>>151902
In Finland we have this swear word ”p*rkele” which is considered the most powerful swearword both locally and globally. Originally it meant the thunder god but nowadays it is more like the d*vil or a demon. It has no direct tr*nslation because it is such unique a word. Isn’t that crazy??
>>151914 I thought jumalauta was the strongest Finnish swearword?????
>>151923 G*dboard isn’t that powerful. Estonians use it with even less power than fingols so it is pretty c*strated in the profanity sense I actually once developed a linguistic hierarchy based on swear words Tier 1 - excr*ment Tier 2 - s*xual organs and their application Tier 3 - judeo-christian spirituality Tier 4 - ancient/pagan spirituality The higher the tier, the higher the ranking. H*ll which is derived from Hel and Helgård and its other local variants is in tier 3 as it nowadays has been appropriated into the christian punishment realm instead of its paganic origin. There is also another ranking system which is basically a score where you add the tier numbers together every time a language has words like ”sh*t”, ”f*ck” and ”h*ll” you have 1+2+3 =6 as its score (the higher the better) This needs an update as I’ve been more exposed to middle eastern profanities via my friend. It seems the local usage is more focused on saying bad things about other people’s (most often female) relatives which I previously put in tier 2 as ”son of a b*tch” is related to using s*xual organs, but the use of such words is so prominent within the neo-European circles I’m considering making them a new tier. A logical place would be to put them between the old tiers 2 and 3 as it is above animalistic urges and shows recognition of familial relations, but lacks the finesse of imported spirituality. This update would give English the score of 10 and Finnish the score of 15
>>151941 Can't help but notice that racial slurs are completely excluded from your ranking system. Those would honestly probably be the strongest and most offensif in an IRL real life context.
>>151949 I don’t categorise slurs as swear words. I find them to be 2 different things under the umbrella of nasty language
>>151953 I think it depends on the context tbh. Some people definitely use slurs as (super powerful) swear words in certain situations.
>>151957 That is true but as a product of my surroundings I have produced a highly local system which treats them as separate categories. We could take the new tier 3 with all that ”you’re mother is a wh*re” related stuff and split it into: Tier 3 - slurs based on assumed/imaginary traits Example: I don’t know if you have a brother and if you do I don’t know who he’s attracted to, but I can still call him a f*ggot Tier 4 - slurs based on factual traits Example: I’d go tell a black guy he’s a n*gger HOWEVER!!!!!! There is a problem here. Say we met someone with dark curly hair and a slightly different nose. If we were like ”f*cking k*ke”, would we be in which tier?? For a while I thought the youtuber Farrell McGuire was jewish but he’s not. If someone antisemitic commented that to him based on his appearance it would be a misplaced assumption but a logical conclusion inferred from empirical evidence available. The same applies for example if a big woman is called a tr*nny despite being XX. Splitting the new tier 3 into 2 tiers (even subtiers) would produce a shaky system One thing worth noting is that my system is not based on power and impact but variation, cultural heritage, complexion, plasticity etc. One can say ”s*atanan p*ska”, but ”s*tan’s sh*t” doesn’t really make sense. This means finnish cursing can be thought as having more plasticity than english cursing Furthermore, when it comes to adding slurs to the hierarchy, what about objects related to swear words?? The friend I mentioned earlier wanted to say ”wh*re” less frequently so she started calling everything ”*nal plugs” instead. In ”v*ttu” she also occasionally replaces the i with an a and say ”vattu”, raspberry, instead. Considering all these things would make the system too heavy to function as a simple ranking system
>>151963 I think swearing and curse words are fairly unique in a lot of languages (for instance, there are a lot of swear words/phrases in Dutch involving cancer), and Finnish itself is a very unique language (to say the least), so it only makes sense that swear words in it are unique as well. English has its own pretty amusing constructions though, and you can get pretty creative with it. You can say stuff like "holy shit, this fucking shit is totally fucking fucked, fuck me sideways, for fuck's sake" and it will make total sense. Well, those are just euphemisms, and I think whether they can be considered swear words sor not also depends on the context, yeah. You've given it quite a bit of thought, I see. Pretty amusing.
