Neekeri

From Fresh Dictionary

Finnish

Noun

1. (neutral, decreasingly common) a negro, a person of african descent.
2. (varying from pejorative to humorous) a person with significantly darker than average skin tone.
3. (usually humorous) an imaginary "faqueer" kind of a worker. Talking about an extremely difficult job: Kukahan neekeri me saadaan tekemään se? Who's the nigger you think we will get to do it?

Originally non-pejorative, but more and more often used in a pejorative manner. Many right-wing people use this instead of nekru, so to remain within somewhat acceptable terms in the public.

The humorousness of the second case is often interpreted by the person in question, so extreme care must be observed.
