Blogi, päivä 26

Tänään menin kaverille illanistujaisiin ja kissa tuli nukkumaan syliin joten en voinut liikkua. Mitään sen ihmeellisempää ei tullut tehtyä.

On the cat

"Cat" words:

Kissa [ˈk̟is̠ːɑ̝] is borrowed from Swedish "kisse/kissa"

Katti [ˈkɑ̝t̪ːi] is from Swedish "katt"

Kasi [ˈkɑ̝s̠i] is related to a common word for cat in many other languages that are related to Finnish, and in Finland it is dialectal (mostly eastern Finland)

Kisu [ˈk̟is̠u] is a more informal word but does mean a cat.

Kissimirri [ˈk̟is̠ːiˌmirːi] is also informal.

There are a few types of cat words you might run into, like:

Maatiaiskissa [ˈmɑ̝ːt̪iɑ̝i̯s̠ˌk̟is̠ːɑ̝], a landrace cat

Kotikissa [ˈko̞t̪iˌk̟is̠ːɑ̝], a household cat

Rotukissa [ˈro̞t̪uˌk̟is̠ːɑ̝], a purebred cat

Fun Facts!

- Cats are not native to Finland, they were brought in by the vikings as ship cats that catch mice and rats.

- Newer words for "cat" are "kiisu" and "kassi" from Estonian, which have spread through a few very famous meme (one pictured below)(Although kassi comes from Estonian "kass").

- "Kissanristiäiset" (literally: cat christening) is a word used to mean a "pointless social event"

[Explanation to this meme: as Estonian is related to Finnish, words can sound like "drunk Finnish" a lot. The word "kass" sounds a lot like "kassi" (bag) in Finnish. Kiisu just sounds cute to Finnish speakers.]
