That's weird, considering that she's a native Finnish speaker. Sounded pretty Finnish to me, and definitely nothing like Northern Sami, though there may be other Sami languages that sound more Finnish-like.

CreamKsaid:

The "finnish" is closer to Saami. Not far but no price. Eesti is pretty spot on.

EMPIREsays...

Then she never heard portuguese in her life. She's supposed to be sounding like a portuguese, and she doesn't. at all. I've seen a similar video done by another person, where he also did portuguese and it was pretty spot on in. This was just not good.

FlowersInHisHairsaid:

Maybe, but this is what it sounds like to her, not you.

MonkeySpanksays...

So, you want your money back or a formal apology?

As a Norwegian, the Swedish was pretty much spot on - I'm guessing that she has relations to Finland and/or Sweden - either lived in or with close relatives from..

I think we're rolling forward with a class action suit on this one. Please do not accept any low settlement offers from @dag or Videosift at this time.

I have a friend who speaks Brazilian Portuguese and says she can't understand Portugal Portuguese at all. Could it be that this girl is pseudo-speaking a Brazilian dialect? (Just a guess)

EMPIREsaid:

The portuguese sounds terrible and nothing like portuguese at all.

EMPIREsays...

Haa, she isn't actually. I have seen a new video she has made, and in that video she actually tries the brazilian portuguese, and even though it's not particularly good, it sounds a lot better than the portuguese in this version.
