    Pälä-pälä-pälä in Finnish.

    ä marks the sound marked with "a" in "cat".

    Huh. Sounds a lot like Japanese ペラペラ (perapera) which is used to denote incessant talking/blabbering (but also fluently talking in another language).

      I just saw this strip of The far side, where a duck says how its wife just say "quack quack quack" in the morning and "quack quack quack" in the night, instead of "blah blah blah".

          English here. One of the few things I remember from my French lessons was a comic where one character said it «... et patati, et patata.»

          I forget where in France that was supposed to be. We'd moved on from the Tricolor books set in La Rochelle (west coast) at that point, I think, but it might still have been there.

                          Oh yes, "et patati et patata" is pretty common too!

                            That sounds like a cognate of the (American) English usage “potato, potato” (but pronounced poh-TAY-toe, poh-TAH-toe) to indicate the lack of distinction between two items that have been presented as different.

                                      That's more from Jewish/Yiddish roots, I believe.
