Ultimate shoulder rides

Good idea, Louie!

Swedish:

shoulder ride ... ? (no such expression in Swedish)
riding on shoulders ... rida på axlarna (this is common)
chicken fight ... ? (not sure if there is a Swedish expression for that)
Would you like a shoulder ride? ... Vill du rida på mina axlar?

italian:

shoulder ride= cavalluccio
riding on shoulders= cavalluccio sulle spalle
chicken fight: i dont think there is a word for translate it

no

turkish:

ride on someones shoulders omzuna cikmak
take someone on shoulders: omuzlarina almak (or: omzuna almak)
chicken fight: deve guresi

ok louie in spanish shoulder ride is like:

    --- a hombros
    --- en hombros
    --- sobre los hombros

or you can trie this:

     --- caballito
     --- a caballo

hombros are shoulders and caballito is like piggy back

and chicken fights is like "pelea de gallos" for men or "pelea de gallinas" for women

hope this helps you

The Finnish language has no word for "shoulder ride". You must do some explaining, if you want your partner to understand, what you are asking for. The word "ride" (=ratsastaa) isn´t used at all in this case. Instead Finns use the word "istua" (=to sit). There´s also several words for "shoulder".

At a rock concert, you could ask a girl this:
"Would you like to sit on my shoulders?" = Haluatko istua harteillani? ( or "hartioillani" or "olkapäilläni")
"Can I sit on your shoulders?" = Saanko istua harteillasi? (or you can use the other words meaning shoulder)

"Chicken fight" = Kukkotappelu (but be careful, the same word is also used for male organ fighting!)

I am also curious about tranlations to Spanish, Portugese (shoulder ride...), French, Chinese, Japanese, Hindi, Russian, Czech, Croation, Hungarian etc. etc. etc.

Please everyone (also a chance to get bonus membership!) help out with further translations, maybe you can also add phrases we have missed so far...

Thanks to all!

According to my wife who is from Japan and some of her Japanese friends the Japanese phrase for "shoulder ride" is

                           kataguruma. 

The phonetics are the same as in Spanish.

However this phrase when used in searches in www.youtube.com  usually results in videos showing judo throws over the shoulder. 

"Kata" means shoulder.  "Guruma" when used as a separate word is "kuruma" which in my Japanese to English dictionary translates to carriage, car, or wheel.  It is their language. They get to do as they wish with it.

On the other hand, an internet search using this phrase, "kataguruma," had gotten me a picture or two of shoulder riding.

En français, in French :

No word for "a shoulder ride" in French from France, but I believe that, in Quebec,  they say :  "un tour d'épaules ". In France, we just say "à cheval sur les épaules"...  Likewise, no word for "piggyback", we say " à cheval sur le dos ".

fancy a lift ? ......... Vous voulez que je vous prenne sur mes épaules ?
