All you need to know about Finnish language...

[brightkelly]

I heard that the Finnish businesspeople talk business in saunas, is this true?

 

[RadicalTheory]

So, I'm listening to Mokoma today, and I'm wondering if there's any meaning behind the band name? It's a cool word that's worked its way into my vocabulary, and I'm the type that likes to know what he's saying.

 

[Infernium]

Yea, i've been wondering that too Mokoma can translated as a curse word being closest to "Goddamn..." (the word Mokoma has nothing to do with Gods or such, as far as my knowledge, that's just probably the closest similar english one) or british "Bloody" maybe, but it is not really used at all in todays finnish. But actually i dont know, i'd really like to know this myself

 

[Warheart2]

what does "raikaste irman kaika" mean? i'm not sure even if i wrote that right...

 

[Sister Of Sorrow]

What does
"Pallisi ovat ihmeelliset",
"Ihmeellinen ötökkä heititkö mällit mullekhn? "(???)
and "Käytkö salilla vai oletko luonnostaan lihava?"
mean?
Only thing I know is that it's something perverted.....

 

[Decadetroll]

Your balls are amazing. Amazing bug, did you cum on ... (don't know what you mean with that last word)
and.. Do you work out or are you fat by nature?

 

[Axana]

What's "Jos jotain yrittaa(Harva meista on rautaa)"????

 

[Decadetroll]

If you really try something (only few of us is Iron)

 

[RadicalTheory]

OK, further elaborating on my Mokoma lyrics question, what do the following lyrics mean?

Sina Sanoit Sina Sanoit Sina Sanoit
Mene ja tieda

And

Saapuu Takatalvi (I know what Takatalvi is, but I can't find a translation for Saapuu).

Thankyous!

Inn I Slottet Fra Droemmen Gjennom taakete daler mellom dystre fjell under graa skyer mitt i svarte natt paa en stolt hest ifort svarte kler sterke vaapen i haand Uendelig med dode trer en evighet av kulde over stokk og stein inn i skyggene... Ut fra taaken ut fra morke ut fr fjellets store skygge drommens slott... da stopper rittet som varte i en livstid for herren gaar (Inn i slottet far droemmen) ----> is this Finnish? And if it is, what does it mean?

 

[Midnightblueshade]

No, it's Swedish or Norwegian (can't tell them apart ) I guess Norwegian, that dictionary finds more words

Into a castle... from a dream... valley? ... dark mountains under gray clouds in the black night... a proud horse... black strong? weapon in hand... Unending with death? ... stepping... in eternity of coldness ... over sticks and stones into the shadows... out of the mist... out of darkness ... out of mountains'? great shadow's dream's castle ... when stopped? the ride? wait... a lifetime? for lord's? going? (into the castle ... dream)

Either this text has hardly any verbs or I failed to recognize them

For a better translation, wait for a Scandianvian or try your own luck

That's interesting. You're fromFinland? It's a great country..I think so..I want to visit it in the future. \m/

 

[Decadetroll]

Sinä sanoit = You Said.
Mene ja Tiedä = Go and Know
saapuu = is coming

 

[Midnightblueshade]

No, I'm not from Finnland, I'm from Germany. So I can understand some of the Scandinavian words, e.g. "stokk og stein" = "Stock und Stein" in German. I'm learning Finnish but I've never been there yet, so I hope I can go there in the future, too

 

[Freyja]

[I've been Bodomized]

[Naragul]

I don't suppose one of you Finnish guys could translate the lyrics to Klamydia's "Mä Lähden Himaan", could you?

 

[ert]

^^ Yeah, I understood the words but didn't really understand what he was trying to say. Probably nothing.. :Smug:

Anyway, the site is probably mikropuhe: http://www.mikropuhe.com/demo.asp
