kadunmies

Finnish. Rfv-sense: man in the street brittletheories (talk) 16:44, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

This is very easy to cite, just see man in the street and Google Books. IMO it even counts as clearly widespread use. — SURJECTION ^{/ T / C / L /} 16:46, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

Agree with Surjection: widespread use, it's even in Kielitoimiston sanakirja. However, the second sense, "laitapuolen kulkija" sounds dubious to me. "Kadunmies" refers to an average guy. I was tempted to delete the 2nd sense right away, but let's give it a chance. --Hekaheka (talk) 16:59, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

"man in/on the street" (now sense 1) has been cited. I can find some uses for sense 2 ("homeless person, drifter, vagrant") as well, but I'll see if I can find CFI compliant cites for it. — SURJECTION ^{/ T / C / L /} 17:45, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

Sense 2 should now be cited as well. — SURJECTION ^{/ T / C / L /} 18:06, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

RFV passed. Given the fact that two natives confirmed usage, and the fact that multiple citations were quickly found easily shows to me that the current definitions are easily attestable. Vininn126 (talk) 18:10, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

Well, in any case, the quotes show they are attestable and they were not contested. — SURJECTION ^{/ T / C / L /} 22:01, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
