Especially in the IT world. Printteri tilttasi, klikkaa linkkiä, koodi bugittaa, buuttaa serveri!
- kookamamie 1y agoWho needs English based IT words when things like "ikikiersiö" is an option!
- coffeebeqn 1y agoI think even that is more 90s and it’s getting replaced by just using the English words - sometimes pronounced as if it was Finnish but the final form is that part of the language is just English. Brainrot globalization!
- praash 1y agoWe read and write so much more English than Finnish when working with software, so the English terms bubble up naturally. I have a strong dislike against setting the language of my OS, or most applications, to Finnish. Application translations are extremely inconsistent, sometimes even nonsensical. The absolute worst case is seeing only translated error messages without error codes. It's nearly impossible to search help or follow step-by-step guides. I definitely should improve my knowledge of "proper" Finnish IT terms. Some of them have very intuitive meanings: - hashing -> hajautus: (chaotically) splitting, scattering things away from each other
