Is that Elli? I saw her yesterday for the first time in my life, a beautiful woman, when she is in her slam and Finnish terms appear, I don't understand anything without a translator. I once told my Finnish friend that Finnish is as incomprehensible to me as Chinese. He had to laugh. "German is easy for me," he told me. Sometimes I guess what was said: Coffee, tea, cola, grill, one, two, three, but I don't understand anything else. You can survive with that in Finland. I once made a Chinese man laugh: He told me: "If you don't understand my language, let's try pantomime: Then he showed me a piece of work and asked me: What did I do there? I told him: You buried an egg and dug it up again after 20 years. He laughed a lot and then asked: "Don't you want to know what I did? The phone rang and he was told that the baked bananas were burning in his kitchen. The fire brigade can go to the restaurant and for the first and only time we didn't have to pay anything for the Chinese. I just imagine how Elli would have reacted to the Chinese if he had told her that his kitchen was on fire. I like Elli and I also like the Finns and the Finnish language. Now it's out.
I was happy today, because I found out that the German "Ja" in Finnish means "JOO", which I learned from Elli. One year and I have written all over the place.
Is that Elli? I saw her yesterday for the first time in my life, a beautiful woman!!!!! When she is in her slam and Finnish terms appear, I don't understand anything without a translator. But I deliberately don't turn it on. I once told my Finnish friend that Finnish is just as incomprehensible to me as Chinese, so he had to laugh. "German is easy for me," he told me. Sometimes I guess what a Finn said. Coffee, tea, coke, grill, one, two, three, I understand, but nothing else, you can survive with that in Finland. I once made a Chinese man laugh: "If you don't understand my language, let's try pantomime: Then he showed me a work he was doing in pantomime and asked: "What have I done? I told him: "You buried an egg and after 20 years you dug it up again. He laughed a lot. Then he asked: "Don't you want to know what I did there? Then the phone rang and he was told that the baked bananas were burning in his kitchen; the fire brigade could come in and we didn't have to pay anything for the first and only time we went to the Chinese restaurant because we had to leave quickly. I just imagine how Elli would have reacted to the Chinese when he told her: "My bananas are burning! I like Elli and I also like the Finns and the Finnish language. Now it's out.
My favourite poetry slam; this only works in German ! Keiner darf, wie er will. Keiner will, wie er darf. Und keiner darf, wie er kann. Und keiner kann, wie er soll. ( Ödön von Horvath )
