7 Finnish Words You Can't Translate!

[@Cicide76536]

Reipas is a fun word! It's a good word to use on children whenever they are visiting the doctor or dentists, "Be reipas!" or "You were really reipas, good job!" meaning they did well and survived bravely. In Winnie the Pooh, Christoper Robin's name in the Finnish translations is Risto(common first name) Reipas, and for a while I thought Reipas in english is Robin 😄Kiva video!

[@siimtulev1759]

Estonian also has the exact same meaning words.. Not sure about every word you gave, but some are here: Estonian/Finnish Jaksa - Jaksaa Leil - Löyly Reibas - Reipas Kiilasjää (bald ice) - Pääkallokeli

Cool coincidence: Sanskrit word sisu with palatal sibilants ( शिशु , shishu ) means e.g. 'child', but etymologically, the verb it's derived from means 'to be strong': Etymology From Proto-Indo-Aryan *śíśHuṣ, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *ćíćHuš, from Proto-Indo-European *ḱiḱh₁-ú-s, a derivative of *ḱewh₁- (“to swell, to be strong”). Compare also शाव (śāva), with the same meaning and origin; perhaps the sense of "strength" later changed to mean "growth", and even later to mean the "young" (since they continue to grow to maturity)

[@Kansika]

You might want to look up Ior Bock and his mystical temple of Lemminkäinen, a tragic protagonist in the mythos of Kalevala. He was quite an eccentric to say the least but he does point out interesting coincidences between Sanskrit and Finno-Ugric language in his theories. Since Finnish has only recently, like 1500y recently, been affected by the Indo-European languages some have proposed a more direct linguistic link between the shamanistic proto-Aryans of the Altai region and us modern Finno-Ugrics.

@@KatChatsFinnish Jos jatketaan samalla teemalla, niin "anopinarkku" (mother-in-law's coffin) tarkoittaa leikillisesti sitä auton katolle asennettua suksien kuljetuskoteloa (a separate transport case for skis on car roof). Lähtökohtana lienee erilaiset anoppivitsit kuten yhtä kaktuslajia kutsutaan "anopinjakkaraksi" (kultasiilikaktus, latinaksi Echinocactus grusonii) aka Mother-in-law's Stool. Toinen autoiluun liittyvä termi on "pelkääjän paikka" (fearer's seat) eli matkustajan paikka etuistuimella kuljettajan vieressä (the front passenger seat of a vehicle next to driver). Leikillinen pelko syntynee siitä että ei ole itse ohjaamassa autoa vaan katsoo vain vierestä. Amerikkalaisten käyttämä termi on kylläkin "shotgun seat" eli se viittaisi ilmeisesti 1800-luvun Villin lännen hevosvankkureihin, joissa kuljettajan vieressä istui aseistettu vartija haulikon kanssa.

I found a mug which tried to defined sisu, the following way: "Extraordinary determination, courage, and resoluteness in the face of extreme adversity. An action mindset which enables individuals to see beyond their present limitations and into what might be. Taking action against the odds and reaching beyond observed capacities." My own personal example of sisu is my mother. Even after enduring 9 late term miscarriages, and have been told she should stop, she kept trying to have a child. This resulted in my birth on the 10th try.

A great abstract or academic Finnish word with no true match in English is "kokonaisuus". It means something like an aggregate of things within a subject matter context. It directly translates to "a whole", or "an entirety" but such expression is never or rarely used in English for the same semantic role, at least in my experience.

[@danielmalinen6337]

One Finnish word that most often causes me problems when translating is "maatiaiskissa" because people repeatedly ask what breed my cat is. The "cat" part of the word is easy to translate, but even though "maatiainen" usually means "landrace", in this context it has a different meaning and many Finnish cat books and associations use the explanation "ancient breed" or "free breed" or "common cat" because it is a type of cat whose reproduction has traditionally not been controlled and regulated on purpose, and its lineages are not clear, unlike in purebred cats. It is also not a mixed breed, which excludes the use of that term, and it is also not a European Shorthair, even though some of them may look externally similar. According to Kissojen Suomi and Maatiainen ry, the Finnish "maatiaiskussa" is genetically more related to the stray cats of Turkey and the Aegean region, which in a way explains the possible origin of Finnish cats and how it got here (however, there is also another "maatiaiskissa" type that is related to the Norwegian forest cat and and is also externally similar with its longer hair). I myself use the terms "non-bred" or "unbred" cat, but even those are not really satisfactory enough equivalents and solve the problem. 😅

[@yorkaturr]

At least Americans use domestic shorthair or domestic longhair for the same purpose. As in no special breed of cat, just a regular house cat. Tabby or tortoise etc is referring to a more specific hair pattern.

