I’ve always had the belief that the best way to start learning a new language is by learning the words that will guarantee the most extreme reaction from its recipients i.e. either wide eyes, then a burst of laughter, or a sudden punch to the face, with an all out brawl ensuring. This will ensure that the meaning of your newly learnt word will be quickly imprinted in your mind, and, if you’re not careful, a black eye as well.

So, it is with much relish and evil glee that I present you with what should be, for all you non-fijian speaking readers out there, your first foray into the groggy, murky swear word list that is Fijian swears. Bear in mind a few points:

a) Swears are generally tagged NSFW i.e. Not Safe For Work. So if you don’t want your boss reading over your shoulder the definition of sona levu, then be careful when reading this article at work.

b) I will only be covering the most popular fijian swears, since as with any other language, one word is usually translated into many of the different dialects. Of course, with time, the popularity of certain swear words change, so for now this list is a reflection of whats the most popular trend in the filth department.

c) Please note that if you are in any way offended by anything vulgar, sexual, etc. this is the point where you close this webpage and load up something more friendly. Infact, here, click this: Hello Kitty. If you are offended, and you’re still reading this, then obviously your thirst for adventure is quite strong. Enjoy.

d) As with all of my previous posts, while I’ve tried to ensure that the contents of this article is accurate, it is open to correction and discussion. If you see something that is wrong and needs correcting, drop a comment and we’ll see what we can do. Just don’t use one of the new swear words listed below while you’re at it

Fijian Swear Words

The way this is going to be done as follows. The fijian swear word is in bold, followed by the spelling in english so that you can pronounce it. Quasi english spelling/pronunciations ensure. You have been warned.

NEW: Audio pronunciation of Fijian Swears is now available! Thanks to AT&T’s Text-to-Speech website, you can now hear the words uttered in a super sexy female british accent. Funny.

Boci:Boh thee) an insult where you call a guy uncircumcised. In Fiji, circumcision is taken as a norm amongst Fijian guys. If you’re not in, you’re not in. Its use isn’t specific to any particular situation, and is generally an insult.

Friend 1: Your hair makes you look stupid.
Friend 2: Boci.

Baku:(Baah Kuu) See Boci. Baku is of the Ra dialect.

Magaichinamu:(ma ngai chee namu) This is one of the most popular swears out there, and one that will pretty much guarantee your status as ‘one with fijian vulgarity.’ The ‘Motherfucker’ of fijian swears. Use this version only when swearing directly towards another person.

Friend 1: Your shirt makes you look stupid.
Friend 2: Magaichinamu.

Magaichinana:(ma ngai chee nana) Similar to magaichinamu though in this case, instead of having sex with your mother, this word is actually directed at her err reproductive area. Best saved for cursing in general.

Caitamana:(Thys tamana) Fuck everyone’s father. A generous swear for a group of people.

Guy to rival sports fans: Caitamana!

Caitiko:(Thy tiko) Fuck you. And just you.

Dou Vei Cai:(Dou vei thy) Go fuck yourselves. Like caitamana this swear is geared towards two or more people, and is usually yelled out in retaliation etc.

Friend1: haha your team lost the game!
Friend2: Do vei cai you and your team…

Drou Vei Cai:(Drou vei thy) This is specifically for two people, telling them and only them to go fuck themselves. Use when you need to direct your insult at specifically two people.

Guy with girlfriend: Haha you lost the bet. Time to pay up.
Friend to guy with girlfriend: Drou vei cai =_=

Tonoka na i nomu cici:(Tonoka na nomu ee thee thee) Act of poking someone’s anus, or buttock area in general. Not necessarily full penetration, but more of a playful tom-foolery poke. Unless you’re a more in-depth sort of person.
