What is Northern Europe in the eyes of Finns? What do Finns think of the four Nordic countries?

Finland and Norway are geographically separated by Sweden, and Finns and Norwegians have little contact. In sports events, Finns admire the achievements of Norwegians in winter events and javelin events, because Norwegians have easily won Finland in these events many times.

In the eyes of Finns, Norwegians are considered funny when they speak, because Norwegians speak very fast, and their lips and tongue seem to be moving at high speed all the time.

Norwegians like to drink very cheap wine. They like to get drunk. Finns find it hard to believe that prices in Norway are more expensive than those in Finland. It often rains in Norway, so raincoats abound here.

In the eyes of Swedes or Finns, Norwegians are simple and stupid people, because Norway is surrounded by countries that are good at inventing, and its unique geographical location also provides Norway with a good environment for creating new things.

However, the Norwegians did not make good use of these resources. They didn't invent much. Compared with Volvo, Saab and Nokia in Finland, they rarely hear about car brands or other high-tech products invented in Norway.

Most Norwegians don't take their work seriously. Usually at noon on Friday, some of them will skip work and go outdoors to play or ski. This is a serious and common thing in Norway.

Norwegians also have many things that Finns envy, such as abundant oil, natural gas, seafood, deep blue sea and towering snow-capped mountains. Norway is one of the most beautiful countries in the world, and Finns are willing to admit it.

Finns prefer Danes.

Danes like drinking beer as much as Finns. Most Finns have no rigid views and discrimination against Danes. It seems that most Finns like this country very much.

Copenhagen is a good place to travel with Finns on weekends. Many Finns like to go to legoland.

But Finns usually have little contact with Danes, who are positive and sunny in the eyes of Finns. Finns with a good education usually appreciate Danes.

Because the Danes have sent many soldiers to help Finland in the historical war, even though the Danes don't know the Finns, just as the Finns don't know the Danes.

In the eyes of Finns, Danes are more innovative than Norwegians. Denmark is rich in fish, oil, natural gas and other resources, but its land area is too small.

But in addition, they have many thriving small industries. Every Friday at noon, Danes, like Norwegians, will go out to play or go to the nearest bar to drink.

Sweden is very powerful.

Sweden is the country with the closest connection with Finland, but it is also the country with the fiercest competition with Finland. Sweden took care of Finnish refugee children during World War II.

Traditionally, the first foreign visit of the new Finnish president after taking office is to Sweden. In ice hockey, Swedes are Finland's main rivals.

Finns prefer to see Sweden humiliated in all sports. Finnish men often joke that they are going to marry a Swedish woman.

The Swedes in the eyes of Finns are snobbish. Swedes always consider themselves the big brother of Scandinavian countries. The arrogance of the Swedes has indeed brought a lot of shock to the surrounding Nordic countries.

Swedes have been brainwashed since childhood and think that their country is the best in the world. Around the early 1970s, Sweden really ranked first in the world in all aspects. Sweden sells a large number of bearings to the world every year, and it is often soft to make money.

Volvo cars became the safest and best choice at that time. Sweden relied on some luck and strong military strength to avoid the intrusion of World War II. So when the world needs to purchase a large number of industrial products and arms, their industry is in the best production state.

Swedes work hard and have good schools. The engineers trained in Sweden are world-class. In the 1960s and 1970s. Sweden began to need more labor.

At that time, a large number of immigrants were directly introduced from Finland, because Finland was slowly recovering from the ruins of World War II, resulting in a large number of unemployed people in Finland at that time.

Finns who immigrate to Sweden are usually well integrated into the Swedish system and life. Some Finns even learn Swedish from the beginning.

Even Finns who can't speak Swedish have similar values to Swedes, such as hard work, attaching importance to family and children, female culture, equality between men and women, and attaching importance to science and education.

Finns' way of thinking is greatly influenced by Swedes, but Swedish and Finnish are completely different languages and language families. Few Swedes can learn Finnish.

Finns are not satisfied with Sweden's immigration policy. Finns believe that the extremely open immigration policy has led to a large number of non-Nordic immigrants occupying Sweden, which has led to an increase in the crime rate in Sweden and a decline in the life happiness index.
