I once chatted with a Finnish MEP who told of a question one of his colleagues asked him. "How many forests are there in Finland?" How you're supposed to answer that? One? It starts from the southern coast and ends up on the treeline in the north.

Funny: In Iceland, the only weather forecast you can trust, is the Norwegian weather forecast for Iceland

A little correction: In Finland you cannot buy alcohol after 9pm from the store. Bars are open until early morning so if you go to a bar or a club, you can buy yourself a drink.

Ok to be clear about nor serving food to guests is a way to not overstep boundaries. if you a dinner guest you get served food, if you on a play date as a child you only get served food if it is agreed befor hand between the parents. So if you feed other parents children without agreeing to do so you belittle the other parents. It is like "we are better att taking care of your children then you are." and that is the rude part that you avoid. The other thing was that it is not that fun making dinner and your kid gets home and have already eaten, overstepping boundaries. It usually was more common during the 70s and 80s but is slowly dying of. Dinner use to be a more private and impotent family gathering.

One thing worth asking: "If you have guests at your home, is the host or the guest expected to express that it's time to leave?" (Assuming the end of visit has not been agreed on previously.)
As a Finn, I still remember when we had a guest from some African country and the guest was still in our home really late in the evening because the guest assumed it's rude to suggest they would leave and Finns rarely recommend the guests to leave, so the end result was both parties were waiting for the other party to take initiative.

Finns have many healthy hobbies. Different winter sports like ice swimming and skiing, indoor sports, music, art, swimming, hiking...

6:30 I am South Korean. Funny thing is, a few years ago, the Korean weather forecast was so "unreliable" that many Koreans searched the Norwegian weathering service instead and it was actually more accurate ๐

The thing about not getting dinner at your friends house in Sweden was much more true around 20 years ago and before. The background is the swedish mentality that you dont want to be in "debt" or owe anything to other people. My parents would be furious if i ate at my friends house without telling them. First they felt embarrased that the other parents maybe would think that i did not get any food at home. Second: They now would have made food for me and when i came home i did not want it. As a kid you did not think that it was weird that you sat alone in your friends room while they had dinned. Then you could play on their Nintendo 64 or playstation by yourself! Now when i have become older i see that all of this seems a bit weird :D

I was born and raised in Saint Petersburg, so I also got used to this kind of weather (same latitude - same issues). We have 62 sunny days in a year (on average), so grey skies and rains are kind of our thing, the same with seasonal depression due to the lack of daylight in winter.
In May 2022, my husband and I moved to Izmir, Turkiye, and we got quickly irritated by the amount of sunlight (yes, the sun is really good for your mental health, although). Here, there are 300!! (that's too much, +-5 times more than in St.Petersburg, omg) sunny days in a year on average. Grey skies and low temperatures make us go for a walk as nothing else, and we are extremely happy when it rains here.
So, we're convinced that southern countries are not our cup of tea, hehe, and we're moving from Turkiye in a few months (our second attempt to find a new home).
P.S. I'm in love with Scandinavian countries. I spent a week in Norway (in the Northern part) and a week in Sweden (mostly in Gรถteborg) as a kid while I was on tour with a choir. Also, we've been to Finland and Denmark for a few days. In my free time, I learn Bokmรฅl (just because I like it, no purpose).

The Swedish dinner thing, as a Swede we only cook what's nessecary for the people who we know beforehand will be eating so if another person all of sudden would eat there wouldnt be enough food for everyone.. >.>
But if we know before we shop/make the food then for sure we would invite the person to eat there!

Actually many Finnish cities have pretty good public transportation compared to most parts of the US. Not only that but many cities are quite walkable. For example I grew up in Kuopio and you could basically walk through the entire city, including suburban areas, without needing to interact much at all with infrastructure designed for cars. It was like two different worlds that existed within the same city โ one for pedestrians and one for cars.
The countryside is an another matter but then again what do you expect. You get a few busses a day and that's it.

