"Kusta jonkun muorihin" = "Pee in someones granma" 6/5

[@appleciderhorror12]

Consonant is followed by 1 or 2 vowels. Sometimes 3 like "vaa'an" but that's rare. Most of the time the way to pronounce things is much like in Japanese: 1 consonant followed up by the vowels until you get to the next consonant. So: "Mu-Roi-Hin". Easy when you know it, I know but plz don't pee at you grandmum. Also, ys-kä not yk-sä. Kiip on treining Aill bii watshing

The word "poro" in "palaa poroksi" doesn't actually mean reindeer in this context. "Poro" can also mean "grounds" like coffee grounds, which in Finnish can be called as "kahvinporot" instead of "kahvinpurut". So "poro" actually means "puru" in this saying, but it's just more fun for us Finns to translate it as "reindeer" than "grounds" because of the reactions 😂

[@MarkkuHanninen]

Yeah, i'd translate it to "burn to a crisp"

[@MalkWilliams]

That makes more sense! I've eaten reindeer in Finland, and it was not overcooked! Kiitos!

[@elderscrollsswimmer4833]

But it's funnier to translate it as "reindeer". Nakki too... nakkisormet, hiirennakki... And well, whatever nakki means in nakkimakkara - I mean sausage-sausage would be really weird. We have nakkimakkara, lenkkimakkara and grillimakkara. People just drop one part and call them nakki, lenkki and makkara. Saunamakkara, siskonmakkara and uunimakkara stay compound though.

[@larbakatariina1912]

I've always understood "itku pitkästä ilosta" (cry from long fun) that if like children are playing too wildly and have 'too much fun', eventually someone will get hurt in the process and therefore there'll be a cry from long fun... Dunno if that's just in my family but that's how it was meant when my mom said it 😅

[@larbakatariina1912]

To clarify: as a kid I remember playing with someone until we were both all hyper and acted all zany and then usually something bad would happen, like one kid would fall over or run into something and get a minor injury or something, if the playing was to get to that 'hyper' level

[@nakkieki]

Was about to comment the same.

[@elderscrollsswimmer4833]

Another way to interpret that: a cry for a long (lasting) joy. Somehow, I get the feeling that was the way it was taken a long time ago. Traditions like bridal lament for example... also, the way a newborn baby needs to cry. The way you struggle before learning something but it will be worth it in the end.

[@Saareem]

That's the way it was and still is used in my family. In this case, by family, I mean my closest family, father's siblings, cousins and their parents.

[@Vahlsten]

I worked at a daycare center for couple of months and after two weeks I had the knowledge how long and loud the laughter would be just before someone started crying I even set a timer on occasion just to showcase my skills for my co-workers :D 5 minutes on the dot and as the timer ran out and was about to play it's tune the tune got replaced with a cry.

[@Kameli158]

I remember hearing "itku pitkästä ilosta" a lot as a child. When kids are having fun and laughs, you can assume someone is going to cry soon.

[@marsnu]

While "poro" means a reindeer, it's also used in a word "kahvinporo" = coffee grounds. So that saying probably makes more sense if you think it like that

[@larrywave]

Poro could be translated to cinders

[@MarkkuHanninen]

@@larrywave I'd use crisp.

[@koljkimm]

To use reindeer in that is just Kummeli joke. -> Corn flakes, kornit murot: Mä tuun kellottaa sua.

[@Nrde]

and "polttaa poroksi" in the context of coffee comes when you make/cook coffee with the fire for too long i.e., boil all the fluid and are left with the grounds only. In the context of burning house is the house burn until nothing is left etc.

[@heikkiremes5661]

Never heard of LKOP in my life! Palaa poroksi has nothing to do with reindeer in this context. It just means to burn to ashes.

[@santtumoilanen3065]

Well it still says that if you get burned like verbally or literally you will turn into reindeer. Has to be right... Happened to me once.

[@nefrone]

I have _never_ heard anyone say LKOP or "luojan kiitos on perjantai".

[@marsanen2158]

"Burn to a reindeer" is a mistranslation. Poro also means ash, dust or sediment though it is a bit old-fashioned word. Nowadays you would likely hear it as "kahviporo" = "coffee sediment".

[@fuugari4395]

I loved the little windows into your brain. The weekend pastry chef got me laughing out loud!

[@astron.6482]

So when you are in nakkisuoja (sausage cover or something like that in English) you are in a place or state where you avoid that someone could "nakittaa" ("to give/assign a chore") some unpleasant chore or "nakki" to you.

