I don’t understand Finnish too well, but I do agree the swearing is amusing. Does anyone know of any places in Australia that teach Finnish??
I really want to learn, but my stupid country lacks any real culture. (Incase you haven’t noticed, I’m not very patriotic :P )

loopyloo: You’re absolutely right. I was just so amused by ButtUgly’s use of the medical term that I copied it.

By the way, although vagina is a translation for vittu, the true swearword translation would be cunt. It has the raw edged brutality of its Finnish cousin, too

Baredevil: Whereas in speech I prefer the pure and original ‘jumalauta’, at times ‘jumankavita’ seems to slip from my keyboard more often.

I forgot to mention also, that “jumalauta” has formed also other “versions”, that also directly means nothing. For example “jumankauta”, “jumankavita”, “jukolauta”, “jukoliste” and “jumantsuikka”. These somehow are often considered as a bit softer versions of “jumalauta”.
Kummeli TV-series effectively used “jumankauta jätkät” (damn you guys) to express that those guys just done something as stupid a man can possibly do. :-)
