You pronounce "Perkele" like a 6-year old girl! Here's how it really should be pronounced.

  • From my neutral view (i don't side with any of the Scandinavian languages). Perkele sounds scarier. Like their actually summoning the devil when they say it! Fean sounds too soft. It reminds me of the english word fawn, which then makes me think of cute baby deers.

  • haha, Finnish is awesome!

  • Man, Finns have been using perkele (and other cuss words, I assume) in their television for a long time! Does perkele not carry the same weight as fuck, or do Finns just care less?

  • @EnigmaEvocative

    Good point. I prefer the shorter for emphasis though. However, that is likely due to my cultura background conditioning me to that understanding.

    I apologize for the rudeness of my younger self

  • I prefer perkele.

    It sounds more deadpan and threatening.

  • @BlackAdder6 but there's Faggot, Asshole, and many variations of "fuck" - Fucker, Fucktard, Fuckwit etc etc etc

  • Perkele is still a funny word

  • 0:31

  • I like the part at 1:53 when the dude is shot. XD

  • @whazzupman1 nah they are all gay :P
