Abstract
Inspired by the well-studied case of hyperbolic surfaces, we can ask about the expected value of geometric properties of translation surfaces for large genus. I will give an overview over a few results, most of them related to lengths of saddle connections and hence to Siegel-Veech constants. This is partly based on joint works with Howard Masur and Kasra Rafi.
