Talk:kärsiä

RFV discussion: April–May 2022
Finnish. Rfv-sense: "(of an animal like elephant or pig) To dig or feel something with one's trunk or snout." So obscure Suomen murteiden sanakirja does not even have a proper definition, but at least it has it... &mdash; S URJECTION / T / C / L / 17:17, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Does not seem real to me. I have heard this sense once, sort of. It was a Q/A type joke, that is impossible to translate, while preserving the pun. It goes like this:
 * -Mitä norsupappi sanoo vihkiessään norsuparin?
 * - Kärsikää toisianne.

 * If you were not familiar with the sense when you heard the joke, then how did you come to realize it was a pun? --Lambiam 07:46, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I need to try to translate it in order to try to explain.
 * -What does an elephant priest say when he joins an elephant couple in matrimony?
 * -Snout each other. (ha-ha, did you get it?)
 * Explanation: "kärsiä" has a dialectal meaning "to tolerate, get along with" (which we are missing). On the other hand it might be understood as a verb formed from the noun . --Hekaheka (talk) 19:32, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