[@emtee7632]

”Nakki” is a trap, a mouse trap. Nothing to do with the edible nakki.

[@markeriksson3065]

[@duckeh1952]

I have never heard Finnish version either.. maybe I am too old? But youngsters surely wouldn't use Finnish....

[@1andonlyMiro]

"poroksi" is misleading, since it also means a small particle. Coffee grounds are called kahvinporot and that makes way more sense. I feel like Dave had no chance here

[@TheEdnar83]

Generally the "pee in one's cereal" is something one does to someone else. But it's one of those very modifiable idioms. "To pee in his/her cereals" is just as valid thing to say when you've done something to sabotage someone else through your actions or choices , or "to pee in my cereal" when you've managed to sabotage yourself. It also doesn't need to be cereal, like Luugi mentioned in a previous comment, in the army it tends to be "to pee in one's pakki" where pakki is colloquialism to the container you're supposed to eat out of when out in the woods for a training camp or such. There's always an element of action though, you don't pee into someones cereal through inaction, you've had to have actively done something to get them into a bad situation.

[@Psychid5]

I think we need to deduct a point from Dave.

[@koomaj]

That burt to a reinderr is a translation issue. The person who translated it didn't know the poro is also other things than reindeer. For example, kahvin porot. Resiudue left in coffee mug. Palaa poroksi can be translated even worse as "reeturn back as reindeer" or something ridiculous like that.

[@MarkkuHanninen]

Yeah, i'd translate it to "burn to a crisp"

[@koomaj]

@@MarkkuHanninen Spot on!

[@aritakalo8011]

Oh they knew perfectly well. They just chose to run with the joke via (comically) nefarious misinterpretation. After all Suomi Dictionary is a humorous (while also informative at same time) account.

[@texdillinger6173]

"nakkisuoja" is where you go to hide when someone is trying to "nakittaa" :D it's literally it's counterpart. It's really used in the army when a sergeant is trying to assign shit assignments (nakittaa) and privates try to hide in "nakkisuoja"

[@texdillinger6173]

but it's not really sausage but hotdog, to hotdog someone. nakki = hot dog, makkara = sausage

[@kojootti78]

@@texdillinger6173 or would it be wiener? Or frankfurter?

[@leopartanen9431]

Poro means ash. The domesticated reindeer (peura) is also called poro.

[@pennart9002]

Hi Dave ”palaa poroksi” doesn’t mean nor translate to “burn to a reindeer”. The meaning of the Finnish word “poro” (aka puru, jauhe, ) is here ashes, dust (sawdust), powder. So “poro” means either reindeer or powder. Kahvin porot means coffee grounds.

[@asdertyhuikolp]

Why do I think that when you say "ymmärrän yskän" it means you understant the problem they are trying to explain. "Yskä" is the problem and you understant why its keeping them to do something

[@prowokator]

You understand it correctly. The explanation was wrong in the video.

[@Ex0rz]

Yeah i was about to comment that the explanation in the video was completely incorrect. Should be "to understand someones problem(s) or trouble(s)"...

[@aritakalo8011]

Well the "yskä" or "cough" means the signaling of there being a problem. from the classic _significant cough_ of "ahemm, cough, /" and so on. So to understand one is being coughed *at* ie. being complained to and then take corrective action. As such it is meant as "take a hint". However the other meaning also in use is that of one of "to understand a problem". One classic I have in practice is commonly with mechanical machines via complete alternate interpretation of the cough via "Why is the machine coughing/making weird noises? Oh now I see what caused the engine to cough and sputter." As is often with living language, there is multiple co-existing meanings and nuances. As is case with these. None is the ultimately correct one. There is potentially difference in how widely each meaning is understood and what weigh there is in which is seen as the more primary one along various people and groups.

[@hearteyesmf7641]

To me "ymmärtää yskän" just kinda means " I see what you're saying". For example if a friend is telling me about some small problem they have I could answer "ymmärrän yskän" meaning I understand what the problem is.

[@elderscrollsswimmer4833]

I wonder if that began with the engines 'coughing' and understanding the ''cough' meant you could fix it? Not sure if such a thing would ever happen in a modern car but...

[@raappant]

A certain type of cough can be used to give a hint when someone is doing or saying something inappropriate or there are people in the room who should not hear or see something.

[@RockUnicornCorn]

We Finns just love to rhyme so that's why the word "yskä" was chosen there, everyone understands that it means something that's wrong/problematic (as illnesses are too)🤷🏼‍♀️

[@Silveirias]

Itku pitkästä ilosta makes me think of a situation where a child is having fun by being unruly and the parent tells them to stop because they'll end up hurting themselves, but they don't until it inevitably happens and the child burst into tears. At this point the parent goes "I told you so. Now it's a cry from a long fun."

