svetisismi
Appearance
Finnish
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Latin Suecia (“Sweden”) + -ismi, by analogy with terms such as anglismi and latinismi.
Pronunciation
[edit]Noun
[edit]svetisismi
- A loanword from Swedish.
- An expression influenced by Swedish, often one that is regarded as non-standard in the target language, particularly in Finnish.
- Synonym: ruotsalaisuus
Usage notes
[edit]- There's no established English equivalent for svetisismi, but the term "Sveticism" is used in translated articles on this topic.
- Sveticisms are particularly abundant in Finnish for two reasons: a) Finland was part of Sweden from 1323 to 1809 and b) there's a sizable Swedish minority in Finland and therefore Swedish is an official language along with Finnish.
