Олег Эйхе The most important concept not only in business, but also in any civil legal relations.
One of the most important terms in the modern economy, and therefore in everyday life. In the Russian-Karelian dictionary, I found several useful phrases with the word Šopimuš:
- Kauppašopimuš — trade agreement
- šolmie šopimuš — conclude a contract
- rikkuo šopimuš — violate a contract
- ratifioija šopimuš — ratify a contract
- pitkäaikani šopimuš — long-term contract
- allakirjuttua šopimuš — sign a contract
- keškeyttyä šopimuš — terminate a contract
I think that since it is unrealistic to switch to Karelian completely now, because many of us were not taught it at school, in order to preserve and popularize our trade and financial terms, we can use them at least as modern synonyms. In this way, we will diversify the vocabulary of the residents of the Republic of Karelia, preserve the cultural heritage of our small nations and support the desire for friendship and mutual understanding.
Karelian language for life in the 21st century
Since trade plays a major role in our lives, we buy or sell goods and services every day, I see the study and preservation of the Karelian language for myself, first of all, in this area. Reading the description of the travels of Elias Lönnrot in the first half of the 19th century, I was very surprised by the development of trading skills among the northern Karelians of those years. Our ancestors were successfully engaged in trade throughout Fennoscandia and our task is to preserve all their experience.
I want to select the minimum number of words and simple phrases that anyone can learn to be able to use the Karelian language in everyday life.
