Dictionary
of Modern Finnish
Kielitoimiston
sanakirja (The new Dictionary of Modern Finnish) is a descriptive monolingual dictionary accurately reflecting
standard Finnish as it is used today. Containing nearly 100,000 entries, it explains
the meaning(s) of each headword, complete with information about orthography, inflected
forms, stylistic register, typical usage and context. A digital edition was
published in 2004 by Kielikone Ltd., and a printed edition followed in 2006. The
digital edition includes a separate glossary of 21,000 Finnish place names and
their inflected forms.
The new dictionary of modern Finnish is an updated, expanded version of Suomen kielen perussanakirja, 1990–94 (the
Basic Dictionary of the Finnish Language) and
CD-Perussanakirja,
1997 (the CD-ROM Basic Dictionary of the
Finnish Language).
