Have you ever come across this word? Did you look it up in the dictionary and could not find it? Well, I came across it and it is not listed in any dictionary. And now that I know what it means, I hear it all the time around (I am sure I heard it also before, I was just ignoring it).

And it means (I won't keep you waiting any longer), well, it means: maybe. Same as ehkä, kenties, kukaties.

People use so many "unofficial" words in their spoken language. I will post them here when I encounter new ones.

Meanwhile, just came to my mind, here are the "spoken" or "shortened" variants for the numbers:

yksi = y
kaksi = ka
kolme = ko
neljä = ne
viisi = vi
kuusi = ku
seitsemän = seiska, seittemän
kahdeksan = kasi, kaheksan
yhdeksän = ysi, yheksän
kymmenen = kymppi
