Inspired by callthepplwondery83's posts in the Let's Ask FuNkeNsteiN thread, I decided to create a thread dedicated entirely to the learning of the Finnish language. Acting as your teacher, I will translate words or phrases or whatever you wish to know into fluent Finnish. Have fun

Could you please translate the following:

"Where on Earth is my anti-frizz serum?!?!"

Thank you,
JasmineFire

FuNkeNsteiN said:

"Thank you for dinner! I love grilled hippotamus!"

Thank you,
JasmineFire

How do you say "Shut it" in Finnish?

JasmineFire said:

Kiitos päivällisestä! Minä rakastan grillattua virtahepoa!

LleeLlee said:

LleeLlee said:

2the9s said:

also how do you say "2the9s take your shoes off."

How do you say, "No! YOU shut it! "

(Including the emoticon, if you please. )

2the9s said:

nein! tu turpa kiinni!?

LleeLlee said:

Whaaat?

Is that it?

No it isn't.

My grandparents spoke finnish!

I miss them.


I know how to sing a children's song, count to 5, and a handful of words in finnish but I don't know any complete sentences nor how to spell any of it.

that's so awesome!

I want to know how to say

" I crave your body "

Mach said:

yeah, i wanna know how to say that, too!

JasmineFire said:

I hate to say this cos my boyfriend's half finnish, but I hate the language. I can say "I love you" in Finnish but imo it sounds like it should mean "I hate you, asshole" not that my language is so much better (Swedish).

i will always remember the first time i heard swedish.

i was at disney world with my mother and we were on one of those buses that transport you from the resort to the park and there was this family and, to my uneducated ears, they sounded like the swedish chef from seasame street. as it turned out, they actually were swedish and very nice, too.

for all these years i had thought that they just had the swedish chef speaking nonesense for no reason but it turns out he was actually speaking swedish or at least making swedish-like sounds.

i've never heard finnish but i do like swedish.

How does one say "I'm strong" to the Finnish?

how do you say

"Does The moon devour you tonight?"
