May 15, 200817 yr What kind of twisted mind invents a language like this? Suomen jalkapallomaajoukkueen kärkipelaaja Mikael Forssell aloitti varusmiespalveluksensa torstaina Lahden Urheilukoulussa. Ensimmäiseen päivään kuului totuttuun tapaan varusteiden hakeminen varusvarastolta. How can jalkapallomaajoukkueen and varusmiespalveluksensa be words? The ink industry must make a killing!!
May 15, 200817 yr Author What kind of twisted mind invents a language like this? I'd like to ask the Welsh the same question. At least we know how to use vowels... How can jalkapallomaajoukkueen and varusmiespalveluksensa be words? Easy...you just ram loads of words together to make bigger words. jalkapallomaajoukkueen = football national team's varusmiespalveluksensa = his military service
May 15, 200817 yr What kind of twisted mind invents a language like this? I'd like to ask the Welsh the same question. At least we know how to use vowels... How can jalkapallomaajoukkueen and varusmiespalveluksensa be words? Easy...you just ram loads of words together to make bigger words. Which is what the Welsh do: Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, which translates as: "The church of St. Mary in the hollow of white hazel trees near the rapid whirlpool by St. Tysilio's of the red cave". Not to be confused with The church of St. Mary in the hollow of white hazel trees near the rapid whirlpool by St. Tysilio's of the green cave, obviously No idea what this one means though: Tetaumatawhakatangihangakoauaotamateaurehaeaturipukapihimaungahoronukupokaiwhenu aakitanarahu It's in New Zealand apparently. And from Thailand we have: Krungthepmahanakornamornratanakosinmahintarayutthayamahadilokphop nopparatrajathaniburiromudomrajaniwesmahasatharn amornphimarnavatarnsathitsakkattiyavisanukamprasit
May 15, 200817 yr Aargh I see how it works - so it would be like us saying crazyscandinavianswhohavelostsightoftheimportanceofbreathingwhilstspeaking By the way a defence constituting purely of 'we are not as bad as the Welsh' is not advisable! Nick Leeson tried it and he was referring to Micky Thomas!

May 15, 200817 yr They've got a football team, you know. Krungthepmahanakornamornratanakosinmahintarayutthayamahadilokphop nopparatrajathaniburiromudomrajaniwesmahasatharn amornphimarnavatarnsathitsakkattiyavisanukamprasit Wanderers. They've only got one chant. Shortly after kickoff, this huge fat bloke starts them off with "I'll give you a k-ay-ay... " And on a good day they manage to get to "and what have you got" just before the final whistle, but by that time over 95% of the crowd are too knackered to deliver the punchline.
May 15, 200817 yr Author See...our words are not that long and complicated. The best we can manage is atomiydinenergiareaktorigeneraattorilauhduttajaturbiiniratasvaihde. The Swedish on the other hand have this: nordöstersjökustartilleriflygspaningssimulatoranläggningsmateriel-underhållsuppfölningssystemdiskussionsinläggsförberedelse-arbeten Even we split that into separate words when we translate it.

May 16, 200817 yr Ignoring all the very poor jokes on this thread about a language we do not speak can anyone please actually tell me just why Mika is dressed like that!!!?!???
May 16, 200817 yr Author Ignoring all the very poor jokes on this thread about a language we do not speak can anyone please actually tell me just why Mika is dressed like that!!!?!??? He's started his military service.
May 16, 200817 yr Author He's started his military service. no, hes started his varusmiespalveluksensa Well yes, if you want to write Finglish.
May 16, 200817 yr He's started his military service. no, hes started his varusmiespalveluksensa Presumably instructed to assemble at the hottentottententententoonstellingsparkeerterrein.

May 16, 200817 yr Presumably instructed to assemble at the hottentottententententoonstellingsparkeerterrein. Now you're just making up words... Certainly not, what do you think I am, Finnish?
May 16, 200817 yr Ignoring all the very poor jokes on this thread about a language we do not speak can anyone please actually tell me just why Mika is dressed like that!!!?!??? He's started his military service. f**k Me. With his injury record playing football, is that a bad move or what?
May 16, 200817 yr Author Bad move or not, he doesn't have much choice. Well, there's prison and the non-military service, but serving the shortest possible military service, he will get it done with the least amount of distraction to his football career abroad.
May 16, 200817 yr Author How long will his military service last? Six months, but he'll be serving in the Sports School at Häme Regiment where practically all Finnish top athletes serve, so the service schedules are tailored in a way that the athletes' training suffers as little as possible. They get to train as regularily as possible, although I'm not sure where Forssell would train. Maybe he will train with FC Lahti, which is a local football club in the city where the Häme Regiment is situated in.
May 16, 200817 yr With his injury record playing football, is that a bad move or what? can see it now "right lads, were gonna charge the enemy" "hang on sarge, i cant. my hamstrings gone again"
