i have a bodom shirt which has this written on the back.

"Ceeppareita edessa
ceeppare framfor"

Can anyone tell me what it means?

Something like, I live with my parents.

Ceeppari or seeppari is a Finnish slang word for retard. Edessä means ahead in Finnish. So it would translate to "Retards ahead!"

Ceeppare framför is the same in Swedish (which is the other official language in Finland).

"framför" actually means "in front of".

"ceeppare" doesn't mean anything in Swedish at all. So it seem as quite a dumb attempt at translating I'd guess. (Allthough, 'CP'[Each letter pronounced] is used as slang for retard, however, we wouldn't say 'ceeppare', but CPn.)

.:crast:.

"little giggles"

Well, i quess they fucked up the swedish translation. Or it could be that it's the finlandssvensk way of saying it. Finlandssvenska is pretty different from riksvenska.

The word ceeppari/seeppari comes from the letters CP, btw.

Yeah, 'ceeppari' sounds like they've tried to convey in letters, how we pronounce CP.

I figured it was some wierd finnish thing, I'm just saying it ain't Swedish, ;)

.:crast:.

Isn't it written with a one e as in "separi". Ah well I wouldn't know about you Helsinki people, talking all weird ...

"Kick me".

You can close the thread.

I prefer separi too. But a lot of people use seeppari. Go figure.

*sigh* i knew this would go nowhere...

I told you what it means, what's the problem?

thats what it really means? retards ahead?

What did you expect? The meaning of life?

Why the hell would a band write that on a t-shirt???

Because the band is retarded. You can fairly wear that shirt when facing CoB perform live.

No, they are showing their respect for retards, unlike most bands which treat them as dirt. Children Of Bodom are Trve Finnish Warriors of Retvrdation.
