Something like that. Sounds quite crappy in Finnish.

JESUS CELEB Thank You!!

If you ask me, it sounds crappy in any other language..

Some things are not meant to be translated in other languages- like this entire song!

In fact you didn't. That's frequently used by my friends as an insult or just as a swear word.

And what does it mean? Or it's something like "p*rkele" which has no straight translation in other languages?

In fact, isn't juusto cheese xD? As far as I remember kyrpä is a cock (not sure though..)
So is this something like Cheese Cock

Dunno..

Fun fact: 100% of the time, when it is said that a word cannot be translated, it is bullshit.

Correct!

How long have you been studying Finnish? You are really good for a non Finnish person.

WHAAAAAT!!!!????

Well, thank you! Never thought that I'm good at it

Very nice of you Esa!

Kiitos!
Well, I studied Finnish in Sofia for like a month or so and then I moved to Rovaniemi for a Finnish course. I'm still here- staying until September

It's kinda hard here- two times I had to ask people to speak in English because spoken Finnish equals Hell to me! Right now, I can understand that original Finnish perfectly and kinda spoken Finnish, too, but ME speaking/writing/reading in Finnish is a total............ XD yep..
I still can't say words like yötyö or syksy and I definitely can't read appelsiinituoremehu (but I know what it means

)
I no longer make those mistakes like translating Minulla on auto as I'm a car, so I think I'll learn it

Again- big thanks for the nice words (:

In fact there was a little error in that word. It's cockcheese and it is a real word in english. If I recall correctly, it even was in sanakirja.org.

Just because someone else thought of it before you doesn't mean you made it up completely on your own (never heard it) ;-)

You can think it delusively if you want to. Basically you just translated two words and mashed them up and thought you were being original (and maybe funny). By the way you weren't. You just seem to unable accept the fact that this "great word you made up" existed a long time ago.

That I did and I thought it was funny! But I know you hate Swedes. Have fun with your language! Not visiting this thread again.

Wtf just happened? Have to once again admit that this forum is awesome: argument over one word which is not even frequently used by the Finns.

! I can't possibly think that some Finnish guy would be so redneck these days that he hates Swedes by default. It's nearly the same as saying that homosexuality is a disease, except that I know people who really think like this.

Guys, I cannot understand the meaning of this shit!!
Jos ruma on suoraa ja kaunis väärää
kuka kauniin säätää ja ruman määrää
So, the first one should be "If ugly is right and beauty is wrong"
and the problem comes with the second one- I cannot understand it!
IMO, it should be something like "who beauty___________ and ugly_____________"
Can you please help a little? (:
BTW, it's from here

You Tube

I can understand pretty much the entire song, but this part is killing me!

If ugly is straight, and beautiful wrong, who sets beautiful and orders/rules ugly.

REALLY random if you ask me.

And btw, I've started the finish course I got last Christmas.
Hyvää päivää - Hei sitten

It's so difficult! But I want to learn so bad! Talked to a finnish guy on IRC/mIRC, and he said that "there's no finn who talks that polite". Well, the course happen to be that polite, so I don't know what to do else.
