mutkikkaammiksitulevat

Mutkikkaammiksitulevat is a Finnish phrase that literally translates to “the complicated ones arrive” in English. The expression combines the adjective mutkikkaama (meaning “complicated” or “convoluted”) with the verb tunnu (to arrive, to appear) and the suffix -t, forming a compound verb that conveys the idea of complex situations or topics being introduced. It is typically used in informal contexts when people remark that something unexpected or intricate has started.

The phrase first appeared in the mid‑2000s in online discussion forums and social media groups among Finnish-speaking teenagers. Its usage spread quickly, partly because it humorously captures the feeling of being overwhelmed by suddenly complex information, such as a difficult assignment, a puzzling relationship problem or a newly discovered technical issue.

In contemporary Finnish slang, mutkikkaammiksitulevat functions as a colloquial idiom. Speakers often use it with a playful or sarcastic tone, sometimes followed by a list of items or examples: “Mutkikkaammiksitulevat laaja määrä Euroopan unionin sääntöjä.” The phrase is intentionally humorous because it mimics the cadence of a casual conversation.

Being a product of internet culture, mutkikkaammiksitulevat is rarely found in formal writing. It is mainly encountered in blogs, text messages, and casual speech. The term has had no official entry in major Finnish dictionaries, but it is regularly recognized by native speakers as an amusing way to express that a complex issue is arriving.
