Of course, the text above is only meant to be an example of the language and not targeted towards anyone. That only contains the five most used curse words in Finnish, and didn't include most of the profanities specifically targeted towards a person (the only one I included was kusipää=ass, which I used in plural), such as ämmä or huora (roughly the same as your puta).

But, as your own example shows, most of the languages in the world have many ways of "expressing" yourself, so there's no language that is above others in that aspect.

F1 Rejects - Probably the only forum where a discussion about Alonso's antics turns into a discussion about curse words around the globe.

Could be some much worse.

The one thing that has always amazed me on Spanish cursing is the seamless way different curse words are used one after the other, so you end up with these melodious long sentences. It's like a 10-hit swearing combo.

Yeah, that's quite right. Phoenix forgot a few ones, like cojones (which has like umpteen different meanings in Spanish) or huevos.

And yes, we still swear like in Hemingway's time Me cago en la leche, me cago en la mar, me cago en la puta, me cago en Dios, me cago en la madre que te parió, me cago en tus muertos -----> I've just defecated on: milk, sea, bitch, God, your mother and your ancestors.

Now that I think about it, that's probably what Alonso has been doing since Sunday.

Finnish begs to differ, I could make a long list of the cursewords used here. Although I don't doubt that Spanish has many good ones as well.

What? Me cagüen la hostia puta, joder, coño, carajo. Leches ya, mierda, puñetas.

Question is, can you construct a coherent sentence in spanish by using a single curseword? Vittu ku Vituttaa nii Vitusti. Also, Perkele with the right emphasis on the r is THE most satisfying curseword EVER!

Non mais ca va pas avec toutes vos conneries en Espagnol et en Finlandais? Fermez vos sales gueules, putain de bordel de merde!

Just thought I'd throw that out.

Yeah, you're right. But for the record, what you meant was probably esto es un foro familiar, chico.

I can't conjugate verbs in Spanish. I know practically none of the language, and that was all from memory.

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

Just saying.

I know, but I put that only to show you how it was correct.

Your English far outstrips my Spanish.

This is just out of curiosty but Phoenix does Spanish Spanish differ from Latin American Spanish in any way?

I know this isn't directed at me, but I'm pretty sure the answer is yes - same with Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese

Fernando Alonso and your barrichello-esque 09 nurburgring blablabla.

special metions:

Williams: Another annonymous race.
Webber: Hey mark, c'mon!
Brazilian TV commentators: Vettel needs learn a lot? Who is the champion now?

A lot, really. The accent is different, and some verbal conjugations differ a bit. Plus, they have their own set of special words, some of them crudely borrowed from English. In fact, you can even note some changes between Latin American countries. And then there are the Canarians, who speak pretty much a mix between Iberic Spanish and Latin American Spanish.

Estoy de acuerdo.