[@eugenepohjola258]

Barn cat.

[@ZaryaTheLaika]

We just say [dog type] landrace. Like Central Asian Shepherd landrace, collie landrace, Nihon Ken landrace, tazi landrace etc in English.

[@ZaryaTheLaika]

In Russian they use "aboriginal" to describe dogs which are unregistered but maintain a consistent type because of natural selection and human pressure. So, the free-roaming hunting laikas in Lake Baikal region would be considered "aboriginal" because commercial hunters still rely on unregistered hunting dogs to make an income from squirrel and marten pelts. And "village dogs" sometimes are used to describe free-breeding pets which are not useful for any task. Probably preferable to use "Indigenous" in English.

[@Kansika]

If it were a dog it would simply be called a rural mixed breed. The distiction between "feral" and "wild" animals is in Finnish "villiintynyt" and "villi-" which I think convey the idea quite well. Some maatiaiskissat can fall in a category between feral and domesticated cats.

Pääkallokeliin liittyen tuli mieleen sanonta "Liisan liukkaat ja Kaisan kaljamat" (nimet liittyvät nimipäiviin, päivämäärät). Kaljama on hieno sana, varsinkin jos ulkomaalainen yrittää tajuta sitä (beer 😉). Itse käsitän kaljaman jääksi, joka muodostuu, kun lumi tiivistyy tiellä paksuksi kerrokseksi (kävellään, ajetaan autolla jne.), jonka jälkeen tulee lämmin päivä ja se muuttuu paksuksi ja hieman epätasaiseksi jääksi. Silloin on pääkallokeli, luita murtuu.

Sometimes I'm a bit disturbed by the native Finnish speakers' difficulty to make a difference between 'sää' and 'keli'. (This is mainly because my mind is somewhat polluted with meteorological definitions 😄) 'Sää' means weather and 'keli' actually means the conditions on the ground, especially those affecting the transportation, like the road surface condition (ajokeli, väglag in Swedish) or, back in the days, general possibility to use a sleigh in winter (rekikeli). Often the word 'keli' is used when talking about 'sää' (but never the other way round).

Exactly. "Sää" is the atmospheric phenomena, "keli" is the the set of conditions and situations it presents for us humans.

IMO: Jaksaa is closer to "take". "Mä en *jaksa* enää." - "I can't *take* [it sic.] anymore." "Jaksatko sä?" - "Can you take it?" What you listed are also close, but further than take. Tarkenee - in spoken language - isn't neccessarily about cold, it sure is the most common, but it is about the temperature in general. Also kinda close to "jaksaa", as it can be interchanged, it will sound a bit weird, but make sense. It may have been exclusively about the cold in the past, but nowadays when someone is in full winter gear in summer, they'd get asked: "Miten sä tarkenet noissa?" How can you take it in those? Or even more generally, it'd be anything from outside of my/your/our control intruding on me/you/us. Again, all of this is IMO.

I think reipas could also be said to child if he/she has done something well that he/she was initially bit scared or hesitating to do (or go to).

