Well, since some people need to know these (just for fun, or just so nobody can ever teach you them as something else, like 'hello') I thought I will put up this thread just to teach some of them.
Afterall, this is the only thing I know I have an adequate expertise in. sweatdrop
Ok... So let's begin.
Perkele: It's kinda like the finnish word for ********. Also it's another name for the God of Thunder, Ukko ylijumala (ukko= an old man, ylijumala= the supreme god [according to wikipedia]), in the old Finnish mythology. Though it does not have such a huge scale of use, it's still the most used curse word in the finnish language (though the word 'Vittu' is replacing it very fast).
Example of it's use: Voi perkele! [Oh ******** it could also be 'Oh s**t!')], Perkeleen tontut! [******** elves!]
Vittu: One of the words that also is sometimes translated as ********. It originally meant the v****a of a mother of five children. These days it's used as a meaning of a v****a in general. Vittu is also very popular among teenagers and young people in general and is sometimes used between every other word to give those words a strong meaning.
Example of use: Haista vittu! [******** you!], Voi vittu ku se vitun auto tuli sieltä vitun mutkasta vittu! [That ******** car came around the ******** corner!! (actually it's hard to translate this when vittu is used in between almost every other word)]
Saatana: The finnish word for satan. This word is also usually translated as ********, but it can also be translated as s**t.
Example of use: Saatanan saatana! [******** ********!], Saatanan kakara! [******** kid!]
Helvetti: The finnish word for Hell. Also usually translated as ********, though not always.
Example of use: Helvetin idiootti! [You ******** idiot!], Ei helvetissä!! [No chance in hell!!]
Paska: Not actually a curse word, but it's often used as one. It just means s**t. Nothing more. Though sometimes in the movies, the Finnish translation for the word ******** can be paska. It's not common, but I've seen it happen.
Example of use: Voi paska! [Oh s**t!], Mitä paskaa!? [What the s**t!?]
Jumalauta: Plainly, just goddamnit. Funny thing in this one is however, there is the word Jumala (god) and the word auta (help) blended together. My guess would be that it was used in the old Finnish in a manner of 'God help us all!'. Though this all is just my own speculation so I could be terribly wrong.
Example of use: Voi jumalauta! [Oh goddamnit!]
Also sometimes when a Finn hits him/herlsef with a hammer or something, they can be heard to release a curse word behemoth. Such as 'Vittuperkelesaatananhelvetinpaskajumalauta!'
I know this might not help many of you, but atleast know you know if someone is trying to teach you a dirty word instead of the proper word. 3nodding

Although your examples are ok, I'd never, ever say that "Perkele" is a word for ********. Absolutely not, no connection whatsoever. Is it used the same way than the English word "********"? Yeah, sometimes, but actually very few people these days know how to properly use this undisputed king of swearwords. Cursing is an art. All the sodding teens with no bloody sense of style whatsoever have totally ruined it by cussing left and right in normal speech. Bloody Hell scream Also.. Pikku-Timppa Voi vittu ku se vitun auto tuli sieltä vitun mutkasta vittu! [That ******** car came around the ******** corner!! (actually it's hard to translate this when vittu is used in between almost every other word)] Think of "******** the ******** ********" and you get the idea

Ahaa...no. I'm not talking about Lerppu's slang meaning... But the meaning as a floppy p***s. I guess I should have used it in a sentence.

Taalen Although your examples are ok, I'd never, ever say that "Perkele" is a word for ********. Absolutely not, no connection whatsoever. The reason I translated it as ******** is that that's actually the closest one. There is no proper way to translate it, so ******** is the only word it can be translated to. Many Finnish curse words don't really resemble the word ********, but they are translated to it, because there is no other word for it. I hope you understand what I mean. sweatdrop

Nockz the Dark Cellist How do you say those words? That, unfortunately, I can't teach. Mainly because I have no idea how I should write them so they would sound right when read. Thus, I can only say that you say them pretty much exactly like you write them. I suppose that doesn't help, though. sweatdrop

Okay, I'll try to type how to say them.
Perkele: P (soft without that extra air like we do) e(like the e in epilepsy) rrr(trilled r) k(soft k, it again, doesn't have the air) e(same e), l(this is a harsher l, because it is reflexive(?) so you kinda put your lounge behind your hard palette to make the l sounds. So it's kinda...nasely)
Vittu: V(same as english) I (like the 'ee' in 'meet') tt(a soft t sound without the air, then you pause for a split second because it's two tt's) u(kinda like the 'oo' in 'moon', but...fuller)
Saatana: S(same, maybe a little thicker) aaaa(it's like saying 4 a's...hold it out a little bit, the 'a' in father) t(same t as in vittu) a(same a) n(same as english) a(same)
Jumalauta: J(like a y) u(oo) m, a(same), l, au, (oww like, "ouch") ta. biggrin
Now you should be able to pronaunce the rest. Think of it like Japanese. Only the J sounds like a y.