>>151996 English has those yeah, but I’d argue those are based on the fact that ”f*ck” is both a noun and a verb with a concrete meaning which lets one combine it easily with other words and phrases. Saying ”f*ck me sideways” makes sense while ”sh*t me sideways” (both a noun and a verb too) doesn’t as the latter would involve being eaten and digested etc., while the former also carries the classical degrading idea that to be f*cked is bad (the hierarchy of male and female roles etc.) so it becomes very potent when used by a guy. The *nalysis of the word ”f*ck” would open sp many paths of thought I must restrict myself before I write even more walls of text >You've given it quite a bit of thought, I see. Pretty amusing. Yeahhh 🥹
its a funny scene & san francisco cocksucker swedgin
>>152007 back when I was dealing with machine alarms more often I started adding finnish swears to my outbursts because english was getting too repetitive
>>152007> ”sh*t me sideways” (both a noun and a verb too) doesn’t Or it can be said as a funny ESL shitpost like vidrelated. >I must restrict myself before I write even more walls of text I don't mind. I'm something of a writer (and reader) of voluminous walls of text myself. You can post walls of text at me all day. You and Deko are probably the first two Finns I've met who are very talkative and sociable. Which is nice. Most Finns are very taciturn and reserved. Which is fine too btw, but it can be taken as coldness. >>152010 Yea-yea.
>>152017 Nice! Roll that R when saying p*rrrrrrekeLE!!! >>152018 That’s a weird vid lmao. Reminds of this one wnb-vampire (iirc) who was posting edgy photos and drawings with texts like ”poison killer squad lider”, ”are you wanna die” and ”what did you said” It’s nice to write and talk A LOT, but I need a topic that inspires me. You probably have the same??? Deko is a smart fellow and so seem to be you, so it’ fun to post with you guys!
>>152032>”are you wanna die” and ”what did you said” I remember people spamming those exact phrases even on old soypsylauta. >I need a topic that inspires me. You probably have the same Yeah. Linguistics happens to be one of them. I did teach myself English completely from scratch after school failed to teach me even basic English grammar after all. Not that I was trying to learn anything at the time, lol. I was a rascal and a rebel who constantly played hooky and didn't do his hw. >Deko is a smart fellow and so seem to be you, so it’ fun to post with you guys! Likewise.
>>152036 That’s impressive! Did you teach yourself King’s (formerly Queen’s) English or ’murican?? The nice thing about it being a lingua franca is that you have to live under a rock not to be exposed to it and then you take it in like a sponge absorbing this and that along the way
>>152043 It's kind of a silly story, and funnily Ylilauta played an important part in it. I've never actually told anyone about this, so you'll be the first. I started teaching myself English maybe a few months before I came to Ylilauta. Obviously, at the time I already knew some words and phrases from playing games with an English voice over, but my knowledge of the language as a whole was pretty basic. I would learn grammar and stuff and apply it on the go by shitposting. It was kind of weird to post with my spurdoball, and no one believed that I was from actual fukken Kyrgyzstan anyway, so for a few years I posted with an American VPN, and my goal back then was to write as well as a native American English speaker and make sure no one could tell. To that end, I obsessively used google and checked every single sentence and post to make sure it sounded natural and grammatically correct. That's how I ended up turning into a burger spy. :^) >you have to live under a rock I guess I was. The problem is that most foreign media here is dubbed in Russian, so really I was only ever exposed to English speech in Rockstar games (they never dub their games).
>>152059 And yeah, at some point I started reading books, playing games and watching movies/shows entirely in English. Without subtitles. You could say, I fully immersed myself in the language.
>>152059>no one could tell That I wasn't one, obviously.