[@shake544]

yep it's very seldom that this can be used, I wouldn't say it at someone's wedding! well maybe after the wedding in a bit of a hangover, though!

[@Silveirias]

Another more adult example: you're gambling and winning and having a good time, but don't know when to stop, so it'll be a cry from a long fun when you eventually lose everything.

[@tukruperkele6036]

in my house it was "itku pitkästä ilosta, ja pieru kauan nauramisesta" = cry from a long fun, and fart from a long laugh :DDD

[@Maniagh7]

Itku pitkästä ilosta, ja pieru paljon nauramisesta

[@IceAokiji303]

2/5 (muroihin, not muorihin), 4/5, 3,5/5, 5/5, 4,9/5 3/5 (good otherwise, messed up ilosta as iloista), 3/5 (good otherwise, messed up yskä as yksä), 4/5 (good but slow) The nakki-word you're familiar with exists because of the "nakittaa" word. If "to sausage" is to assign chores, then "to hide from sausaging" is of course to avoid being assigned chores.

[@marja-liisaoja72]

From that "burn to a reindeer" thing, its like "how plenty is the bell" translates to "kuinka paljon kello on" wich means "what time is it". Also called google translation. 😃

I've always thought that the proverb: "cry from long fun" refers to little kids having a blast for an hour and then, when getting tired, flipping their shit completely.

[@Luugi]

I have always loved that "pee in one's cerials" because it's so modifiable XD You can just change the last word to fit some kind of context and everyone still understands it. For example in the military it's common to say that somebody peed in someone's "pakki" (which is the box you use to eat from, when you are out on the field). It always works when someone throws another, or worse, the whole team under the bus :P

[@shake544]

[@harripalomaki8796]

You could also use "itku pitkästä ilosta" in a slightly more literal sense, for example when little kids run around screaming and laughing until one of them collides with an unmovable object and starts bawling. Nitpicking: I'd think "frankfurter" or "wiener" would be more akin to "nakki" than "sausage". Which you, Dave, know full well is "makkara". Also, when you're handed a chore, you're supposed to dejectedly mutter "noni, nakki napsahti" = "here we go, the frankfurter snapped". Which frankfurters do unless they're "skinless".

[@HigoIndico]

"Itku pitkästä ilosta" is kind of cautionary tale of doing fun things that are also dangerous. It's like throwing darts around someone's head and in the end one dart hits an eye. It's not so much about "you shouldn't have too much fun" but about having fun in a safe way. Duudsonit are the example of the fun you shouldn't have according to this saying - loosing fingers while having fun is too much fun.

[@TheAakkoset]

[@NiiloPaasivirta]

Coffee, and eventually even the coffee substitutes, were rationed for _fifteen years_, from 1939 to 1954. I think that period was what gave Finns the "coffee tooth".

[@Jantzku]

It's definitely more like "burn to coffee grounds" than reindeer

[@christian53050]

"Itku pitkästä ilosta", has a good Swedish equivalent ..."efter skratt kommer gråt" (ask you wife :). Also, from the nitpick department, pay a bit more attention to the letter pronunciation, don't add or drop letters...remember phonetic pronunciation rules, nothing is dropped or added. That actually makes Finnish quite easy to pronounce compared to other languages (particularly English).

[@HandeToon]

Probably a bit late, but "luoja" literally means "the creator" in reference to god in Finnish. Think C-3PO saying "Thank the maker!"

[@SimoExMachina2]

"Itku pitkästä ilosta" is very clear from just observing kids who have too much fun playing something such as chase, and then someone bumbs into a table, falls down, crashes into another kid etc, and then they all just cry.

[@lauriveikkokahanpaa2747]

Added in proof: snap is knack in german and swedish.. the sound of the trap or the thin sausage being bitten off...- knack--nakki. Finns have difficulty with words beginning with 2 consonants... and also often add vowels to the end...

I wonder if "nakittaa" is due the chain of sausages. The unpleasant job falls to the one on the bottom of the hierarchy chain.

[@timmokoo5679]

I bet it actually refers to mousetraps (that are also called hiirennakit, probably because sausages were used as baits?). So it means getting caught or trapped with the task. Nakki napsahtaa. The mousetrap snaps.

[@WMfin]

There's a village in Finland called Porokylä because it burned to a reindeer back in the days

[@Kissamiess]

Nakki is some small and unpleasant extra chore. Nakittaa is the act of giving someone such task. Nakkisuoja, especially in the army, is a hiding spot where you go so that the NCO doesn't see you and will make someone else do the chore.

