Hello and welcome back to my channel! Come here to enjoy! I want you to do the video with me. Come here! Come here! Come here! Good girl! Come here! You can have a kiss! Kiss! Good girl! So yeah, I have a little friend here. All the dogs I know are so camera shy. So, you're a camera shy. Hello and welcome back to my channel! This is like the worst setup but sure. Hello, my friends! My favorite! That's the finished version for you as well. Come here! Good! Okay, so in this video we're going to talk about what Easter is like in Finland. And also go through some like Easter vocabulary and how we celebrate Easter in Finland, usually. Does that say that already? Okay, so Easter in Finnish is Batiainen. The preparation for Easter starts rather early, like at least two weeks early because we want to grow our raierruoho, which is just like grass. So you plant the grass seeds into a soil, you know, whatever container you may have. And then you just wait for it to grow and usually it's ready by Easter and then you can put like Easter decorations on the grass like Easter eggs or little like chick decorations. So the chicks are Batiainen's people. And I guess all the words then kind of have that Easter word in, you know, the prefix. I think that's the right word. And Easter egg is Basiäismuna, so Muna is egg. It can also be something else but let's not talk about that. And then this is the, you know, the fun part, I suppose, as a kid on a pound Sunday, so a week before the, you know, the real Easter. Hello. Oh yes, I'm recording. Welcome. Silence in the set, please. So, yeah, what was I saying? On a pound Sunday, the kids dress up as witches. Yeah, we dress up as witches and we decorate like a pussy, we love branch. So I guess you could just say a we love branch, but you know, it's the Bayongissa. So that just means we low cat, kissa, Bayongissa, kissa is cat. Oh my god, are you opening those? This is Christ. Okay, anyway, thanks for ruining my video. So yeah, so you would just find those we low branches in the forest and then you can decorate them with, oh my god. You can decorate them with like colorful feathers or, you know, the crispy kind of decorative paper thingy or put whatever you want. You know, it's not so strict because it's art. So then you would go basically door to door with those branches dressed up as a witch and you would knock on people's doors and say this riddle that goes Virvon, Varvon, Tuarex, Tervex, Tulevaks, Huadex, Vitsasule, Palkamule. And that means in English. I did actually Google it because I didn't want to like do a bad translation of that. So hold on, my cousin is ringing me. Okay, sorry, where was I? Well, I think I left off at the little riddle. The translation goes like, oh, I think you can actually see the book, oh Jesus Christ. So the translation of that goes, I waive a tweak for a fresh and healthy year ahead, a tweak for you, a treat for me. So basically the person will take the tweak from you or the branch and then they will give you like Easter eggs or money. So yeah, it's fun. And I will also insert a video of my cousin's baby dressed up as a witch. And also he's not really a baby anymore. He's too soft. Yeah. Okay, so yes, so an Easter witch in Finnish is Basia, it's Noita. And Basia, did I say Basia, it's Bupu already. So that's Easter money. And Basia's tiputa was Easter chick. And Basia's gukko is Easter rooster cock. I don't know. Anyway. Easter flowers in Finnish like daffodil is narasi sick. So almost like an arseist, but not. You could also have tulips tulbani in Finnish. So yeah, so anyway, yeah, so some foods that we would typically put some food that we would typically have on Easter would be Mammi. So Mammi is kind of how it sounds like not so appealing, I guess. So it's like this Finnish Easter pudding made of like rye flower and malt, malt, malt, you know. And yeah, it's like a type of research. And you can also have it with like cream, but not like whipped cream, but actually just like raw cream. Yeah, I don't like that. I'm never like that. But then again, I don't really like typical Finnish foods in general, I guess, so apart from the Korean pasties. So then you would also probably have some lamb. And that's quite typical. And then Basia. So I also googled this. So Basia is... I thought actually Basia was like commonly known, but I just asked my Portuguese boyfriend if he knew what Basia is and he doesn't know that. So I guess it's not that typical. So it's creamy colored pudding made of sweetened homemade cheese, eggs, cream and seasonings left overnight to solidify. Yeah, it's from like orthodox Christianity, I guess. It says on my notes from Google. So that's obviously then accurate because anything on the internet is accurate and true. So anyway. And of course we have also this kind of like famous traditional Easter egg that's called Mingon. Fuck. It's called Mingon Muna. So like Mingon, I don't know, Mingon chocolate egg. And it's basically the size of like a normal, you know, household egg. You will have the shell, like the normal egg shell on it, but inside you have that like this delicious chocolate. And that's kind of like, you know, very creamy and delicious, but as a kid it was super annoying to peel the shell off it because it's not super easy to get off, but it's delicious. Oh yeah, chocolate egg also is su kla muna. So you know how like in Ireland or in the UK or whatever, eggs are massive like this. In Finland, Easter eggs are not like that. They are small. So they're like either tiny that you would like hide around the house. His video is going so well. Yeah, there would be like smaller eggs, typically the tiny ones or like, you know, medium size but not the huge ones. So I never had a huge Easter egg until I was an adult and moved to Ireland. So yeah. So yeah, I guess this is kind of like the video. Probably forgot a lot of things, but this is just, I wanted to give you an idea of the dressing up as which things because yeah, that was the fun thing to do as a kid. Dressing up as a witch for Easter and decorating those willow branches and going door to door. I would have decorated one for this video, but I couldn't actually find one in the nature and yeah. So anyway, thanks for watching this video. I hope you learned something new and I hope you liked it. And I will see you in the next video. So bye, bye bye bye bye bye. Adios amigos. Muy cacaberito. And maybe I will take it just a piece of John John here as well. El olito John John. Hey, cacal. Yes.
