Btw, the opposite of 'arki' is pyhä. (A bit like in English you have holidays!) There is also arkipyhä, which is a holiday that lands on a weekday.

And to make it even better, pyhä can also mean Sunday. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Vaba... vara. Vapa... varras!

...and especially its imperative (+ -s clitic that makes it sound less demanding): varros

But vapa is not a flagpole either, it's a "long and slender object" (Wiktionary).

[Linguaphile]

plagā

kandõ
to bear, to carry

[Naava]

kanto
tree stump

Another meaning of kanto is 'bearing, carrying' but that would be boring.

[Linguaphile]

kant locality, environs, surroundings, area, quarter, neck of the woods

("tree stump" is känd; and then there's kand which is "heel"... and kandma is "to bear, to carry")

[Naava]

Finnish has also kanta for heel! It can also mean 'stem' or 'origin' or 'base', and 'opinion' or 'point of view', and 'a group/collection of something', and a few other things too. I don't know if people couldn't come up with new words anymore or if they just liked this one so much they wanted to call everything kanta.

filosoofia

[Linguaphile]

mõistus

[Naava]

2. memento, keepsake

[Linguaphile]

muinaismuisto

(Also used playfully/sarcastically to say that something is outdated or very old. For example, I found a sentence online stating that "two years and a phone is a muinaismuisto".)
