Mandarin - Terrified of the big Red Dragon.
Mandarin - You're a masochist with a penchant for noodles. [I'm not picking on Mandarin, it's just the only one I can think of at the moment] 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Finnish - you're a fan of ski jumping or Nightwish and The Rasmus.
Japanese - you're a crazy fan of manga and anime Macedonian - what's that? or my definition - to rile some Greeks and Bulgarians ;) Farsi - even more what's that Czech - you like Nohavica, Czech beer and bands such as Vypsana fiXa. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Japanese -- kind of cool, but 8-billion characters. Samurai, Sumo, Geisha, Mt. Fuji, Nintendo, Sony, sushi.
Finnish -- What? Crazy. Simply crazy, out of your mind. Cold, snow, frost, ice, cold, mosquitoes, lutefisk, 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Finns are a lot of things, including crazy. But the only ones who are crazy enough to eat fish boiled in a washing detergent - lutefisk - are as far as I know the Norwegians. A lot of us actually have it for Christmas dinner... 1 person has voted this message useful |
