can you tell swedes and finns apart?

finns have chinky eyes

Yes, I can tell Finns apart no matter who you compare.

>>213137871
Are you Swedish though, or that constantly complaining Swedish flag who doesn't seem to be Swedish?

It's more of a spectrum though. Harder to tell people in the north from Finns, and there are few Finns who couldn't pass for Swedes. There's like a particular older-lady-named-Rita phenotype that's the most distinctly Finnish one I can think of.

>>213137976
The one on the right is literally this Finnish actor. Swedes tend to look like Erik Karlsson

>>213137836 (OP)
Finns have fatter faces shorter stubbier limbs smaller eyes and smaller noses.

Yes, there is a difference. However something that should be noted is that Finns are immensely diverse in looks while Swedes are not, they are all the same. I mean there are outliers but that's beside the point.
It's more common for Swedes or even just Balts to be able to pass Finland than it is for Finns to pass in their countries.

the riku rantala phenotype

>>213137836 (OP)
I think this is the most familiar Finnish face I've ever seen.

>>213138333
North Savonian heritage. Of course it's not the average face.

There are people in this thread who are butthurt Fenno-Swedes or Russians and they aren't telling you the truth. Yes, some Finns do look pretty Nordic too and it's not such a small number.

>>213138333
He doesn't look non-Swedish to me. Too lazy to dig up the old lady phenotype.

Fennoswedes are the real enigma

>>213138380
It's just a guy who is uber Finnish looking but not in that memey way.
Indeed no striking features like say a high fwr, shaped zygos or gonions.
The guy drinks sugar every minute on his gaming chair spiking his insulin without him knowing it.

>>213137836 (OP)
The orange ones are Swedes, the Mongolian ones are Finns.

fennoswedes often haver darker looks

Not the one I was thinking of, but Tarja Halonen looks pretty Finnish.

Thinking like older woman, black hair, kinda slim face.

>>213138698
Your brain has completely rotten away, Herr Freudenthal. It's just one of a dozen possible phenotypes. You only pick it because of pathological obsession with racial science.
Happonen has some overlap with East Slavs anyway, not even just the Mong ones.

>>213138835
Nah that's like an outlier, not like this rural chick. She's probably a city-girl by now.

>>213138936
Was trying to find the most distinctly Finnish and not Swedish look, regardless of how common it is. That just looks like a random Swede.

>>213137836 (OP)
swede or finn?

>>213139017
Doesn't look like either, though it's probably angle and stuff. That makes him hard to place at least.

>>213139004
Yeah? I think she looks like a nurse and Happonen looks like any skinnyfat Finn like any other. There you have it.

no, they look same

>>213139417
Estonian orphan

>>213139417
Guessing Swede, but it's a coin toss.

>>213139567
It's a Fenno-Sneed Justin Bieber. idk about his ancestry though.

>>213139608
Was worried it'd be someone famous here. Bad at keeping up with modern celebs.

>>213139608
When he talks to Benjamin Ingrosso do you think they speak in English to remain on equal grounds? or do you think he's cucked enough to speak Swedish

>>213139656
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOJtFWfF4fQ

he collaborated with Alan Walker which is the closest thing a Nord can get to mainstream recognition

>>213139608
Robin Packalen is not a Fennoswede. His second name is "Petteri" and he studied Swedish as a second language (googled this)

>>213139703
he was a warm up act for Justin Biebers concert. I think that was the height of his international career, but most Finnish singers do not really do well internationally even if they would be very popular back at home. Singing in English is usually a big filter

>>213137836 (OP)
yes

>>213139789
Artists often try to make English versions of successful songs here too, but they almost always turn out crap compared to the original for some reason.

>>213139703
Don't know who Alan Walker is either. I have boomer music taste though.

>>213139417
favela brazillian phenotype

>>213139891
in Sweden its not unusual for artists to do well internationally though. For Finland aside from metal its pretty much not a thing

>>213139703
speaking of Finnish music, this girl has the classic Finnish phenotype

>>213139928
Seems people often struggle to make good English versions of good Swedish songs though.

>>213139952
maustetytöt are more standard looking

>>213137836 (OP)
Yes

>>213139990
covering a song by translating it to another language that isnt your native hardly ever works
lots of old finnish hit songs were just covers of american / british / german / italian songs but translated into finnish

>>213140018
then there's this caramel goddess

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjthWPX1DcU

Heightwise no difference and very similar complexion. The biggest difference is in facial features; Swedes having more narrow features and Finns more broad

>>213140054
Think it was the same in most of Europe. Like people who are 70+ grew up with lots of songs they probably didn't know were translated / lyrics-substituted covers.

finns are round and chubby, and often times have chinky eyes
swedes have sharp jaws.

the true mark of a knower is if you can tell if they are a northern swede or a finn.

>>213140055
i like this finnish song

https://youtu.be/SxKx9GHPrzk?list=RDSxKx9GHPrzk

>>213140126
There's a gazillion versions in different languages of this one. Italian pop song originally. I like the Swedish one though.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70k2lHsBMKo

>>213140094
Technically yes. Rounded features are more broader than squarer.

Swedish tend to look more like this Spaniard.

>>213140363
Definitely passes. Maybe his mom got knocked up by a tourist.

During my conscription I noticed a massive variety of phenotypes ranging from 210cm Nordic God to straight up untermensch manlet potato head ass niggas. And same with Sweden to be frank

>>213140415
His surnames are totally Spanish and he is from a rural area that receives like 0 foreign tourists for the last decades (Huesca).

There are a few hundred of thousands that look like him. Probably Visigothic descendants that remained in rural areas.

Swedish or Finnish?

>>213140488
Finland has higher internal genetic differences than France and the UK. Not limited to simple west and east classification either

>>213140534
swedish if we talk about facial features >>213140094

>>213137836 (OP)
Yes because Finnish people have Asian roots and a lot of them had to inbreed in order to not go extinct back in the days

>>213140658
well he's Finnish

Finns look more like Sami folx than us with higher cheek bones

>>213137836 (OP)
Im probably around 40% finnish genetically and yes I definitely can. Because most people where I live are part finnish and the ones who are not stick out

Finns tend to look more like this Spaniard Juan Diaz.

Finns are more Asian and less Near Eastern and the phenotypes reflect this reality. Minus the East Asian, Finns are actually the closest population in the world to the original Yamnaya people.

So ironically we might be the most Indo-European population despite not speaking Indo-European language

>>213140844
Tornionlaakso?

>>213140844
I want to mock finns for being asiatic mongols but even I am part finnish

>>213140964
jep

>>213140966
Yea them southern and eastern finns are still way more asiatic and stupid looking than the based northerners. Ihate da souf

>>213140966
That never stopped Fenno-Swedes now did it

>>213140956
We are either the least European population in Europe or the most, depending on how significant one considers 5% Siberian to be.

>>213141079
that would probably be Russians/European Jews, judging by that image at least

>>213141079
Latvians are the most regardless

>>213141014
I'm from SW Finland and most likely mog you in every way imaginable northern manlet

>>213141145
Not as close to Yamnaya as Finns

>>213141186
Go up to tornio or rovaniemi and fight the locals you southern fairy

>>213141325
The northern reindeer gypsy will resort to taking his knife out since they can't physically overpower another man so I'll pass
