Short question for the finns

[feresc13]

Hi,

I've been hearing for a long time the stages notes from Timo on TV, and always I asked myself for the meaning of the word "kirra". Can somebody explain me? Thanks. Also, if it's a finn word how it is written correctly.

[Donney]

I guess it is left or right. :p

[Miika]

Kirraa means the bend tightens in the end.

[Finni]

It means that corner tightens toward end.

:up: Thank you very much!! A pleasure to ask things here!!

Can anybody produce a small translation book of phrases, it would be helpful.
What about, 'miino'- I understand, 5,4,3,2,1; don't know how they are written.

I'd love to be able to fully understand Finnish so I can interpret the pacenotes when watching in-car videos of Marcus or Mikko.

There was a thread a long time ago that was for translations of pace notes - in several languages. Think it was on the old forum so if someone has any spare time they could maybe look it up :p :

It's all about practise. Tell you what, next year at NORF, let's all talk only finnish. ;)

I'm all for it, It took me two days to align my brain into Finnish mode after the rally. :D

Hmm I was actually thinking about that thread the other day, and then it suddenly lies here before my feet ;)

Here's a full explanation, straight from Timo himself:
