Recently the New Finglish has developed even more, similarily as the amount of anglicismes has noticeably increased in languages all over the world.
From the Old Finglish I would like to mention few, which drew my attention:
heerkatti (haircut), karpetsi (garbage), loijari (lawyer), rapoli (truoble), vörnitseri (furniture)
Here are some of my favourite new anglicismes in the Finnish language:
brändi (brand), bodari (body builder), buukata (to book, reserve),
deittailla (to date sb), grillata (to grill), hampurilainen (hamburger),
fiilis (feeling), friikki (freak), jees (all right), luuseri (loser),
läppäri (laptop), matsi (match), meikki (make up),
rokkari (rock musician), simppeli (simple), sinkku (single)
trafiikki (traffic), tatska (tattoo), tsekata (to check)
And last but not least, the whole saying: Ota iisisti! = Take it easy! :-)
