Everyone except the Finnish know that Finnish is a strange language. Here are some untypical examples of it. I have tried to translate them.
"Keksijä Keksi keksi keksin. Keksittyään keksin keksijä Keksi keksi keksin keksityksi."
Means, "Cookie the Inventor invented the cookie. After Cookie the Inventor had invented the cookie he invented the cookie to be invented."
As you can see the words in the the finnish sentence are but variations of the word "keksi", which is "cookie" (or "bisquit").
Here the Master shouts to his servant whose name is Kokko.
- Kokko, kokoo kokoon koko kokko!
- Koko kokkoko?
- Koko kokko.
- Kokko, build up the whole bonfire!
- The whole bonfire?
- The whole bonfire.
In Finnish it is necessary only to use two letters: o and k, but it's much more complicated in English (and doesn't sound so funny at all).
"Epäjärjestelmällistyttämättömyydellänsäkäänköhän. "
This is only, I repeat, only one word, not several words combined together. It is almost impossible to translate this, but I can try. Mix these words together and you'll know roughly what the word means ("not" is several times):
not is not unsystematicalish not he perhaps his too
And a dozen of more words which I can't think of. You have to study finnish for ten years before you know what that means (a ten-year-old finnish child begins vaguely understand it). But even I don't know exactly what the heck it means as it probably doesn't mean anything rational!
