Inari Saami Idiom Dictionary
Description
This Inari Sámi idiom dictionary contains more than four hundred Inari Sámi idioms – sayings that are established in the Inari Sámi language and whose meaning does not necessarily open up through the original meaning of the words. The Idioms compiled in the book are explained in Finnish, and to clarify the meaning, example sentences are given in which the phrases are used.
The Idioms in this book have been collected by Anna Idström with the help of Hans Morottaja, who speaks Inari Sámi as his mother tongue. The book is suitable for everyone who is interested in the Sámi language and especially the Inari Sámi language, as well as those who have advanced in learning the language!
