Usage notes

  • The Karelian Isthmus was ceded to the Soviet Union after WWII and the population was transferred to other parts of Finland. As a result, the whole dialect is all but disappeared and this word is hardly known by current speakers. It is chiefly known through the WWII propaganda song cited above.
  • In the quotation above, marosii is a dialectal spelling in partitive singular.
