      I don’t know the source of this list, but #15 actually means ‘shit’ (like with several other languages in the comment).

      However, I understand it’s not easy, because I wouldn’t say there is a straight equivalent of it in the language. You could go for ‘picsa’, but that’s often typically used for women, or it’s closer in meaning to the english ‘bitch’. ‘Pöcs’ has a similar vibe when used specifically on males, but it’s much closer to being ‘prick’. Then there’s ‘köcsög’, which has a closer vibe to ‘scumbag’, but at least not so gender specific. I guess it’s situational.

      The Finnish word you have is also just ‘shit’ and in no way equivalent to ‘cunt’. The word youre looking for is ‘vittu’, although it is usually (mis)translated as ‘fuck’. The common translation is likely due to the prevalence of use of both ‘fuck’ and ‘vittu’ and their similar severity rather than meaning.

      The German Scheiße is most definitely not on the same level here, that would be more like shit.

      The more direct equivalent IMHO is Fotze.

      Isn’t the Italian one just like stupid/turd/stupid turd?
      Maybe ‘figa’?

      Also all the slav languages translate to either ‘shit’ or ‘fuck’, neither of which I would associate with cunt.

      Same with Portuguese (‘shit’).

      Greek is just ‘wanker’.

      And Polish is ‘hooker’.
