svetisismi
Finnish
Etymology
< Latin Suecia (“Sweden”), formed in accordance with other similar terms, e.g. anglismi (“Anglicism”)
Noun
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.
Usage notes
- 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.
