"sillai"
osaan puhua ihan hyvää suomea, mutta halusin tietää jos joku vois selittää mulle mitä tarkoittaa "sillai" englannin kielessä ja millo sitä vois käyttää? emmä oo oikeesti löytäny mitään sanakirjoista tai netista. kiitos!
Re: "sillai"
I don't believe I've ever heard the word/term "sillai" used before. Just from the structure of the word I expect it is an abreviation or is adopted from some other language. If I could see it used in a sentence I might have an appropriate answer for you (then again, I might not 
)

It is a shortening (dialectical?, at least it is used in western parts) of "sillä lailla".

If "sillai" comes immediately after the word "tai" ( or ) it means "something in those lines".
joka kymmenes vuosi tai sillai = every 10 years or something in those lines
And here it means something utterly different : Oletko ollut tyttökaverisi kanssa sillai ? ( Have you been with your girlfriend in THAT way ? ) In other words: Have you had sexual intercourse with your girlfriend ?

Re: "sillai"
Huh, "sillai" is the most common word in Finnish, after "on" and "v!%#". 
In English, I think you ought to stick to the phrase "in a way".

I guess that Sn0bunni better pay attention to how "sillai" (sillä lailla) is used when someone is speaking Finnish to her.kalmisto wrote:mrjimsfc

Re: "sillai"
depends on what you're talking about but usually sillai means "in that kinda way". it's a slang version of sillä lailla which basically means the same but takes more time to say and isnt so relaxed version so people rather say sillai.
Re: "sillai"
You ask: Why all stubit road in finland goes the WRONG way.
Somepady: It just goes thath way here. In this case Thath way can be transwerred sillai. Usually peoples say "sillein" it means same but its used more.
