Dictionary of Contemporary Finnish (Kielitoimiston sanakirja)

The Institute maintains Kielitoimiston sanakirja, with more than 100,000 entries describing the current common vocabulary of the Finnish language. The dictionary also includes information on meaning, spelling, inflection, style, use and context. The dictionary has been published both in print and online, and the latest online edition is available free of charge.

The revised versions of the dictionary rest on the Finnish Language Board’s latest decisions and contain a number of new entries, as well as new definitions and descriptions. The dictionary is based on the Institute’s comprehensive and constantly increasing word archive and database of modern Finnish.