[@Kansika]

This got me thinking of some more unique but useful and versatile words and expressions. These are basically in the same category but still very different. I hadn't even realized how many words we have for something that English lacks in. No wonder a Finn can feel lost for words in English since we have so many to choose from. Normally I don't think in FInnish first and then translate it to English but when I do due to complexity or subtlety, etc. it's usually because I'm looking for words like these. "Viitsiä", a tough one to decipher precisely but close to "jaksaa", maybe "to mind" as in "would you mind?" comes close which is actually one word that we don't quite have but is really useful (just like "please"). More about willingness than energy, though. An idiom from an old TV skit that kids still learn "viitsisitsäetsäviitsis ...?" is one of those gatekeepers or goal posts to fluent spoken Finnish that should be in a citizenship application questionnaire. Don't get it? Come back when you do, ole hyvä. "Kehdata", one that can have quite different meanings in different dialects as well as contexts. It's mainly used in the sense of "not embarrassed to" or "have the audacity" or "be bold enough". On the other hand my grandma from Kymenlaakso used it in many more meanings with very subtle nuances so you basically have to know the person and the context to always understand it's meaning. "Enhän mie kehtaa jtkn" when she meant she didn't want to do something but "kehtaisitko sie ojentaa...?" simply meant "could you pass me the...?". "Tohtia" is another variant with a similar function and meaning. Every native most likely still understands "vieläköhän sitä tohtis ottaa yhdet?" although It's a bit archaic. I for one use it now and then especially when the answer is affirmative as in the example..;) That wasn't the case originally but nowadays when and if used by anyone under 80y it's usually in a light-hearted and a bit comical sense. "Ehtiä". Basically "make it on time to" or "have time for", etc. but can also have connotations of willingness or eagerness. "Raaskia". Another word that has no direct translation and left me more baffled the more I thought about it. Not quite "afford to" as having enough money but more unwillingness to spend on or waste something. How would people here translate the following: "en raaskinut heittää vanhoja sukkia pois, vaikka niissä oli reikiä" and "en raaskinut ostaa uusia sukkia, vaikka vanhoissa oli reikiä"?

[@Kansika]

These just keep popping up... "Joutaa"? What do "ehtiä" and "joutaa" have in common and where/how do they differ? "Joudatko avuksi?" but also "joutaa kaatopaikalle." The prefix "jouto-" which is never used on it's own carries the meanings "useless", "sedentary" and "idle" among others . It's used for both people and objects. "Joutomies" is an unemployed and useless man, an "idle man", "joutomaa" is land that's not cultivated or built on especially in and around otherwise utilized areas, "waste land". "Joutokäynti" is the idle of an engine although it can also be "tyhjäkäynti" which means literally "empty running/going/(horse's)gait". "Käynti" however also means "a visit" or "an appointment" as in legal or medical affairs and such. My mother often asks "joudatko milloin taas käymään?" which is pretty logical since it's just means "when are you idle enough to come visit again?" "Jonninjoutava" also takes some deep level skills to decrypt. "Kelvata"? "Joutua" is even worse. "Riittää" and the derived adjectives "riittävä" which pretty much means "sufficient" and "riittoisa" which means something that lasts a long time and is highly dilutable, economical and extendable as in good detergents, broth/stock or strong spirits, etc. However "suffice" isn't very often interchangable with "riittää" as e.g. in "nyt riittää!", "that's enough!" Typötyhjä, ypöyksin, täpötäysi, putipuhdas? I just love our language; so weird and complex yet so versatile, flexible and nuanced.

[@dinosaurrawl6800]

in swedish we have "jag orkar inte" for "I dont have the energy to" and I am so excited for finnish to have this type of saying also, because to say that long phrase in english is just tiring and doesnt reeeally convey the correct meaning of "jag orkar inte"

[@TiinaSau]

jaksaa jaksaa jaksaa jaksaa jaksaa jaksaa jaksaa jaksaa ❤

[@Kansika]

Wow, you're going deep with these... If you ever find yourself having to deal with Finnish kids you're going to discover the other half of the meaning and context of "jaksaa", the other being exactly to endure or to have the energy and will power for sth, which was very well presented here. The constantly heard whining of "mä en jaksa" simply means "I really, really don't want to". Usually after having had enough of it parents send the kid to bed early that night so that he/she would "jaksaa" better the next day. The word also has a very nuanced use carrying a conditional tone between people. When asking someone out or to come along, especially in a romantic sense when you're most insecure, by asking "jaksatko?" or even more conditionally "jaksaisitko?" instead of "haluatko?" or "haluaisitko?" you leave the other person the option to decline without having to say "I don't want to" as well as being yourself able to rationalize being turned down by this mysterious lack of "jaksaminen", not the lack of will, desire, interest or attraction.

