1950s-style slang consider the modern chiefly English-derived slang terms neologisms. Nevertheless, even if words are borrowed to the slang, they are still in the present day modified to conform to the phonotactics of the slang. As noted below, the phonotactics are slightly different from typical colloquial Finnish. Language characteristics The borrowed words may violate phonological rules of the Finnish language, such as vowel harmony. They also include phonemes /b/, /d/ and /g/ and consonant clusters such as /sn/ rarely found in other Finnish dialects. Yet the words remain indisputably Finnish, incorporating Finnish grammar and mostly obeying Finnish phonotactics. Some rather arbitrary, but creative and distinctly Finnish expressive constructions are often used especially in the modern slang, e.g. päräyttää. Furthermore, arbitrary modifications are found — these make the resulting slang words alien both to the speakers of regular Finnish and the borrowing language. For example, Finland Swedish (Sipoo dialect) 'cranky' is modified into 'drunkard', where the added 's' is arbitrary, as is the voicing change of 'k' to 'g'. Derivation of , 'a bicycle' from is even more convoluted: in the Swedish language game is , which became and further – only the 'l' is etymologically original. In fact, the newer abbreviation of to loses even the 'l'. Some distinctive aspects in Helsinki slang are: Very swift pace of pronunciation and speech The voiced consonants , which are rare in standard Finnish, are abundant: ('to dwell'), ('to break, to malfunction'), ('dork'), ('work'), ('girl'), ('to sleep'). Many speakers, though, especially in the modern variety, use several of these words with voiceless : , , . Consonant clusters in the beginning of words, which appear natively only in south-western Finnish dialects, are commonplace, like ('Helsinki'), ('sick'), ('knife'), ('bottle') Shortened or diminutive forms of words. Common noun endings used include -is ( 'open fire', "condition"), -ari ( 'the street Fleminginkatu', 'a grill stand') and -de ( and 'heads and tails' (< Standard Finnish and 'ibid.')) Slang and foreign word roots do not conform to vowel harmony, although their suffixes do (, pro , < Sörnäinen), pro < Töölö, pro , 'trousers'). This does not affect native Finnish words. With some speakers this goes even further; Standard Finnish and appear to be merging as , a new neutral vowel. Before the modern period, this change has happened in Estonian and other southern Finnic languages. Surplus S appearing in beginning of words, forming consonant clusters: 'train'
