Do you think all Nordic language speaking countries understand each other?
Today, Norwegian, Swedish and Danish speakers tried to guess what Finnish say

It would be so cool to do the same with Finnish, Estonian and Hungarian - the Finno-Ugric languages.

Ironically, the vast majority of European languages, and even a number of Asian ones such as Farsi, Hindi, and Bengali, are technically more closely related to the Scandinavian languages than Finnish is.

Danish Swedish and Norwegian are all within the Germanic language family, specifically Northern Germanic and Scandinavian subcategories, so they are closely related, while Finnish is within the Uralic language family, which is why it is so different, though there are loan words and overlappings.

I wanna see Finnish and Estonian to have this type of conversation !

Finnish is so beautiful language! I cannot understand almost anything but I love to hear it!

“Boxing” in Finnish is “nyrkkeily” coming from “nyrkki” (fist).
Directly translated it would be “fisting” which does not go over very well 😅

Interesting the NSD languages closeness for fox - “rev”/“räv”/“ræv” - while actually, the archaic/poetic Finnish word for fox is “repo”/“repolainen”. Also just found that “reynard” is an old English word for fox, but “(le) renard” is modern French for fox, of course. Nice to see how there is a closeness in the words despite the distance :)

As someone living in Finland (I'm Vietnamese) i can tell that Nordic languages like Norwegian, Swedish and Danish are more close to each other in the language group vs Finnish (language) belongs to Uralic alongside Estonian and Hungarian, etc.
Thank you for making awesome video and make recognition for Finland in general <33

Swedish person here, and yeah, obviously it's super difficult to understand a language that's from a completely different group of languages, but it's still fun to see them try lol. The only thing I understood on the animal description was "it's not a cat" lmao.

Finnish is not an Indo-European language (most languages in Europe and many in Asia belong to this family) so it’s pretty obvious that they wouldn’t understand much.

This episode is interesting. Having seen how other Nordics have felt about the language, which is totally different from their native languages, I think the most difficult part for learning Finnish is the vocabulary, most of which cannot be associated with English, plus, some words look really similar but mean totally different things.
Julia speaks at a really moderate speed. That's much more pleasant and easy to understand.
Would love to see another episode with Finnish+Hungarian+Estonian native speakers.

I'm Swedish and I could guess that she said "cat" when she said "kissa", because it sound like "kisse" with is like a pet name for cat in Swedish, like calling a cat "kitty cat". The word "kissa" though, means "to pee" in Swedish, and "kiss" is pee".

I've been learning Finnish for eight years now and it has brought so much into my life. It's still tricky for me to understand the spoken language sometimes since I don't live in Finland, but I love the language and the people. Paljon rakkautta Kanadasta, Suomi! 🇫🇮💙🤍

The reason why we as Scandinavians are unable to understand Finnish is because Finnish is a Uralic language, while the rest of us belong to the Germanic language group!!
But as a Swede myself I really think Finnish is a beautiful language❤

Julia is awesome. So fun and great energy and I just laugh at how much none of the others can understand much of any Finnish depsite both Norway and Sweden bordering Finland (though granted not a very populate area that far North where they border). And yes we know it's because Finnish is from a different family, but it's still very amusing and Julia just has so much fun with it...

Dammit this was SO interesting! I loved it. Nice to see neighbours getting along and learning from each other.

Finnish is a beautiful language no doubt, but it has zero connection with the scandinavian languages except for some loanwords from Swedish. Asking the scandinavians to understand or guess it is just like asking a random Englishman on the street to decipher Cantonese, Thai or Mongolian sentences. 😂

I really like the Finnish lady Julia , she has such a good fun attitude , and does not seem to get annoyed when people cannot understand her language .

I'd love to see one World Friends episode, where Hungarian, Finnish and Estonian are put together as part of the Uralic language group