When you pee in someone's cereal, it's not just that you ruin something for someone, it's the enjoable act of ruining something that the other person is happy about or is enjoying (maybe even gloating about).

When burning something "poro" means literally "ash". So nothing to do with reindeers in that context. "Poro" just happens to also mean reindeer. Also "kahvinpurut" is the coffee grounds before you wet them, "kahvinporot" is after you've extracted the coffee from them, coffee dregs. So basically "porot" means "dregs" or "cinder".

[@elinaviitasaari915]

" / " Have you pissed in someone's cereals? " ( If you notice someone is treated worse than usual, maybe nakitettu to do something they usually didn't have to do.) It's like stepping on someone's shoes.

[@joelvirolainen590]

Poroksi or poroiksi means (burned) to ashes, also used for ground and roasted coffee (it's basically semi-burned). The word poro means reindeer. Unfortunately this clashes with the word poroiksi, since it means 'into reindeers' as well as 'to ashes'. Ps. There are even more awkward translations of palaa poroksi, which are 'turning back into a reindeer' and 'return to the lifestyle of a reindeer'. Yes, it's that bad.

[@juhanipitkakari5999]

Those sayings are mostly made to tune in with the other words.

[@tomibgt]

I'm not 100% agreeing with this dictionary. Other people have already critisized the "poroksi" being "to a reindeer" here, and I also think it means "grain" in this case. Also, I think "pissata jonkun muroihin" means "to spoil someone's day", but that is quite a new saying (cereals are rather modern thing). And also, I've only heard of TGIF - this is the first time I encountered this LKOP-translation. ("Luoja" is "(The) Creator", by the way, and can be used in the divine meaning, as well as the creator of something more mundane. "Luoda" is "to create".)

[@tomibgt]

Most commonly I've heard "kusta muroihin" is in a question: "Kuka nyt on kussut sun muroihin?" ("Who's peed into your cereal this time?") when someone appears to be upset.

When someone is grumpy/moody, you can ask did someone piss in their cereal. Nakittaa is actually to wiener. Nakki is wiener, sausage is makkara. Nakki napsahti = wiener snapped -> I was nominated to do something (unpleasant).

Nakkisuoja is for when you manage to avoid getting Nakitted

[@NiiloPaasivirta]

Nobody says LKOP. I had never even seen it as an acronym.

[@ShadowOfMoria]

I think ymmärtää yskän just means to understand what the problem or the thing is about, but usually related to a problem or a thing of a negative connotation?

[@ShadowOfMoria]

Also I think your pronunciation has gotten a lot better

[@elderscrollsswimmer4833]

No need for negative connotation. I think "yskä" is like noise-out-of-mouth you may or may not understand...

[@oivaaho6932]

I think "Burn to a reindeer" is wrongly translated. A word "Poro" has multiple meanings. 1. This animal🦌 2. Ash or powder (For example, used coffee powder is "kahvinporot" on Finnish. Real Translate for "Palaa poroksi" is burn to ashes or burn to powder. 3. There is one meaning more. When sun shines, se say: Aurinko(sun) porottaa. Saying "palaa poroksi" is NOT related to reindeers. Btw i know that because i have lived my whole life in Finland.

[@elderscrollsswimmer4833]

A bit more about the Sun: paistaa is more common - porottaa is kind of also commenting how hot it is. Paistaa is also related to heat... goes with all sorts of cooking.

[@oivaaho6932]

@@elderscrollsswimmer4833 You're right. But i am not so good at english and i had no idea how to tell about warm.

The audio level on this video was a bit low. Had to up the volume quite a bit.

"Itku pitkästä ilosta, pieru kauan nauramisesta, pierusta lisää iloa ja sitten taas itketään" so the rest of it goes "...fart from laughing too much witch makes you laugh again and that leads to crying"

[@christian53050]

Yes, "palaa poroksi" has really been misunderstood by your source...no wonder you were confused. Plus, I don't understand the LKOP bit, never heard it used. Perhaps it is some newfangled thing.

[@jounisuninen]

"Matti kukkarossa" does not refer to the name Matti but to the chess term "Checkmate" (in Finnish shakki-matti). So, game over (no money in the purse).

[@tonituomanen3113]

LKOP and TGIF, I have never heard those. 🤔 I´m a Finn. I know YOLO and OMG, but not TGIF. "Palaa poroksi" does not mean reindeer, but "poroksi" means also to dust, to ashes.
