pumpernikkeli

Finnish

Etymology

The word is borrowed from German Pumpernickel but otherwise these two products have little in common.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /ˈpumperˌnikːeli/, [ˈpumpe̞rˌnikːe̞li]
• Rhymes: -ikːeli
• Syllabification^(key): pum‧per‧nik‧ke‧li

Noun

pumpernikkeli

1. A biscuit-like, often oval-shaped baked good made of gingerbread (piparkakku) dough and topped with a layer of sugar icing.

Usage notes

The Finnish pumpernikkeli and pumpernickel bread are very different products, as the latter is very similar to the German German Pumpernickel.
