Vittu perkele

[Finnish Swede]

Vittu perkele

Question goes: Are you able to pronounce those correctly? Finns v or p (in the beginning of words), r and k ... are pretty strong.

For example any native English speakers or for any Germanics .... those are ''out of range''. Who knows, maybe Hungarians could do better job? But even Estonians (or Finnish Swedes) will pronounce those too softly vs mad/angry Finn :p

You do know Perkele is the finnish god of thunder?

Never heard this before, so I had to check it. Google revealed that it is from a 40 years old Swedish TV serie:

Google translation

I also dug up why so many Swedes only know this Finnish text: “Lots of snow, but no flashlight”. The sentence dates back to the Jönssonligan films made since the 1980s, which tell of three criminals. In the film Jönssonliiga in Mallorca, the robber speaks Finnish to the hotel porter to lead the suspicions to criminals with a Finnish background. Of course, nothing else is needed. After all, we Finns are more likely to be robbers than outspoken Swedes.

No totally bad :p.

''Kebab-finnish''' but not the worst kind of. Just like almost everyone, you should someway put more strength/power one the first letters of those words. And still same time keep those letters short.

Satan - Perkele Saatana

Satan is a Biblical name. Perkele comes from the Slavic-Baltic Perkunas, which was an ancient East European god. After the conversion to Christianity the church gave to all pagan gods a parallel meaning with Satan.

Understandable, but sounds incorrect. This is better, hopefully works overseas.

1. Select Finnish

2. Type texts

It says always "tämä on demo" (this is a demo) and then the text.