>>152059 That’s pretty cool!! You’ve learned so well I thought you’d have known the language for ages. I’m really impressed because of how well you’ve done it and also because I’ve tried the same with Italian(s) on 4chan and it’s not as easy as one could think especially if people talk about local stuff no foreigner has any idea about I think it’s pretty mysterious that your country spurdo is real. I too suspected it to be a VPN at first but nope. How many languages do you know?? At least 2 >>152061 Must have felt pretty nice. My uncle studied mandarin and cantonese so he could watch kung fu movies without subs but idk how well he understands them
>>152070 the truth is, lots of ameris write horribly nowadays, to the point where I almost suspect people of being foreigners if they spell well. on a side note, I was reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haltija last night, and the page could definitely use going over to fix some of the finnglish, but I'd need a native speaker to help make sure I'm interpreting correctly
>>152076 I speak Russian natively, English as a second language and I can read Ukrainian fairly well (understanding about 90% of what I read), Ukrainian and Russian enable me to understand a bit of Polish, but not well enough to, say, read a whole article and fully grasp what it's about. >I’ve tried the same with Italian(s) on 4chan and it’s not as easy as one could think especially if people talk about local stuff no foreigner has any idea about Yea, it was pretty challenging and I nearly gave up a few times, but kept motivating myself to continue learning and perfecting it. >I think it’s pretty mysterious that your country spurdo is real. Yea. I guess my country's population is almost identical to Finland's, but Kyrgyzstan is not represented nearly to the same degree on the global stage. >Must have felt pretty nice I have a tendency to grow bored once I acquire a skill or get something that I really want. I'd love to learn drawing, but I'm worried I'll just go "meh, I can draw like a Japanese manga artist now, so what". It would still be cool to be able to draw well, though. >>152079>lots of ameris write horribly nowadays Yea. I've seen it a few times.
Of course, after years of hanging around Finns I now have an extremely rudimentary knowledge of the lingua esoterica (Finnish). Just a few random phrases and words really.
>>152079 Why do ameris write ”MichEAl” and ”athIEst” etc?????? >>152081 Do many people speak russian over there or is it like an elite language (english in India for example) or just a minority?? I didn’t realise Polish is that close to Ukrainian but it makes sense because the countries touch each other etc Kyrgyztan is located in a place many people know only thanks to the slightly less factual representation of the region in Borat. It’s near important events but manages to stay hidden. If I’m completely honest I don’t know anything about the place other than that it’s ex-soviet and somewhere maybe east of Kazakhstan. Maybe there’s oil and mountains and steppe and maybe even throat singers Btw did you post a photo of a lake and a mountain years ago on ylis?? Or something like that. I remember someone doing that and the said person was from a remote place either in or close to Russia. You used ylis and live in an ex-soviet place, so it could be you
>>152084 Russian is basically the lingua franca here. All kinds of ethnic groups use it to communicate with each other. Sure, you could say it's like English in a non-English speaking country. >If I’m completely honest I don’t know anything about the place It's just a much smaller Kazakhstan, basically. Obviously, Kazakhstan is completely misrepresented in Borat, so I'm not sure if the movie has any bearing on real life, lel. There are mountains here. Kazakhstan is mostly barren steppe and Kyrgyzstan is much more mountainous. We also have one of the biggest lakes in the world here. No oil, but quite a few huge gold deposits. > Btw did you post a photo of a lake and a mountain years ago on ylis?? Or something like that. I remember someone doing that and the said person was from a remote place either in or close to Russia. You used ylis and live in an ex-soviet place, so it could be you It's possible. I haven't been to that lake in ages (since I was a kid, actually), but I may have posted a pic of it from the internet maybe.
>>152086 I see! That makes sense. I was almost right about stuff which means I’m supersmart! Is the big lake you speak of Baikal?? I think it’s somewhere around there. If you ever come to Finland bring some gold with you pls~<3
>>152091>I was almost right about stuff which means I’m supersmart! To the surprise of no one. :^) I mean, you do seem fairly well-read and wise. >Baikal Baikal is in Siberia (Russia). The lake here is called Issyk-Kul. If you read about it, you might learn a certain morbid fact related to an important event in the history of medieval Europe. >If you ever come to Finland bring some gold with you pls~<3 I will bring a whole mountain and we'll turn Suomi into Kultasuomi. I'm talking bling, swag and shiz.
