Did you know Kamala is Finnish for horrible?

[Anonymous]

Yes

No

[buzzword]

If you examine the meaning in Hindi or Sanskrit you'll find the name Kamala comes from the root word Kama which refers to the Hindu god of love and erotic desire. In Indian literature, kama is often used to refer to sexual desire. If you add the suffix -ra it becomes Kamara which means lustful. If you add the suffix -la which means to receive or the act of taking you end up with something like a person that receives or takes sex. You know, like a prostitute. If you think it means lotus blossom, you're joking yourself unless you mean the lotus sex position...

That's like if your parents named you Piledriver...

"I was born in a middle class neighborhood, and the kids in the neighborhood are the kids in the neighborhood". ....... What the hell did that Mean?

I just looked this up and by golly it does mean horrible. I could imagine what my Finnish grandfather would say if he was still alive.

[abc3643]

Not quite.
According to Google Translate, it is "kamalaa" with the extra a at the end. This would make sense since Finnish is filled with A's and umlauts.

[abc3643]

For instance, the Finnish for Donald Trump is: "peräaukko".

Did you know that it's Indian for, Lotus Blossom?

[Asker]

Yes I did.

[buzzword]

Some bullshit right there.

[FunkyMonkee]

@buzzword Why? I believe he knew it.

[AviatorTom]

I didn't know that until now. Yes, I looked it up via Google translate. I guess she's happy she's not running for office in Finland. 🙈🙊🙉

[RavVid]

Not a single H in the name. If it was Hhhhamhhhhalahhh I might belief it.

[MisterWack]

Her name comes from Sanskrit meaning lotus.

I don't know about the Finnish involved.

[Asker]

Finnish is not involved, but would be extremely interesting if she was running for office in Finland.

[MisterWack]

Yeah extremely interesting if she were to run for office in Finland after winning the 2024 election, though her family chose that name based on their Hindu background on behalf of the family line through her mother I have to go by the intention & thoughtfulness to a respect towards the Sanskrit language that spewed forth such a beautiful feminine name. 🪷

[Asker]

That's if she wins the 2024 election, we shouldn't repeat 2016 and just assume the Democratic candidate has already won. There is a chance she could lose, especially if enough pro Palastinia Democrats stay home or vote 3rd party.

Dude I just factcheck this.😆😆😆 This is legit!

[ManInChains]

She would make such a Kamala president 😂

[Anonymous]

According to Faith & Values/Trunews, the name Kamala has a very negative connotation to it. Demonic? Satanic? Occultic? Pagan? Whatever it is, It's not good.

[seyfturk]

Finnish is difficult but it is a very unique language.

[strateguy632]

Not until now! But ever since she lost primary 2020 i knew Kamala is horrible

[Agape93]

So what?

[Asker]

So what? Don't take everything thing too seriously. Would be interesting and funny to watch Harris run for office in Finland, knowing her name means horrible in Finnish.
