Glad Vappen, alla svenskspråkiga!


Moi "Väinä". Here in sweden we know some of the finnish expressions. It's became a part of "common knowledge"....

Yeah those words

Let's see "Glad Vappen" hmmm, do you referr to april 30:th when "everybody" sees a chance to have a party and get drunk.

We also light a lot of fires by intention. Are there any words for these in english?
Don't think there is. Here's a pic instead.

Iso Guiness, kiitos!..... ahh kippis

I like this internet chrash course

Cheers!

Hello, portuguese class is back.

New word is: BONFIRE!

Portuguese: FOGUEIRA.

Thanks.

Heh, Glad Valborg på dig också (min svensk suger men jag tjempar...:-P) Where'd you learn all that Finnish? You're better at it than I am in Swedish, hehee!

Actually the swedish-speaking folks here use "vappen" (...not sure but I think that's the case, it can be fake Swedish also...), in Finnish it's called Vappu.

Motuman, welcome on board! Hauska nähdä aetoa savvoo tässä ulottuvuudessa! Älä suotta lurki nurkissa, täällä voi heittää läppää melkein mistä vaan ja porukka on tosi asiallista, jopa Blacky poikkeaa silloin tällöin. Voivodin pojat eivät kyllä paljoa näy (lue ei koskaan) millään saitilla, mutta vitut siitä! Missä päin maailmaa vaikutat?

Tiedän , olen lukenut tätä foorumia pitkään mutta vasta nyt tuli rekisteröidyttyä. En ole kuitenkaan Savosta vaan varsinais-Suomesta.

Voe Vot = Voivod in Savo dialect ??

Moi Väinä. I just learned some words and expressions "here and there", I can't put a whole sentence "together" in finnish. There are a lot of people speaking finnish here in sweden. AND there are an on-line dictionary on the web....

Well Annki, you're still using the language no matter how much you know it, which is always nice (and good for learning more)! Skål!

The course is nearing its end for now...today we are going to learn another important phrase:

Mitä kuuluu? = How are you?

The double vowels are pronounced as is, and there are no gaps or stops in "kuuluu". The Finnish "u" is pronounced a bit like the vowel in "moo"

Just to make things more obscure, I'm going to try and describe words separately too.

Mitä means "what" or sometimes "which" when translated directly into E, kuuluu is tougher to translate literally. I'd describe it as "(sth) can be heard (somewhere)", another meaning is "belongs to". Aww, I need a dictionary....

Cheers!

Hey! It actually makes some sense!

Hi, what belongs to? - I'm fine thank you!

"moo" just like a cow?! "ooooo" Mitä kuuluu?

Kippis/ skål/ cheers!

LOL Annki! yeah, the English-speaking cows do pronounce the "u" almost like we dooo!

Btw, you Swedes pronounce "ko" (that's cow in S as far as I know) exactly like the Finnish word "kuu", which means "the moon" in E...[imagines a giant cow shining in the night sky]
