Forcing a Finn to talk without alcohol ain’t that easy.
Finns speak only if there’s something to say. No reason to speak if it’s just idle bs.
Are they shy or dont they understand what he is saying?
Nothing more to say than ‘yeah’
Yes, we do
Kimi said : I don’t really care and Valtteri : lets get a drink
Coming from Kimi, that shrug reply was basically a full page-length essay.

Eh
(you didnt got that one because im not from finland xD)
Torilleh.
My boss had a phonecall with a client and used about three different words during it. 2 were “noni” and “moi”
The interviewer said everything relevant about the situation. They’re coming to a corner that was made famous by the two. What’s there to add other than “myeh”?
Finns communicate?
TORILLE 🇫🇮 🇫🇮
Couple of chatterboxes
Finns, a basic everyday written conversation
Finn 1: Mo
Finn 2: Moro
Finn 1: joo
Finn 2: juu
Finn 1: no nii
Finn 2: niin
Finn 1: nii
Finn 2: mmm
Finn 1: mm
Finn 2: nm
As a finn i can confirm this was a highly intelligent conversation
We are Finns, you will hear our silence.
Eh. 🤷🏻♀️
This clip just screams finnish energy, or more like lack of energy.
I’m rather talkative person and think of myself to be a good at small talk, but even I’d had fallen silent here.
This doesn’t even look like a blameless situation, but a classic “english-native assumes common language means common mentality”. Research shows that they’re the worst pick to converse with people who speak English as second language, as they have no understanding on how to build common ground. So you get these situations where the interviewer (?) has a clear idea what they want the interviewees to talk about *but thinks it’s so clear that they don’t put it into words*. A non-native speaker (or a native that has gone through awareness training) would have expanded on the question.
As it was, there was no hook, no “tell us a bit about what makes this turn important”, just an expectation that just because everyone knows English, they have the same cultural background.
Finns are using so many short words,probably the best one is “noniin”😁

Other way is speaking while inhaling.
similar behavior in my region ostwestfalen (germany). we tend to use codewords to explain everything. If someone speaks german, this video reveals all: https://youtu.be/qF8TKD50D5o
that’s why i prefer cats over dogs. cause they don’t bark all time but walk their own ways
