Hello,

I was in Helsinki Last year and it was amazing. The people are really friendly there the food is fresh and helthy and the Young people are very nice. What do you think about Finish people?

Montage of Feck · 07-03-2025 10:46AM

For, sure.

Sounds like you had a Finn-tastic time in Helsinki! With friendly people, fresh food, and kind young folks, it seems like the experience was truly Finn-omenal. And from the way you describe it, your trip to Finland was definitely a journey worth Finishing—hopefully not too early, though... unlike some other things in life!

I have yet to see any country described where locals are not classed as friendly. It's not particularly unique to Finland

dxhound2005 · 07-03-2025 10:53AM

It has lovely neighbours as well.

The international border between Finland and Russia is 1,340 km (830 mi) long.

Finnish people barely talk to their friends, never to strangers!! They don't even describe themselves as friendly. Unless you just met drunk ones.

And I really like the Finns and have spent a lot of time there.

What is it about Chatgpt generated content that immediately your brain goes 'this was written in Chatgpt'?

It's like the text version of uncanny valley.

Its just a slightly unnatural phrasing, addition of … or hyphen that most people wouldnt normally add.

Same with AI video, it can be very natural looking but something tweaks in the mind that its just not right.
Things like walking movement speed, gravity etc all trigger the human mind to identify it as fake.

dxhound2005 · 07-03-2025 11:09AM

At least they don't get fade haircuts, and they have lovely ponytails.

BrokenArrows · 07-03-2025 11:10AM

Think? Obviously i am!

cml387 · 07-03-2025 11:12AM

Alright, I'll do it..

Finland , Finland , Finland

The country where I want to be

Pony trekking or camping or just watching TV

Finland , Finland , Finland

It's the country for me

You're so near to Russia

So far away from Japan

Quite a long way from Cairo

Lots of miles from Vietnam

I went out with a Finnish girl once. She was as crazy as a bag of frogs but great craic with it.

But the drinking...jesus the drinking…she could drink like it was going out of fashion. All night long. Vodka.

When Sweden play Denmark at home in football, the score in the corner of the screen says SWE-DEN. The parts of the countries that are missing are DEN-MARK. (I suppose it works for other sports too, but I haven't witnessed them.)

This has nothing to do with Finland…

He's not finished, he's only 28!

An old friend used to tell joke about 2 Finns sitting at a bar for a few hours, just drinking.

Eventually, one says to the other: "Can you tell me what time it is?"

Reply: "Have you come here to drink, or just to talk?"

ednwireland · 07-03-2025 12:18PM

Absolutely! The Irish may be known worldwide for the drinking but, my God, the Finns know how to put it away!

And the price of it there! Even worse than here, from what I can recall.

beachhead · 07-03-2025 03:28PM

Some Finns can be agressive on a whim,especially with drink inside-male&female.Nobody mentioned the nude saunas yet

skycoud · 07-03-2025 03:41PM

When you finally see something on Boards you 100% agree with.

I had a Finn once. My very own personal one. He had a blond ponytail. He was 194cm. Could sail, fish, hunt......

Definitely a nation of actual men.

I would disagree, it's on a par for most things exceptwine and spirits, I suspect accommodation is cheaper. a hesburger meal deal is 10.90 a supermacs meal deal is 10.50.

Finnish people are very friendly - at least the ones who helped me extract my rental car from a snow bank after missing a car park exit in a blizzard and driving onto a large pile of heaped up snow. They thought it was hilarious; wouldn't let my kids get out of the car to help dig cause they would get cold and eventually towed me off it with one of their jeeps. So i can vouch for 4 Finns anyway. Actually i can vouch for 4 more, as the person from whom we rented a cabin drove over to us at 3am on new years night with three of their friends when we realised that they hadn't left any bedclothes in the cabin as its not normal to do this in Finland. It should be noted that they were all fairly pissed (alcohol, not angry) but were very friendly too.
