Rear Window Sticker Translation?

[pitbull_1973]

Can someone please translate the rear window sticker?

"SITKEÄÄN SUHAUKSEEN SATSUMA"

so far I have found that "SITKEÄÄN" means "Persistent" or "Tough" and Satsuma is obvious. But I can not find a translation for "SUHAUKSEEN". Given the context I would think the entire phrase would be something like "Tough Little Satsuma", but I don't think that's it.

Does anyone have an actual translation?

It's not really possible to translate it word to word. Something like "Satsuma for tough driving" would work. It's just one of those "clever" advertisement slogans that car import companies loved to put on the rear windows of cars back in the day.

it actually stands for
*For persistent sucking satsumas*

i just ran "SITKEÄÄN SUHAUKSEEN" through google translate and it says REASON TO DRINK

which is appropriate. this game is hilarious

The wiki was wrong for a time. It actually means "For persistent driving, Satsuma". Suhaukseen is an inflected form of the verb "suhata", which comes from the French/English word chauffeur.

Probably some Finn got it mixed up with the word for a swooshing sound, since suhata and the derived forms are pretty old fashioned and/or regional language.

Swooshing seems like a pretty decent translation. "Suhata" doesn't refer to just any kind of driving.

[Jowee!]

For some reason, when I translated it, it showed: SATSUMA FOR THE SOLID SHOULDER
Um, I don't think that's correct...

Ran it through google translate. For me it says "Satsuma in a persistent snort." (????)
