Finglish
The term
Finglish was introduced by professor Martti Nisonen in
1920s in
Hancock,
Michigan to describe a linguistic phenomenon he encountered in America. As the term describes, Finglish is a mixture of
English and
Finnish. In Finglish the English lexical items are nativized and inserted into the framework of Finnish morphology and syntax. Finglish is found in any place in Finland, where international contacts and
popular culture exists.
Examples include vörkkiä (to work), spreijata (to spray), hengailla (to hang) and finanssi (a finance).
