I need a Finnish phrase that is used in the same manner as an exasperated "for fuck's sake" in English.

@silhelm @Neotheta Hah, thank you! My task later on is gathering all the suggestions from this thread. In theory these should go in as individual ones then? But should I also add a stacked version?
I'm chuckling a little, as I chose Finnish next because there had been two suggestions, obviously similar, and I thought it was going to be a quick one

@eclectech @silhelm They don't serve the same used singulary (because they all mean specific things), Finnish is not so simple, our problem is so much nuance when you make different combinations and in what tone/scenario.
We even have a non-swear word that can be basically used in every context depending on how you tone it, it's: "noniin".. and yes, even as like "for fucks sake".

It is extremely clear that a second poll will be required
I'll leave this one to run, then gather all the other suggestions, and as it seems that there are MANY options that are appropriate the final choice can be a popularity contest amongst the Finnish fediverse.
I foolishly selected Finnish as language 6 because I'd had 2 very similar suggestions & it would therefore be quick. Obviously that has NOT turned out to be the case
So, I commend you on your range & depth of swears & I am going to post an extended list in reply to this with a narrowed down requirement in the hope it helps.
Also, please remember it's just for a silly art project
