All you need to know about Finnish language...

Some links, although I can't tell how good they are. Maybe some non Finnish can give some good links if these aren't what you are looking for.

Thanks a lot!!!

And what about "vittu villilapsi"?
I guess it's "Fucking wildchild",isn't it?

 

[valkokukka]

^Yep.

 

[the phenom]

should be more like "vitun"...."vittu villilapsi" would be more like "cunt wildchild" lol

 

[valkokukka]

Well close enough, cunt wildchild sounds quite stupid

 

[Ess en]

I think it sounds pretty hard core. XD

 

[Andry_Wildchild]

So it's vitun o vittu?

If i tell alexi "vittu villilapsi",will he kick my ass?

 

[Leandro]

He might not, but I will

 

[valkokukka]

If you want to use it as a greeting "villilapsi perkele" is better. If you want to use vittu then its "vitun villilapsi" but it is quite offending, or negative way to say it. Villilapsi perkele is more like greeting with respect.

 

[Ess en]

Hmm. Then could vitun villilapsi be said as kind of a tongue in cheek kind of thing, knowing that it's rather offensive? Or would something like that be reserved for people who actually know the guy? So far, from the little exposure I've had- finn's seem pretty laid back with that kind of thing...

 

[valkokukka]

Sure if you get tone right, but it's just not that common to use vittu in that context. Sounds little weird for me.

 

[Mystique1721]

could someone translate this for me: aamun torkku illan virkku se tapa talon havittaa. ei savua ilman tulta.

tried using an online translator, but it didn't make much sense.

 

[Celeb]

Late to rise, late to bed that habit destroys the house. No smoke without fire.

Something like that. Makes sense now?

 

[Mystique1721]

thanks Celeb

and kind of...the "habit destroys the house" part is kinda weird. i guess it's some kind of finnish proverb?

 

[valkokukka]

It means that if you stay up late and sleep in the mornings your habit will run down your household. I don't know for sure but I would assume that it orginated from agrarian society like most of old Finnish proverbs. You need to wake up early to take care of animals and so on.

 

[Necroraven]

^ Yep, that's right, and that proverb is also used vice versa, like: Aamuvirkku, illan torkku, se tapa talon perii. So in english: Wake up early and go to sleep early, that habit will keep your house going (I know that the "keeps your house going" translation sucks but you get the idea).

 

[Mystique1721]

ah ok. I get it. thanks so much, you guys are very helpful

 

[CobHc_uk]

err what are the words they are singing at the end? like the actual finnish words, if you know what i mean

Hey there!
I desperately need some help for a little translation I've gotta do.
How do you say "X, you rock!"? when X is a band name and you can't put the verb at the plural form NOR at the singular. I would like some sort of a typical formula in order to express this.
Thanks lots in advance.
