How not to f*k up Finnish language
Re: How not to f*k up Finnish language
Hear, hear! I've been asked to check machine translated text before. Very strange...Hank W. wrote:Do *not* use machine translators. Just send the damn English manual, you'll seem far less idiotic...

Is this for a kiddies wading pool or some kinky sex fetish guide?
Set in immediately!
1.Finding one clean and open place, move in sharp objects like small pebbling. Draw the puddle out and spread. Notice, dont spread on the soft bottom, but on the hard rubber back.
2. Take his rubber-back and spread.
3. Shower 2cm high wota first and place the rubber back and the puddle bottom parts in place. (Three people fit nicely if you shower 183 or 244 cm high wota. ) Shower the puddle full after that. Whence the water surface is 6,5 cm under the top, make tap go shutten. The rubber back will erect showering.
4. Push the rubber back in when you withdraw.

Brochures rendered meaningless by internet translator
A German town had to pulp its English language tourism brochure after using a computer to translate the original text.
Officials at Homberg-an-der-Efze used an internet translating tool to cut costs but the results were largely meaningless.
Visitors were promised "casual value", the literal translation of a German word for "leisure potential", at the "free bath", or "open-air swimming pool".
Martin Wagner, mayor of the small town which lies north of Frankfurt, told Expatica.com: "We blundered."

DO not be polite when speaking Finnish! No "please" or "thanx"! Finns start to think you make fun fun of them. Use one of those in your conversation:
