Talk:Hakkapeliitta

message: " English: Hack on them; Swedish: hacka på), commonly translated as "Cut them down!" "
This translation is fairly close, but wrong:
"Hack on them!" = "Hacka på dom!"
"Cut them down!" = "Hacka ner dom!"
"Hacka på!" = "Keep hacking!"  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.255.233.254 (talk) 03:40, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

message: I doubt the Hakkapeliittas toasted for the Emperor. More likely they just let their horses drink from his silverware cups, (and maybe pee on them).

message: The relation to John Hanson is incorrect. Please see John Hanson (myths).
::Hanson the Swede
:The entire tale was created in 1872 by connecting some dots that were very far apart. There was an Anders Hansson among the Swedish colonists of Delaware. There was also a Hanson on the staff of Gustavus Adolphus. But neither of these had any relation with our John Hanson. A Swedish periodical examined this myth in Släkthistoriskt Forum 2000:4, and an English version is available online .

message: User:Jaakko Sivonen has added the "citation needed" template for the German names of the song. Google clearly indicates the German names (, ). If he is concerned with the fact that the song was not "German" but Swedish/Finnish, the song is often referenced in English with the German names. Olessi 20:20, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I have deleted a portion of the following statement: "In the early 17th century the cavalry led by the Swedish-Finnish Field Marshal Jacob De la Gardie participated in campaigns against Poland and conquered the Russian cities Novgorod and Moscow." This statement contains false information. The Novgorodians fed up with Moscow domination have invited the Swedes, and surrendered their city to De la Gardie on the condition that one of Swedish princes (either Carl Filip or Gustavus Adolphus)should become their king (it never happened for a number of reasons). De la Gardie troops never took Moscow. If anything, De la Gardie's Swedes then allied with Vasily IV of Russia tried to relieve the tsar besieged by Poles in Moscow.

message: Hakkapeliitat is the correct Finnish plural, but it's not appropriate to use it in English, so I've changed all instances to just hakkapeliitta. Jpatokal (talk) 14:07, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Wouldn't "Hit (them) in the head" be a better translation of "hakkaa päälle"? Vigfus (talk) 14:43, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It is very hard to translate the war-cry, as it does not have a clear meaning in modern Finnish. 'Hakkaa' means "hit" and 'päälle' means "position youself on something, go on the top, go above". So it apparently means something like "Go on them and hit them". "Hit them in the head" is a wrong translation at least according to the grammar of modern Finnish: "in the head" is päähän, not päälle. (I'm not quite sure of the 17th century language, however).--130.234.68.224 (talk) 11:59, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia.
This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link.
If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting.
If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page.
If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta.
When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.
The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true.

message: from Swedish wiki page
Hakkapelites have gotten a legendary position in Finland as famous heroes and dreaded opponents. The historical research now sees the hackapelites as part of the then Swedish rider, without any special position. However, Gustav II Adolf had successfully reformed the Swedish rider's tactics, thus differing from the opponents.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.228.152.185 (talk) 14:13, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
