What's your favourite non-English cuss word?

Finnish swears are pretty fun but my favorite is perkele
Perkele is the best but the one I use most often is vittu.
And when you really need to drive the point home, the holy trinity is of course vittu saatana perkele
As the other commenter said, vittu is the most common one but I really also like jumalauta, which is like "my fucking god"
Also some more interesting common phrase is "voi vittujen kevät ja kyrpien takatalvi", literally translates to "spring of cunts and blackberry winter of dicks"
Also some more interesting common phrase is "voi vittujen kevät ja kyrpien takatalvi", literally translates to "spring of cunts and blackberry winter of dicks"
As a Canadian, this is the phrase I was looking for when I saw snow sticking on the ground after a nice warm period in the last couple of days. It's perfect and I love it.
so what's the cultural significance of a "blackberry winter"? does that mean like it's abundant with something?
Cultural significance is probably just the fact that Finland is north and cold, it's often joked that the summer is short and with little snow. I can't really explain it, but the word "takatalvi" feels extremely Finnish in every way, the meaning, the fact that there's a dedicated single word for the phenomenon, and also just the feeling of that word in your mouth
I see. Thank you for explaining
Hodenkobold (Testicle Goblin)
Kacklappen (Shit rag)

Which language, please?
German

Danke schon
German, I think!
Ach!
Danke schon!

Oh yeah it is.
I meant in context of Dutch swear words, though. It's one of the most common swears, almost on the level of English fuck.
In not saying fuck isn't controversial in English as is one of the two words that have a 'the F word' status to refer to it without saying it. However it's the most commonly used swear around.
So that's what I tried to say, but controversial was the only word that worked for me.
Klootviool is kinda similar to Arschgeige. I don't know what it is with violins and private parts.
In Italian we have a category of curse words called "bestemmie" which they are actually illegal to say because they're an insult to God or the religion in general.
Some of my favourite ones are "Dio cane" (god is a dog), "Dio merda" (god is a shit), "Dio boia" (god is an executioner).
Yeah, tell me about it! It used to be in the penal code, so it was actually a crime.
Now they depenalized so you only get a fine, but still. Italy should be a secular country, and yet...
ooooh, chingadera is good.
Definitely going in the repertoire
Words cannot express how much I want there to be a JCW wrestler named "Los Chingadera" now.
Chingadera is mostly used to express fustration at something that doesn't work right. It's akin to saying something is a "piece of junk" or when a situation is fucked up, etc.
thingamajig would be "chingaderita" diminutive of chingadera.
Something or someone cool is refered to as "Chingón" or ”Chingona" a wrestler could be named "el chingón" but it's too broad and over used, kind of lacks personal character.
Edited to add:/the meaning of being chingón /a is to be really good at something, not only cool.
...you know, reading this and thinking about what the JCW is (Juggalo Championship Wrestling), I still think 'Los Chingadera' (or El Chingadera, my Spanish is non-existant) works.
That aside I appreciate these extra details! Seriously, ty.
Looking into it, yeah our hypothetical wrestler could be "El Chingaderas" a trickster type, who always comes up with some bullshit.
No problem! the word chingar is so versatile, I enjoy over explaining it. ;)
literally ‘fuckerator’
Ah, Perry the Platypus.
Where are you referencing that from? From the internet era its used in the Tribes franchises quick-chat, but its also from Rockey and Bullwinkle (1950/60s). Any uses older than that are a mystery to me.
Tabernac!
Well, I've found my new ringtone.
Also, the "shave and a haircut" knock means "chinga tu madre cabron" in Mexico, and should be avoided. (You just sang it. Everyone does.)
I've often wondered how they localized Who Framed Roger Rabbit for Mexico.
jævlig, jævel, and jævla in norwegian are quite versatile. i am learning it as it's the language of my ancestors and my dad raised me learning it, but sadly, i only learned basic norwegian thru youtube videos he showed me and i'm the only one actively (though on-and-off) learning it. jævlig is like "terrible" but it means "devilish", but you can also say something is "jævlig god" which is like "fucking good".
jævel is a noun, so "en rik jævel" is a "rich fuck". this might be useful for my friend who says stuff like "the horny fuck" or «den kåte jævelen». so it's like "the fuck" (noun) or "fucker".
jævla is like fucking, for example, «ei jævla tispe» is a fucking bitch, or you could say «en jævla tispe», i've heard both. "the fucking bitch" is either «den jævla tispen» or maybe «den jævla tispa», but im still learning.
Oh!!! And if a man tries to flirt with you, since you're a lesbian, and he keeps being a creep, you can say "Drit og dra!" (fuck off) or "Hold kjeft!"
It reminds me of this song
(Like shut up, or STFU)
Åh, jeg lär mig norska och svenska. I Sverige säger de "den rika jäveln" för "the rich fucker". Också säger svenskar "jäkligt god" för "fucking good". "A fucking bitch" är "en jävla bitch", tror jag.
Perkele! I like the profanity where you invoke the name of a volcano diety
name of a volcano diety
*thunder/lightning god
Yes, one of the old gods. A bit like grandfather of Satan.
oh, my mistake. now i'm curious who I was thinking of
Not sure :) Not many volcanoes in Finland lol
bruh I think it was Pele 🤦♂️I should have been held back a couple years in school
Malaka.
I had a Greek friend at school, we were delighted when he taught us this
Melbourne, Australia has a huge Greek population. I think there's even "Malaka Parking" on facebook.
"Kruzifixdeifelscheissdreck"
It has the benefit of going on for a while so you can either calm down or just keep going...
"Kruzifixdeifelscheissdreckfotzenbeidelfutoaschsau..."
It's limitless, but may lead to a bit of repetitive parts. Usually private ones.
Cazzo is the one that feels the most fun for me after Fuck.

