esikko & kirma talk it out 🌚 for @halfmoonhowl ❤️

[sparrowrising]

He takes the name Esikko for the friendly little primrose, because it's been years now and he wants so badly to move on and let go and just be, if not happy, then at least content. Primroses are nice and calm and they can be eaten in a soup to soothe a cold. And he feels so cold all the time, he'd like someone to soothe it for him, and he can do this, he can let her go, live a life, die a death.

25 words a week challenge - Week 2.

Week 2!

This time I went for the “dictionary” approach and looked at Wiktionary, choosing one word with each letter that I liked the look of. This will be an interesting one as I have no idea yet what they mean :D

If anyone reads through my examples, please let me know any mistakes. :)

Nouns

aho

meaning: glade (grassy open or cleared space in a forest, especially one that is a result of slash-and-burn cultivation)

English ashes also comes from this word. Probably because of the burning?

ahonmansikka - wild strawberry

Kävelin metsässä ja tulin ahoon. - I was walking in the forest and arrived at a glade.

baana

meaning: road (slang) - from bana in Swedish (that was my guess. But I actually liked the word due to the resemblance to banana - some forms might get me confused :D)

Ajan baanalla. - I’m driving on the road.

cocktailkutsut

meaning: cocktail party

c only appears in foreign words, so not a very easy choice but of course they are used in compounds and such

kutsut means party, invitation (plural form)

Cocktailkutsut oli hauskaa. - The cocktail party was fun.

deitti

meaning: date (a person you’re dating)

a nice example of a foreign word adapted to Finnish spelling

tt-t gradation

Deittini oli söpö poika. - My date was a cute boy. (I hope it works like this, and doesn’t give the impression I’m talking about a child. I couldn’t find a good word for “guy”)

esikko

meaning: primrose

kk-k gradation

Esikko on kaunis kukka. - Primrose is a beautiful flower.

fikka

meaning: pocket (slang)

this one also looks like coming from Swedish (ficka)

kk-k gradation

Minulla ei ole fikkoja housuilla(ni). - I don’t have pockets on my trousers.

griippi

meaning: griffin (mythical animal)

pp-p gradation

Griippi on myyttinen olento. - The griffin is a mythical creature.

haalari

meaning: overalls, onesie, jumpsuit (usually in plural)

Ostin uusia haalarit vauvalle. - I bought a new onesie for the baby.

johto-oppi

meaning: derivation (for words)

finally a language-related word :D

johtaa:  To derive, traceback.

~ sana latinasta = to derive a word from Latin, trace a word back to its Latin origins.

So it’s the study of derivation!

kohtuu

meaning: moderateness, reasonableness, as an adjective: reasonable, as an adverb: reasonably

Kohtuu on tärkeää, kun opiskelut kieliä. - Moderateness is important when you study languages. (Or not, haha!)

molukkirapu

meaning: horseshoe crab

soihtu

meaning: torch

Viesin soihtun minun kanssani luolalle. - I took a torch with me to the cave.

äkkiryhmä

meaning: flash mob (nice that Finnish has a word for this!)

äkki - sudden, ryhmä - group, team

Osallistuin äkkiryhmään. - I participated in a flash mob.

örkki 

meaning: orc

cool spelling!

Suosikkejani “Lord of the Rings”-elokuviassa on örkkejä. - My favourites in the LOTR movies are the orcs.

Verbs

piffata

meaning: to pay for someone else’s food (slang)

I like finding colloquial and slang expressions during this challenge :D

meaning: to get tired, exhausted; to be missing

Uuvuin juhlassa. - I got tired at the party.

vislata

meaning: to whistle (colloquial)

Kävelen ja vislatan. - I’m walking and whistling.

zoomata

meaning: to zoom, focus

not a wide range of words with z either so we have to do with loanwords converted to Finnish use :)

Zoomaan kameran. - I focus the camera.

from Swedish nätt / German nett

Hän on nätti tyttö. - She is a pretty girl.
