Etymology

[edit]

edus (representation) +‎ kunta. Coined by Finnish folklorist and linguist Daniel Europaeus in 1853. The initial component edus is a noun that is no longer used independently to mean "representation" in modern Finnish; it has been replaced by the derivative edustus.

Pronunciation

[edit]
  • IPA(key): /ˈedusˌkuntɑ/, [ˈe̞dus̠ˌkun̪t̪ɑ̝]
  • Rhymes: -untɑ
  • Hyphenation(key): edus‧kunta

Noun

[edit]

eduskunta

  1. the Finnish Parliament
  2. (by extension, rare) any parliament
    Synonym: parlamentti

Usage notes

[edit]
  • As the names of institutions in general, eduskunta is always uncapitalized in Finnish.
  • The parliaments of other countries may always be called parlamentti, but some of them are usually referred to with a term that is derived from their original language, see "synonyms" below.
