What are these?
Hey!
Today we will have a quiz.
As to what kind of a quiz,
Last time I went to Finland, I saw this thing. This one.
I didn't know what this is used for.
When I asked what it was used for,
I was told it was used for slicing cheese.
I thought: "Oh, okay! Is that so."
The cheese sold in Japan is already in slices or small pieces,
so I didn't know that kind of a tool existed.
When I was told what the tool was, I wondered wether there were
other objects in Finland that a Japanese person like myself wouldn't know the use of.
Today I was brought different objects.
We will have a quiz on wether or not I will guess the use of these objects.
Alright, the first object!
Here it is.
What is this?
Beautiful shape. When you use a soap long enough it'll become this shape.
But I wonder what this is. For real.
You could press the massage points of your body with this.
Let's ask for a hint.
How frequently would you use this?
It depends on the person but about once a week.
Once a week.
There might be people who use it every day even.
People who use it everyday? Use this every day?
This is put into a washing machine with laundry and when it swirls around it removes the stains really well.
-No. -Wrong.
When you put this inside a shoe, it'll remove the smell really well.
-No. -Wrong.
Some people use this every day.
What time of the day would you use this?
-During the day or… -During the day or
-… it really depends on the person. -Well that must be so.
This is a relaxing object for when you take a nap and put it on your eyes: "It's so cold and feels good."
-No. -Wrong. That was fast.
-Do you want a hint? -I want a hint. Where in a room would you use this?
-Kitchen. -You use this in the kitchen.
This is used for smashing potatoes
This is easy to hold. You'd get a good mash from the potatoes with this.
-Wrong. -Wrong…
Are there any more clues?
Well… you already said the right answer.
What! I already said the right answer?
What is this suspense? Like: "You already know who the culprit is!"
What? What do you mean I already said the right answer?
It's frustrating but I can't seem to go back to my past. I give up.
What is this?
Soap.
Soap? So this is a soap?
Don't lie.
I did say that if you use a soap like this it'll become this shape.
This is a soap?
-Yeah. The shoe answer was also correct. -The shoe answer was also correct?
The shoe part was wrong but the smell was correct.
-This removes a smell. -Yeah.
Can you clean your hands with this?
It removes fish smell from your hands.
I see! This removes the fishy smell.
Alright, let's go to the next one.
This looks difficult again, what is this?
A complicated shape.
It opened.
It looks like you can set this up somehow. To this
It's a bit dangerous.
This is a bit dangerous. It's true! It's dangerous.
This is like some kind of a cutter.
I understand how this works.
You put something in here and when you press the blade down, it brakes in two.
The problem is, what do you cut with it.
You put a pistachio nut in here and cut it so that se insides come out.
Wrong.
You put garlic in it and cut it.
No.
You put a really small sized fish in here and cut in half.
No, no, no.
It wasn't any of those. You're like: "Just answer seriously."
This is surprisingly difficult. Could I have a hint?
Is this a tool used in the kitchen?
No.
That's where I made my mistake. This isn't something to cut food with.
Let's ask about the main use of this tool. If I'm wrong about this, then I'm done.
You put something in here and then cut it with this, right?
Kyllä. Yes.
Yes, I knew that. Please be assured everyone.
Could I have one more clue, please?
It's something that is not needed in Japan.
Something that is not needed in Japan but in Finland?
This is that thing.
The thumb of your gloves is cut so that you can take your thumb out and use your smartphone.
-Wrong. -It is, isn't it.
Who would use such a thing?
Aren't the more hints?
Hmm… No there aren't.
-There aren't!? -Because you'll get it right away.
Even if I do get it, I want a hint. I don't think I'll get it any other way.
For example, when you head hurts.
I know this! I see…
With this you can for example cut a too big pill in half.
Yes.
Do you have that sort of things?
I wouldn't have known this.
I don't know about these.
Next, I don't have an object but will look at a picture and try to guess the use of the object in it.
Okay, what is this?
There is a red handle.
Do you use it for shoveling snow, perhaps?
Wrong.
Wrong. There are two in the picture but you can use just one, right?
-Yeah. -That's what I thought.
A pro might use them in both hands.
A pro would use them in both hands.
That kind of a person would be pretty amazing tough.
-I have one more photo. -You have another picture?
What is this?
What if this is surprisingly
a device that is used to straighten the hair of people with perms.
A perm straightening device.
-Wrong. -Was it wrong…
Is this used in the house?
-Outside. -This is used outside.
I wonder if this is used in town or in the nature.
-In the nature. -In the nature… That's it!
In the forest you do this
and the mushroom caps get stuck to it, so you are able to collect a lot of mushrooms at once.
-Wrong. -Was it wrong!
-I wonder what it is. -But it was close.
It was close. So it's not necessarily for collecting mushrooms.
In the forest, not mushrooms… something that's in Finland…
What… Ah!
You can take a lot of berries at once from the sprouts like this.
Yeah.
Yes! I did it! Isn't it amazing that I guessed it right?
Yes! I was right.
What is this?
What in the world is this?
Wait a minute, what is this?
I mean, what is this?
I can't know this. There's no way to tell the depth or the size.
This could be 100m or 5cm long by looking at this picture.
A thing with a slightly thicker middle part.
About this size?
It's apparently about this size.
The middle part is thick so you probably press with it.
It's probably used in cooking.
A rolling pin used to spread a pie dough.
Close. Well, you're right but it's actually for a special dough.
A special dough?
A thing used to grind the rye in rye bread.
Rye is connected to this.
It's connected to this? I just said what came to mind.
Karelian pie.
Is it only meant for making Karelian pies?
Yeah. The Karelian pie dough must be rolled to be a circle-like shape. With this thicker part in the middle.
The use it to make a round dough.
Yeah.
So this is a Karelian pie rolling pin.
That's right.
A Karelian pie rolling pin. I wouldn't know that.
And so, I looked at some different objects used in Finland. I surprisingly guessed some right as well.
But there were also objects for which I would have never in my life guessed the use for. The progress of the quiz was fun.
It was great to see these useful things that are used in Finland, but aren't found in Japan.
So this time, I had a quiz!
We'll meet again! Bye, bye.