>>152096 I also love rats so you could bring me a few (without a plague) and a mountain of gold and all that stuff when you come here thx
>>152084 regarding the first, I have no idea and have wondered where that came from as well. regarding the second, something to do with 26 letters for 45 sounds and english is a mongrel language >english in India for example poor example, everybody under 40 knows some english there, the overwhelming majority of public signs are in english
>>152097 I might bring a couple and make sure they're plague free. Gold and everything, too.
>>152098 Yeah it’s so strange that people have been inspired to listen to Micheal Jackson by a movie about Michael Jackson. They could literally read the description and be like ”oh it’s ae and not ea”, but nope. I wonder if such people receive or recieve things The India example is poor I admit. A romantic like me obviously imagined the good old days instead of the future space power with rockets fueled by human 💩 >>152100 I’m waiting for you to come. Since you haven’t acquired the rats yet, I want 4 females. Then they can keep each other company, don’t reproduce (no Jurassic park scenarios) and have better social skills than male rats (idk why). I have their names thought out already and they’ll be: Basileia the queen of Ratlantis 🐀 Hippolyta the queen of Ratmazons (the biggest one) 🐀 Louhi Pohjanrotta 🐀 Countess Erzsébet Rathory 🐀
>>152104 I think females of some species can reproduce without males. Probably not rattes though (don't take my word for it). >Basileia the queen of Ratlantis 🐀>Hippolyta the queen of Ratmazons (the biggest one) 🐀>Countess Erzsébet Rathory 🐀 Ebin. >Louhi Pohjanrotta 🐀 Spooky.
>>152111 That’s what I meant by the Jurassic park scenario. All the dinos are female but they have created them with the DNA of a frog that can turn itself male if needed -> eggs -> baby dinos. Rats can’t do that. My intuition says that amphibians are the most developed animal genre that can do stuff like that, as they have better regenerative abilities than mammals, reptiles and birds (axolotls for example). If the body drops the part that makes the frog girl and then regenerates a boy part you get tadpoles and if you do some scifi that happens with cloned dinosaurs too
>>152120 Oh ye, I see. t. watched Jurassic Park ages ago and don't remember anything apart from the cool scenes where dinos appear.
>>152122 Basically 2 things go wrong: (1) the dinos produce new dinos (2) the fat lord of lard sabotages the place and the dinos escape
>>152123 Lol, I remember that moron.
>>152125 I remember being scared by the movie as a kid but the scene when they see the long-necked dinos eating from the trees in peace gives a nice moment of tranquility and they are so cute too and I loved that scene
>>152137 Oh yeah. Classic scene seared into my memory and then the brachiosauruses go pröööööht.
>>152157 Did you know that the reason why dinos could sustain themselves with plants while being bigger than humans who can’t just survive on salad is that they had such a super long digestive system that it absorbed all the nutrients out of the leaves. Cows can’t fit a similar system inside themselves because they are obviously a lot smaller than dinos so they eat, p*ke in their mouth, swallow the p*ke etc. instead to give the food more time and opportunities to absorb. Humans just eat and the food goes through a 6-7 metres long tube which is way too short for salad
>>152176 I have. Evolution is pretty crazy. But don't cows (and sheep too, I think) also have multiple stomachs/stomach compartments to help with this kind of thing?
>>152183 Yeah they move the food from one stomach to another so it can be used more efficiently and that’s also why they are constantly chewing on something like an american would be chewing gum (making less eating noises though and maybe eating with their mouth shut, go animals)
>>152194 Cows really do be like that. Well, let's not insult our American friends. Some of them are pretty cool on here. Anyway, I'm in bedst now and will probably watch some cozy show to relax. It was really lovely chatting with you and I hope you stick around the board and we can talk some more. I'll say gnst now, because I'm not sure when I'll actually fall asleep.
>>152212 Gnst to you and enjoy your show and rest so you can talk to me tomorrow too
