Hello, I'm new to this guild. First, I just wanted to say, WOW. This place blows my mind at all the fluent Finnish.
I wanted to have something translated for me, but I'm kind of embarrassed since it's a swear phrase. It's the only thing I [possibly] know in Finnish but I want to make sure I'm pronouncing it correctly. I wouldn't want to disgrace my Great Grandma. See, my mother heard her say it when she was little and then she told my sister and myself. So during the years, we could have slowly been changing it.
Okay, so the phrase I'm asking about is, "son of a b***h." >.>;;; Oh, and does Rantanaan sound like a Swedish//Finnish last name? Just curious.
Thank you!

Thank you! Well... I'd translate "Son of a b***h" like... 'Huoran penikka' or 'Äpärä' First one is direct translation and second actually means Child who have born outside marriage (which makes his/hers mother a b***h.) Rantanaan doesen't, could it be Rantanen or Ranta Ranta means a shore or a beach, and Rantanen is small shore or Beach

Spelling I'm just guessing based how we prounced it. I guess over the years of it being passed down, things were changed.
Rantanaan, again, is just how my mom is guessing it's spelled. It's supposedly the last name of my mother's side of the family who were Sweds//Finns. The story behind that name is quite interesting. We never found out if the story was true of false though.

How to I pronounce the Y and L? I was wondering about the ruotsalainen oo but I figured out that letter is only used in Swedish.
How would I saw, I want to speak Finnish in Finnish?
I know it probably is not Minun haluta puhua suomen. (I have got to study the grammar.)

Shokai How to I pronounce the Y and L? I was wondering about the ruotsalainen oo but I figured out that letter is only used in Swedish. How would I saw, I want to speak Finnish in Finnish? I know it probably is not Minun haluta puhua suomen. (I have got to study the grammar.) Well... I'm terrible at trying to explain how to pronounce something in finnish, but you could say that atleast Y is pronounced pretty much like "you" but sort of like you'd start from the middle. (terrible explanation, but if you get what I mean, that's great. sweatdrop ) And for the translations... "I want to speak finnish" It's translated: "Minä haluan puhua suomea" or "Minä tahdon puhua suomea" I can't explain to you all that fancy grammar stuff about why it translates like that, but there are many helpful topics around here that might do the trick. 3nodding
