Finnish are mostly kind

  1. Many here have seen that I always complain about the lack of self criticism of Finnish people, but there are many more good things that I can say about Finns and that’s their kindness, patience and peacefulness.

  2. If they’d measure “vitutus” we’d be on the red.
    I’d say “anger” doesn’t translate well in Finnish and “viha” is considered a stronger emotion than what you’d describe as anger.

    For example someone cuts you off in traffic,an English speaker would say they’re angry,a Finnish person would say they’re “vittuuntunut” rather than “vihainen”(angry)

  3. That are a lot of people with anger problems. The Finnish people is obviously not one of them. Though most Finns indeed are kind, one should not confuse their self control with kindness.

  4. I don’t know what kind of “angry” was surveyed, but it wasn’t probably the one that we estonians, and probably finns, keep wrapped up under lock and key, bubbling under the surface 😀
