Invoke: Finnish speakers by parastra 2006-06-22 21:16:33
Can anyone help me out here? I've got a couple of vocabulary questions...

1. Does "aitta" have another meaning besides "shed, storehouse, outbuilding, etc"? Or alternatively, does "aitan" have any separate meaning other than being the genitive form of "aitta"?

2. What does "kumpa" mean?

3. What does "ootat" mean?

4. Why are Finnish dictionaries so expensive? :D

Thanks in advance!
