Finnish
Etymology
< Russian моро́женое (moróženoje, “ice cream”)
Pronunciation
Noun
marosi
- (dialectal, Central Karelian Isthmus, obsolete) ice cream
- 1942, “Niet Molotoff”, Matti Jurva (music), performed by Matti Jurva and Kristalli-tanssiorkesteri, lyrics by Tatu Pekkarinen and Robert von Essen:
- Finlandia, Finlandia, sinne taas matkalla oli Iivana; Kun Molotoffi lupas: "Juu kaikki harosii; huomenna jo Helsingissä syödään marosii"; Njet Molotoff, njet Molotoff, valehtelit enemmän kuin itse Bobrikov.
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.
