In the Netherlands they've got some nicknames i.e. 'de juten', 'de wouten', 'de kit'; I know that in the Flanders part of Belgium they call them also 'de flikken'.
Don't forget 'De pliesie', and I think in belgium they call them also 'Zwaantjes'

A little story about this:

Someone I know had a rather big Marihuana plantage, but the cops confiscated everything.
He asked them what they were going to do with it, no answer.
After he wrote them a few letters about the case, he still didn't get an answer.
Then he decided to print T-shirts with this print: "Bullen fressen Gras". (Bulls/Cops eat gras). :heyea:
The shirts were green, with the text printed in white, just like the real police had.
He gave these shirts to friends, and asked them to wear these in the city.
(Never heard aboout someone getting problems.)

Je hebt helemaal gelijk, al kats vergeten.
(You're right, totally forget about that one).

But the Belgian 'Zwaantjes' I've never heard about.
I do sometimes refer to the police as being rats (ratten).

Here we call them e.g. ''Damsons'', because of color of uniforms. Or often ''Hairy''. But I don't know why. :shrug:

Well, for the original purpose of this thread:

In your signature, with "Meat" I think you meant meet (meat = food that vegetarians don't like; to meet = to know someone).

Maybe you just written fast and didn't noticed...

You're only the fourth person to notice me about that... But it's wanted to be "meat" :bg:

I don't want to sound kinky, but I would expect the phrase "to meat" someone on the back cover of some dirty movie DVD. :shhh:

Well, I think it means "send me an e-mail". And look here:

And something for the non-Finns :shhh:

hääyöaie, with 7 subsequent vowels

and

lentokonesuihkuturbiinimoottoriapumekaanikkoaliupseerioppilas

it's actually possible to create infinitely long words in Finnish, but that one is actually a legitimate word that is used in education of airplane jet turbine engine auxiliary mechanic non-commissioned officer students :mrgreen:

What do you get if you write 'per se' into one word and the Hungarian phrase 'persze' (=of course) without the z? :taped: :constable:

Ah, I see, thanks Tuomo. I understood it's a technical word ''used in education'' of those guys, not name of profession itself. :)

I was just thinking about the people who don't want to learn english here in Brazil, because the language is too hard for them due to "words that have more than one meaning", even though every language has them.

What are the most difficult languages to learn there in your countries? :scratch:

AFAIK Czech, for instance, has got seven declension cases, whilst German, a language known to be hard to learn, has got four of those. English gets also harder in advanced levels to my knowledge...

Talking about long words, in polish we can do the same by making an adjective.
Longest noun word is: Pięćdziesięciogroszówka - its 50 groszy's coin ;)

But when we're gonna write:
Dziewięćsetdziewięćdziesiątdziewięćmiliardówdzięwiećsetdziewiędziesiątdziewięćmilionówdziewięćsetdziewięsiątdziewięćtysięcydziewięćsetdziewiędździesięciodziewięcioipółletni

it means:

999 999 999 999 and a half year ;P And it's proper! You can surely go with this to infinity ;]

I'd guess the harder languages for finnish to learn are the asian ones as well as the eastern european languages which base to russian. Western European languages are pretty easy to learn (well at least to me they were. :P) since they are quite simple languages when compared to Finnish. And once you learn English well enough, it's pretty easy to learn at least the basics of most of the western languages since they are based to the same anglo-saxon thing or whatever you call it. So yeah, I'd say Russian and Asian languages, mostly because they can be so overwhelming due to the non-western alphabet system.

And well, a complete different thing is when learning to speak a language, since in Finnish what you write is how you say it. So when learning to speak a language, Japanese is propably one of the easiest ones I've come up to since they have almost the same style. Meanwhile English can be a huge pain as nothing is said as it is written. :D

Although I can't imagine how someone could live with this kind of numbering. :D

I think that my sister told me that Croats from middle Croatia have very good predispositions to learn all other languages. I think that Slavic languages are very hard to learn for western people but western languages are easy for Slavics. All western languages have a lot words from Latin and that makes them very similar and easy to learn.
