Well, "Nokia" is a name, not a word. Also, I have no idea how common these words are in english, even in specialist usage... The only one I have heard about before in English is "sauna", the only(?) Finnish word that has truly become an internationalism...

Ok, Rapakivi seemed to be used in specialist usage, referring to some kind of granite, anyway. Too bad it doesn't have an article, yet...

I don't think "motti" is used in English. If it is, it would only be to describe Finnish tactics. RickK 08:10, Feb 17, 2005 (UTC)
