the bit that i need translating is "arabialainen täysiverinen" its horsey related, and i think it means something like "arab horse" or "arab breed" but i don't have a clue what language it is! i pasted it into a swedish translator but that didn't come up with anything, but it could jhust be the translator....
any ideas?

Finnish  It means 'full-blooded arab!' or purebred, I guess. |

Well, I don't know a word of Finnish, but I did guess correctly (thanks Finn for the answer).
My guess was based on the absolutely stupid and irrelevant theory that all Finnish names seem to end in the letters "nen". (Think of Mika Hakkinen and Kimi Raikonen - sorry about the spellings).

LOL!!! Too right. Anything with too many repeated consonants is usually Finnish too or possibly Elvish! The Finnish grammar I have identifies 15 case endings in common use, says there are more, and since it comes from that particularly swinishly difficult group of hungarian/croatian languages its fiendishly difficult to learn. Makes Latin look like baby talk! I never got very far with it but I'd love to learn it properly .... |
