@[email protected] I’ve seen the text below online, can you translate what it means?
Kirottu! Halkaisin hänet kahtia kuin pala balsapuuta!
kerro kuinka hyvin google translate pärjää suomella. Minulla ei ole suuria toiveita. kielioppisi on perseestä
Perkele.
Sure, I’ll be happy to translate this for you.
It translates to:
"Cursed! I split him in half like a piece of balsawood!
Tell me how well Google Translate fares with Finnish. I don’t have high hopes. Your grammar is shitty.
Damn."
The last word “Perkele” is often used in Finnish language as a swear word or to express frustration. Please note that online translations, including Google Translate, might not always be accurate, and nuances of the language might be lost.
Meh, closer than I’d have thought tbh.
