make a reaction to the song Rechenka (14 years old)
Suicide rate is not high anymore, used to be
There's several parts to happiness. Financial stability ie a roof over your head and all your bills being affordable. A job you enjoy. A strong social scene. Good relationships with your partner and family. And the freedom to enjoy your life ie a good work life balance.
All are challenging to achieve for different reasons. No country can guarantee all of these things. We have to prioritise the things which make us most happy.
i remember asking for way in finland, the guy used the palm of his hand as a ashtray to put out his cigaret before answering 🤯
those studys do mesure content, its all about how safe you feel.
nederland is the country where kids are most happy, and thats more importent kids feel happy then adults
As a Finn this is funny. Last I seen anybody put out a cigarette with their hand was Omar in The Wire 😅
I like the sun, too.
Yea tbh as a Finn i dont buy this "happiest country in the world " thing like at all . i love my country , but i think we are far away from that . just because our system is " good " , and yea i mean """"""good """""" , doesnt mean that everyone is happy and running around smiling all day long .
You missed the point of the video and also the index. It's a badly translated and misleading title because it doesn't measure how happy the people are, it measures things like environment, absence of corruption, GDP per capita etc. Finland ranks high in all their measurements so naturally they rank high in this index, which again has nothing to do with happiness. For instance it doesn't measure how "good" the weather is because that's subjective, some (poor bastards) actually enjoy winter.
There 92% the same people what's there to disagree about. It's like living in New Hampshire.
In this time of year it pretty decent to live here. Around 20 hour sun light and temperature have been last week or so 25-30c (I have no idea what it is in Fahrenheit). Unfortunately there are in my opinion completely misery about 9 or 10 months of the year with only a few good things like sauna (actually in Finland we have more saunas than car's).
That would be 77-86 in Fahrenheit, Finland weather is similar to England.
It ain't no Brazil!
Suicide rate has fallen partly because alcohol culture have changed, I think. Previously many people had huge problmes with alcohol, but now it has lessened quite noticeably.
Of cource this also contributes also to much broaldy in society's "happiness" and well being.
Think about our suicide-rate, poverty and domestic violence...
Is it still the country where men have the highest sperm counts?
Even as my both parents as Finnish, I lived for my first 8 years of my life elsewhere in the world in 4 different continents, and now over 10 years been in Finland. I can honestly say that Finns really are more depressing people comparef to the other countries I was in. It's just that the Finns don't know or understand the outside world, and think that life in Finland is fun. That's why I personally am willing to move out from Finland after im a completely free adult myself quite soon. But I sure gotta say that living in Finland is the most precious and beautiful thing any human could do, not the funnest though at all.
Its fun you checked the top places but not the US! ;-)))
THE NETHERLANDS IS THE HAPPYS. NOT FINLAND IN WINTER THERE ARE AL LOT OF PEOPLE DEPRESSIEF.
Even with darkness we're still happier. We're just that good at being happy.
people in nederland always complain about everything 😜
if its not the weather then its something else 😆
In the Netherlands u dont have enough nature and space. It is very important for mental health that u have easy and Quick access in to the nature, forests etc ...dont need to deny results of this newest U.N. research.
Finland may have been a happy place, but since their inept prime minister applied for NATO membership without a referendum. i can seee this happinness rapidly coming to an end.
According to the latest polls only about 10% of the population actually opposes NATO membership. I've literally only met one person who opposed it and even he didn't really care that much.
The only inept thing here is your comment.
Oh my god - there is a Russian troll even here!
Besides Finland, only NATO countries has been ranked nr 1 in this index so if anything it might boost Finland's ratings. Also what difference does it make if Finland joins NATO? You really think Finns want to reclaim lands that are 10 times poorer than the poorest region in Finland?
Suicide rates were up high in 90s. Just without speculation you could search stuff by yourself. CZcams ain't the absolute fact. But if searching is too hard for you I'll help you a little. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_suicide_rate
