ITP: Swearing and Insults in Other Languages

Okay, so, I know a lot of you are multilingual! I, however, am unfortunately monolingual and am wondering stuff relating to the one immediate use of learning anything of another language. AS SUCH could some of you post various profanities with translations :< Preferably with how to pronounce it, if possible.

I know "kuso" is Japanese for either 'damn' or 'shit' depending on context.... [/useless]

And supposedly there's a (Scandinavian?) insult that translates roughly as 'even half an eye can see that'? or so my dad says anyway o woe I am ignorant help
 
kuso would be closer to damn.

I know how to swear in plenty of other languages, but my vocabulary doesn't get very deep beyond basics. Here are some examples...:

paska - Finnish, noun, shit, but I believe used in the context of something being shit or the shit, rather than an exclaimation.
pendejo (pen-DE-ho) - Spanish, noun, used like one would use asshole and related words.
scheiße (something like shy-se) - German, noun, shit, just like in English.
mierda - Spanish, noun, shit
maricón (mar-i-CON) - Spanish, noun, faggot
puta - Spanish, noun, whore
 
Here's some Spanish words used to insult people/as swears (some of them may be mispelled, I really only speak Spanish and am not good at writing it):

Hijo de puta - Son of a bitch. Or literally, son of a whore.

Comer pinga - This one's really bad. It's like calling someone an asshole. It means, literally, "eat penis." Not sure if I spelled it right, though.

Cadajo - Damn it or something like that.

I got this stuff from what my parents say, so um, yeah.
 
Perkele! Oh, wait, that's Finnish.

Uh, merde. No, crap, that's French!

Skit. No, that's - hang on, that IS Swedish! Okay, so I got it right after all. Now let's see...

Skit, fan, jävlar, fan, sug kuk, cp-unge, fan, hata Göteborg, rövhål, fan, bajsbarn, fitta, fucking bitch, fan, mongo, stööööörd i huvudet eller? lol, ät min skit...

...ditt jävla övergivna barn som har levt i en sopbil hela livet och inte vet hur man pratar ordentligt (d.v.s. talar götebörgska) och är för jävla fet för att kunna se sin egna jävla kuk och är CP och gillar Donken mer än BK.
 
lold at Perkele, I was about to post that

kut, lul, klote, schijt, and a motley assortment of illnesses which I won't mention for the love of my deceased family members
 
I read that Saumensch means 'pig shit' or 'go fuck a pig' or something to that extent in German.
 
kuso would be closer to damn.
No, it depends on context. It can be either.

Pute = whore.
Fils de pute = son of a bitch/whore.

Uh... I know some Japanese swears. :D

kuso - basically a crude form of 'daiben' which is actual literal shit. Not really as bad as our shit, sort of depends on context. Swearing isn't always perceived as bad in Japan, more like just crude language.
kusoyaro - to my knowledge this is just like 'shit' combined with yaro/yaru, which is like a way of saying you. Usually though this is one of those Japanese 'you's that is not someone speaking, speaker's group, or someone that the speaker is talking to. And it also implies that they're inferior. :D So say your friend just got punched by someone, instead of saying 'kuso' you'd say 'kusoyaro' which is like saying 'that kusoyaro!' Then again you can just say it to someone and it'd be like 'damn you!' because Japanese is awkward like that.
konoyaro - basically an impolite way of saying 'that guy'. So basically another 'damn him' or 'damn you'. Literally 'damn that guy!'

(basically kuso and kusoyaro are like 'damn' and 'damn you'.)

konchikushyou (I've heard it said with the 'kon' dropped) - basically another way of saying 'damn you' and 'damn you all' except it makes more sense and is more offensive in a way, but not too offensive like something that would be bleeped out of TV.

I'm not sure what 'go to hell' would be, not sure if it's actually used. But literally I think it would be something along the lines of jigoku koto ni natteiru. 'Go away!' is acchiheike which isn't much help at all, so I don't really know. Although 'go back to hell' would be jigoku ni modori nasai. =P

Additionally there are more words that mean stuff like 'that guy' or 'him' in a nasty way.

*has crappy Japanese skills* XD

I don't know about swears in other languages.
 
Time for Spanish insults with Foxsundance. These are all rough translations based on what I've heard over the years. I'm a horrible hispanic.

Maricon: (Ma-ree-cone) Faggot
Mama huevos: (mama who-eh-vos) literally "Suck balls"
Mama niema: (mama knee-eh-ma) literally "Suck penis"
Carajo: (ca-rah-hoe) Damn it, fuck, etc.
Coño: (co-ni-oh) Damn it, fuck, etc.
Come mierda: (co-meh me-air-dah) Eat shit
Hijo de puta: (iho de poo-ta) Son of a (bitch, whore)
mardita: (mar-di-ta) damned, fucking, etc.
Hijo de su mardita madre: (ijo deh sue mardita ma-dre) literally "son of his goddamned mother"
puta: (poo-ta ) bitch, whore

How very vulgar. Make sure you roll those r's.

Cachu (cah-(the sound you make when you prepare to spit)-ee) - Shit

Y belen: (uh bell-en) - Pel means ball, this is used as a way to call someone a ball (as in someone's balls)
Twpsyn (toop-sin) - Idiot
Hwran (hoo-ran) - Whore
gast (gast) - Bitch
 
Bawjaws = one who can unhinge their jaw to fit both penis and scrotum into their mouth. Also see HOORE
Cadger = one who badgers you into handing over your sweeties. Also see CUNTFACE
Cuntface = one who has a vagina replacing their facial features.
Hoore = can be assumed to mean 'whore', although nobody has ever asked a Scotsman to explain what they're attempting to say. One who has sexual intercourse for money.
Yer maw = your mum. Deeply offensive to those of the SCOTTISH nationality.
