The problem is when they have mishmashed English and Finnish to make brand new words. Kowsit Lats = Cow Shit Flats, where people put their cows out to pasture.
You’re going to have to give some hints - my browser can’t translate that and Google thinks I’m looking for exercises, doesn’t even recognize it as Finnish……. Otherwise I’ll have to remember it as “cow shit flats” because I know what that is
The current pronunciation is closer to Cow Sit Lats.
“Finlanders gave the name to a broad meadow at the top of a hill where local farmers grazed their cattle. They had trouble pronouncing the English combinations “sh” and “fl,” so in their “Finnglish” argot they called the place Kowsit Lats.”
