yksi vitsi!

Post by weijie » Thu Mar 10, 2011 4:10 pm

I found a joke, I do not fully understand the meaning,
mikä on 'suivaantuneena VR:n'? Onko 'meni' sanan 'menin' imperatiivi?

Somalialainen lauloi karaokessa ''Olen suomalainen''. Tästä suivaantuneena VR:n työntekijä meni laulamaan ''Juna kulkee vaan''. :D

I don´t know... In my mind "suivaantua" is not as strong as "become angry", it is more like "become irritated".

The basic form of "meni" is "mennä" ( to go ) as you can see here :
http://www2.lingsoft.fi/cgi-bin/fintwol?word=meni

Here you can see how "mennä" is conjugated :
http://www.verbix.com/webverbix/Finnish/menn%C3%A4.html

On that page you can see that the imperative singular of "mennä" is "mene" and the imperative plural is "menkää".