From perhaps the 50s-90s, it was not common for children to eat at their friends' houses, unless it was the case that you slept over, coffee was a completely different matter. The reason is that dinner was a family time, it was when the parents had time to talk to their children, about homework etc. the first thing a parent's friend asked when you got to their house was when you were going home for dinner, eating dinner with someone else's child was considered quite rude to the other family as they had planned food for their child and had a family time, of course did it work if one's friend's family called one's family and asked if it was ok. However, this should preferably be done well in advance, such as the day before.

Your channel is great brazil here. I have recently been using your channel as a "learn nordic culture for dummies" guide. Albeit some things i did already know. But i am loving it. Great info and you just make me more antsy to start living in northern norway.

Scandinavians have a reputation for being closed off and can be perceived as unfriendly. It should really be perceived as politeness in the way that we respect each other's private sphere. I perceive Scandinavians, or at least Danes, as practical in the sense that we can very well have a conversation together if there is something to talk about, but that we don't do it for the sake of the conversation. ONE of the few exceptions to that rule is that the weather is an excellent way to "break the ice". I am curious as to whether Scandinavians from other countries perceive it somewhat in the same way?

The Swedish "not serve food" thing: Where I come from in Sweden it was/is rude to visit someone during their dinner time so you try to avoid that as far as you can (my dad was very strict on this, if you are not sure when they eat make sure you visit afterwards).
This is because if you visit during the start of the meal you kind of force them to offer you dinner as well and it becomes like you invite your self - which is inconsidrate and rude (you do not know their economy and how much strain one mouth more will be to them).
However it is also very very rude of the host not to offer their guest to join them for dinner - especially if the guest was invited to visit earlier in the day and/or is stuck there while the host family eats (for example while waiting for a ride home). If it is a neighbour that uninvited just pops by to exchange a quick word or borrow a thing it is excused not to invite to dinner even if it happen at dinner time. Otherwise not.
If you are offered to join the dinner it is polite to thank for the invitation but decline the food (often with the excuse that you have food waiting at home) and then leave before they start eating.
Declining but then remaining/lingering while they eat is often seen as very awkward (but it do happen especially for kids waiting for a ride home). If you can not leave (for some reason) it might be better to accept the invitation to the table but then just take something small (like a coffee or water), sometimes under the pretext that you have food waiting at home.
To avoid all this potential social awkwardness all together you make sure you are not visiting during dinner time. So when someone starts talking about or start preparing dinner that is a que that it is time to go home, ideally before they invite you for dinner so they do not need to invite you do not have to decline.
However if you do get the invitation and you do accept to join for dinner make very sure to return the favour as fast as you can when the roles are reversed - "favours and return favours" as the saying goes - in order to be polite.
If you as a guest are a bit socially tone deaf and happen to uninvited showing up, or lingering, during dinner time (most likely several times over) and thereby over stayed your welcome, a typical Swede would not confront you about it. However you might very well not get the invitation to join the dinner as next time it happen. Not inviting to dinner is in my world a silent but clear gesture of annoyance and passive agressivness. An overstep in ettiquett is retuened with an equal overstep in ettiquett to make a point, which is a sign to take seriously as it is probably not done lightly.
If you as a host happen to have an unexpected guest at dinnertime and you do not have enough food you tell your uest, splitt equally what little you do have and if you can you offer bred and butter (and sometimes cheese) to make up for the difference.
So the whole is a intricate dance between host and guest where the host are supposed to be generous and show hospility but the guest is also supposed to show respect, be polite and not take advantage of the hospility and become a burden for the host. Hospitallity is suposed to be given, not taken. Exactly where the bounderies goes though differs a bit from relation to relation and situation to situation.
This dance between host and guest, where the guest is also obligated to takes steps not to be a burden, is different from many other cultures where the guest is not under any such obligations.

My experience in Finland is so different compared to the Finnish girl. I guess because I live in the capital, but I've used the subway and other public transport my whole life, I'm 30 and still don't have a car/driver's license or feel the need to have one ๐
Also I very rarely drink (mostly just a glass of wine couple times a year) and didn't like getting drunk when I was younger. Rarely get to go to a sauna either (never had one expect the public ones in some of the houses i've lived but eugh).
