I suppose "putkmies" should say "putkimies"
Never heard "meinata" before. Sounds like it's one of those words taken from Swedish (and after a lookup Wiktionary seems to concur)
Kiitos Tommy, korjasin putkimiehen. :) Joo, 'meinata' on varmaan tullut ruotsista ja on puhekielisempi kuin 'aikoa'.
I remember so well that my teacher told me i cant write "mä olen“， because "mä" is puhekieli and "olen" is kirjakieli. Both of them should me same form. Only "mä oon" and "minä olen". Isn`t it?
I usually say 'mä oon', but I think that in some dialects people say 'mä olen'. Turku area, perhaps?
