I don't know any better translation than just simply: I twist an R around a beam and I put the S into my pocket. :P

This browser's "translate to English" just produced 

 

 "I'll circle the scar around the perch and put the ace in my pocket"

 

In the USA a 'perch' is either a kind of fish or something a bird might sit on (or person).  A "scar" is often a mark left on skin after an injury or an old injury on a tree or something.  An "ace in my pocket" sounds like someone is cheating at cards.  (Or did that mean "ace in the hole", which could be a surprise ability or object.) 

 

I have been warned about Finnish!  😄  (Or was the translation "too polite"?)

This is what they have been after 😄 'Roost' could also be another term to use for it.

I would translate the phrase to;
I twist the R around the roost and put the S into my pocket 😄 

If you want to confuse yourself about Finnish, try to understand what we mean when we say 'kuusi palaa' 😄

six pieces

 

This browser refuses to translate it, but Google Translate produces " six will return" , and the back-translates it back to the original Finnish.

 

 I just noticed that this browser DID translate the quoted Finnish. NOW, I am really confused!  😖

 

OMG!  "six pieces" was translated by Google into "kuusi kappaletta", which back-translated into "six songs"!  😮

I am now officially "confused".   (At least "confused" translates to "sekava", which back-translates to "confused".  Reality is Restored!  😄 )

 

ACK I just noticed that the 'Translate to English' rendered @Api888's ET Member" to "AND Member"!  Is that Finnish?????

You're welcome 😄
All of those are correct and it just depends on the context what we mean with it 😄

It is but it's a less used way to say 'and', common for 'and' would be 'ja' 😄

This is also confusing. Different kind of wordings for the word "dog", for example: my dog, your dog, his dog, their dog, our dog etc. You name it. I dont even know all of those

I need more that one reaction-icon for your post:  I did "surprised" but also needed Laugh and Cry!  I am feeling a surprisingly complex medley of emotions right now!  :unsure: 😲 😢 😄 😸  Where did that cat come from?  🐕 🙃 

 

It seems like I am more likely to learn how to learn to sing than to learn to speak or even read Finnish!  My 🎩 is off to all of you who are fluent!

To be fair most of us are able to use like 10-15 of those forms and you're already considered fluent with that 😄
