Finnish proverbs & sayings

Inspired by Katinkas German proverb thread.

#1

Kukas kissan hännän nostaa ellei kissa itse?

Literal translation: Who raises the cat's tail if not the cat itself?

Meaning: If you want acknowledgement or appreciation, you have to give it to yourself since nobody else will.

Joka vanhoja muistelee, sitä tikulla silmään.

= who thinks about old things should be poked in the eye.


This means that in arguing, talking about old issues is not the recipe for arguing fairly. Also it means that past insults and such should stay in the past as they are over and usually talked though anyways.

Nukkuminen on homojen hommaa, kuolema kuittaa univelat.

Siitä puhe mistä puute.

= what you talk about is what you need.


Refers usually to people who talk about sex, are they usually are the ones who haven't had it for a long while and their need for sex can be noticed if they constantly talk about pu*sies, d*cks, making love, and stuff.

Oh well... A Finnish rock star Juice Leskinen died at the age of 56 because of drinking too much... Drinking once in a while is OK, I think... But too much is just too much.
