All you need to know about Finnish language...

[Narcisse]

Seems like there are quite a lot of foreign (non-Finnish) people here who are at least somehow interested in our fascinating (???), yet very difficult language...
I thouht I'd start a thread where these people could ask us Finnish people anything they want to know.
For example, if you've seen some Finnish texts in a shirt or somewhere else and you'd like to know what that means, this would be the place to find out...
And I think it would be nice for us Finns if you'd tell us what useful words and phrases you already know in Finnish. And if you want to learn some cool and useful phrases, you could also ask those here... I believe that there are lots of Finns, me included, here who would be more than happy to answer your questions and teach you some official BODOM language!!!

I just ordered a book called "Finnish: A Complete Course for Beginners" from Amazon.com. I don't know any Finnish yet but I've been wondering what "perkele" means.

Really? It is very old word and it means something like "satan" or "devil" (not always the christian one!), although usually it's not so "strong" word as eg "saatana" ("satan"). I mean, much depends on which way you say it. It can be something like "damn!", but if you say it "from the bottom of your heart" it's one of the strongest words in Finnish language.

I was told "perkele" only has real meaning to a Finn.

I have link for you guys.

Best English-Finnish-English dictionary I've found in the net.

(3) Results for finnish word: "perkele"
1
perkele
deuce
2
perkele
devil
3

Of course the Perkele word is much stronger in finnish language than devil in english...

"Yes it is beautiful.

Lisää Kaljaa.......... really important this one. I think that we should write here how to say it in our languages...

In Spanish is: "¡¡¡¡Más cerveza!!!!"

Maksalaatikko - Liverbox
Lohikäärme - Salmonsnake

there's at least two girls here so you might as well give some nice phrases to us too (that doesn't sound too coherent)

 

[Zicrom]

What is the meaning of:

""eks toi saludo oo kahvia...


Päätä päiväsi saludo kahvilla... eks se mainos nii menny... "

 

[Twilight]

""eks toi saludo oo kahvia...


Päätä päiväsi saludo kahvilla... eks se mainos nii menny... "

It means:
''Isn't that saludo coffee? End your day with saludo coffee didn't that commercial go like that?''

or something like that
