Help with a quick translation (you might laugh)

[Oipoikka]

I wouldn't normally ask but I'm having some troubles trying to figure out this conversation. It is between my GF and her brother but I'm too embarrassed to ask. Kiitos! Minä rakastan Suomea. (I'm very new to the language. Sorry).




Antti : Tosta on se Haapion Topin ottama parempi kuva, jossa sulta oli päässy juuri flatus. Siitä ilmeni riemumielistä olemusta.

Elisa : Paskan marjat! Se oli Mika!

Elisa : Ja on muuten tosi kivaa, kun nolaat miut täällä julkisesti, vaikken ole tehnyt mitään...!

Antti: There’s a better picture of that (situation), taken by Topi Haapio, where you had just passed a flatus. It portrayed an(/your?) ebullient essence.

(flatus = Latin for “fart”. Not normal Finnish, more like medspeak. Used here for humorous effect, of course, just like the other “big words”)

Elisa : Paskan marjat! Se oli Mika!

Elisa: Bullshit! That was Mika!

Elisa : Ja on muuten tosi kivaa, kun nolaat miut täällä julkisesti, vaikken ole tehnyt mitään...!

Elisa: And by the way, it’s so nice for you to embarrass me here publicly even though I’ve done nothing!

[Oipoikka]

Thank you! It's usually easy for me to read but this was very hard. Kiitos!

Siitä ilmeni riemumielistä olemusta.

It portrayed an(/your?) ebullient essence.

I guess this might have been the hardest part. A bit more literal translation would go:
“It (the picture) manifested some joyous being” (“being” in the sense of “every cell of his being”; but more specifically “olemus” means the outwardly visible essence and whole of someone; the combined physical and mental “outward appearance” someone is showing in a given situation.)

Oipoikka, no one can blame you for not understanding that.

That's a strange conversation, and especially the part "siitä ilmeni riemumielistä olemusta".
The guy is just trying to be poetic and witty/funny, I guess, but that sounds strange to say the least and might even be incorrect - "ilmenee olemusta" sounds somewhat wrong to me but dunno for sure.

Please don't try to speak like him

I think that "Siitä ilmeni riemumielistä olemusta" is just VERY bad Finnish and I think that it is meant to mean "Siitä seurasi yleinen naurunrähäkkä" ( It resulted in everybody laughing ).

in other words :

"riemumielinen olemus" = hilarity
and the word "ilmeni" is not correct in that context and it should be "seurasi"

Fart might have resulted general hilarity, but the picture might convey it.

I think that the guy is speaking in a very casual style and he does not use the words "ilmetä" and "olemus" as they are used in standard Finnish.

I think that in some parts of Finland in local speech it would be possible to say "Siitä ilmeni nyrkkitappelu" instead of "Siitä seurasi nyrkkitappelu" ( It resulted in a fist-fight ).

Perhaps it is also possible that in some local speech the word "olemus" can be used to mean the same as the word "olo" ( feeling ).
So a question like "Mikä on olo tänään ?" could be "Mikä on olemus tänään ?" I am not sure if this is possible but it would not surprise me at all if it was.

[JerryD]

hmmm... i disagree a bit there, kalmisto. i don't think he is trying to be casual at all, on the contrary. imo it's quite common that people use old-fashioned language or complex sentences with fancy words in a joking manner. they just want to kid around with words, and as they don't really use language like that everyday - they make mistakes. At least this was my initial thought on that sentence.

I would be very very surprised if 'olemus' was used like that somewhere too.

[Pursuivant]

Such mirth of a lady farting. I read it with a pun on deliberate spoonerisms ilme vs. ilmetä and olo vs. olemus. It is a picture, so the picture conveying the mirth... And dingleberries said the lady.

You say that you are very new to the language. If that is true it is absolutely amazing how you managed to write down the conversation ( above ) between your girlfriend and her brother. The words are correctly spelled and your memory powers are extraordinary.

More likely he is spying on her, reading her private e-mails and letters, or watching her on secret cameras while playing with himself... what a pervert!

... OK that was uncalled for, but I am a little bored today and full of cold Need something to cheer me up a bit, hopefully Jokerit win today!