[@Tyrisalthan]

Not neccessarily. You could be reipas even if you are not bursting with joy. A child might be reipas if he/she does what they are supposed to, without delaying or having a tantrum. But reipas is more than just obediant, reipas might also have initiative to do helpful things on their own volition. Reipas also don't do things lacklusterly. The word reipas has another meaning also, it means much or a lot, or fast, or with decent power. For example if food has a lot of salt, one tasting it might say "onpas tässä reippaasti suolaa". If someone is riding a horse quite fast, they migh say "mennään reipasta ravia". Or if one is explaining how to row a boat, they might say "soutaessa tulee tehdä reippaita vetoja". The meaning is always a superlative of the average usage, but never to an extreme. The two meanings of reipas have some overlap there. All the adjectives are done as the reipas person might do them. And it implicate that reipas is a person who does things well, so well that they could be an example to their peers.

En jaksa enää. I quit. I can't stand it anymore Jaksatko? Are you sure that you have enough energy to do it? Reipas. Sprightly. Skillfully. Enthusiastic. Active. Reipas työntekija. Quick and skillfully. Reipas is not just hardworking, it is hardworking because it is his calling, he loves what he is doing. Sisu is the ability to stand against all the challenges of the live,,strong will, bravery , integrity. Never heard the word "tarjeta" . Not used in everyday conversations. Never heard the word "ruska" Pääkallokeli we never use seriously, it is more like irony, humorous word.

(Finnish Joke.) I think my husband is a murderer. How so? He put a slice of throat on the bread. No, he put a slice of cucumber on top of the bread.

[@TeroKoskinen-xy2zz]

Kurkku = throat Kurkku = cucumber

You should really add "...Translate to English". Like English seems to be a "poor" language if they really don't have a way to express "jaksaa" but you forget that Fin just adds a letter at the end while languages like English adds words plus that some words have never needed to be invented in certain areas of the planet(like fin has lots of borrowed ones to explain something not existing here when our language developed). Still "jaksaa" has no real meaning without other words or a situation or someone else saying something or or or... like it needs a "flavor" to have a meaning. Another Germanic language like Swe has "Ork/Orka" so there is a chance that English has a word for it but it could be seen as slang. Löyly "Toiselle puoliajalle päätettiin paiskoa vielä vähän löylyä lisää ja niin tehtiin." so "adding more steam". SISU has a different meaning for every Fin, like perseverance is really the correct word for it. Its just our different personal views on the word that wants to describe it differently, I didn't like the perseverance word first either but in reality that is what it is. You can also call it "the stpdity to not understand when its better to just give up" but that also goes under the description of perseverance just that perseverance contains the promise of succeeding but drives the same outcome. So my point is that you are "searching for a star in a lake". Of course some words are made to explain in regions where they are needed like Swe has ork and bad but bad can only be used in Sauna context for them and would sound odd if they used in the way that a team added more steam to the "engine". Then in violence "bad" and "löyly" can both be used. Still just trying to make my point why "....Tranlsate to English" is important in the topic because dot fckrs do exist at least now that we connected Finland to the internet.

Howdy. Sisu = stamina. Reipas = brisk, brave. Pääkallokeli = skull driving weather. Regards.

[@Tyrisalthan]

No. You could have a lot of stamina without having much sisu. And a person might have a lot of sisu without much of stamina. Both could get the job done though. For example if two men are gigging holes, one with a lot of stamina could do it with stamina alone, but the one with little stamina could continue even after their stamina has runned out, just using sisu to continue way after he should have collapsed from exhausting. Sisu is doing things with the sheer force of will. Stamina is also a physical atribute, sisu is a mental one, or perhaps a strenght of the spirit. Reipas is not brisk, since brisk could be translated to kipakka, and brave could be translated to urhea. Pääkallokeli doesn't refer to a driving weather (even though in pääkallokeli that is also bad). The main meaning is that accidents happen easily with that weather and people get hurt or die because of it.

[@eugenepohjola258]

@@Tyrisalthan Howdy. But of course. You are 101% correct. Perhaps sisu may be persistance or perceverance. And pääkallokeli may be skull outdoors conditions. Regards.