J'aime aussi tabarnak mais calise est proche. En español, puta mierda es mi favorita. Y también, porque yo soy Tica, nosotros decimos "mae" mucho (but that's not a real curse, it just means dude)
High five to n'importe qui me puede entender 🙌🏼
Merde.
Do short phrases work?
Because, if so, the Chinese 你妈死了 ( ni ma si la, your mom is dead ) is one of my all time favorites.
It's kinda basic, but I surprisingly don't know almost any other vulgar phrases/words in other languages.
Phrases are both acceptable and appreciated!
Åh, talar du svenska också??
Underbar!!!
Cantonese:
黐線 (pronounced like: Chi Sin) Used in place of like "idiot" but has the same weight as the R-Word in some contexts
仆街 (pronounced like: Puk Gaai) Probably similar to "dickhead" I think
Mandarin:
神經病,有毛病 (Idk where I heard this from... think I might heard it drom 1st or 2nd grade... a combo phrase combining 2 terms lol)
Or even say yun tao pok gai
I love diu or if I'm exceptional exasperated, diu lay lo mo
Bocachancla
This may be a fleeting fancy, but at time of writing: «Merde»
Pizdets
Putang taka mo!
Swedish, "kuk" is such a funny word. I also like jävel/jävla... Um, skit is quite useful. Skitbra means "really good", skithäftig is "damn cool/really cool".
In German, my other language, I like Hurensohn, Verdammt, Arschloch...
Double length to the N sound for maximum effect. Tonnto. Hahahaha
My own personal invention
Puta con leche
That’s exactly what I’d expect from a puta en bicicleta
Cuolo maricon!

Lamepiso!
Old Yiddish curse.
May you own a thousand estates; and on every estate have a thousand mansions; and in every mansion a thousand rooms; and in every room a thousand featherbeds with silk sheets and lamb wool blankets.
And may malaria fever drive you from bed to bed to bed!
Never looked up the spelling, so I've been calling this 'sauce for cowards' for years now:

Tabernak ostie!!!!
C'est magnifique 🍁
There's a frog with the species name niputidea from Spanish Ni puta idea.
Also, obligatory mention of my conlang:
rCFqKqmg "Egg eater", far more weighty when you're oviparous. Calling someone this at work is a resume generating event.
slmqNLg "Cloaca butter", BS or nonsense.
