Pining for the fjords, are you?


Yay, now I know 2 words in Finnish, and one I can say in public=)


<I assume that when I hear a thunk sound on teamspean, and then perkele perkele perkele it isn't something warm and fuzzy, especially when the swede, the dane and the brit giggle at him>

Funny how swearwords are the first ones people learn...

I wouldn't mind seeing some fjords Dad's family is originally from Stavanger, Rogaland, Norway. He's been there, I haven't.

Well, "Perkele" means, very roughly "bloody hell". It's certainly not the worst Finnish swear-word.

Meanwhile, "loška" is probably not actually Finnish - most likely it is Sámi. The Sámi are natives of Lapland and live in the northernmost parts of both Finland and Sweden, and they have their own language and culture. They could be thought of as the local equivalent to Red Indians.
