Top Comments of this video!! :3
As people always get this confused:
Modern Icelandic doesn’t sound like Old Norse. Not even a little. Both Icelandic grammar and words are very close to Old Norse, but the pronunciation has changed tremendously.
(While pretty much all linguists know this very well, people in general seem unaware of it.)

Our Finnish girly was a bit left out in the video. We obviously are aware of the Norse mythology and have been influenced by it somewhat but we are not taught about it in school or anything (maybe briefly mentioned? I don't remember being taught about Odin etc). And we don't have Finnish variations for the names of the Norse gods. In a way fun to have her there nonetheless but she is definitely approaching the subject from a certain distance. Would be fun to hear about Finnish mythology sometime cuz it is also very interesting and quite different from the Norse stuff in many ways.

This is a bit difficult for the Finn because you can pronounce them like they are written there (as she did) or more like Swedes would pronounce. Minor correction is finns would have Mjölnir and Asgård. I think she said Mjolnir and Asgard. Again Å isn't a finnish letter so we would have to pronounce it the swedish way.
As she mentioned we have our own mythology, so we don't really have our own words for these. Interested to hear that they study this a lot in other nordic countries. We just quickly mention them in Finland. At least when and where I went to school.

Hey, Magda from Sweden here! I know Oden is more proper, but Odin is also a way to say it. I should've mentioned both but forgot at that moment. (Fick ingen info innan vi filmade så kunde inte förbereda) Also, I'm not sure but perhaps dialects could be a reason? Thanks for correcting and watching~

Some of these names were a bit weird ones to pronounce as a Finn since Norse mythology is foreign mythology to us (I'm still really glad that Finland was part of this🥰🥰 Thanks!).
I could sometimes get mixed up how to say these the "Finnish" way, because I would have heard how to pronounce them in English way... well that would mainly only be Thor😅
Or otherwise mix it up an accidentally pronounce it more tge Swedish way than the Finnish way😅
And I think it's also a good thing to acknowledge that Finnish is from different language group than the rest here.

The letter that is used in Icelandic at 04:38 was previously used in Old Norse, Old Swedish, and Old English. In English, it was called 'thorn'.

In Sweden we say "Oden", not "Odin".
