Abstract
In this chapter, we explore the language use of people who speak Finnish as one language and either Swedish, Estonian, or English as another. The analysis concentrates on mixed compound nouns, that is, complex nouns which have one part in Finnish and the other in another language. We discuss how these instances of language mixing reflect the everyday life and discourse practices of the participants and how languages can sometimes be mixed for no detectable reason at all.
