That reminds me when I once tried to read a recipe in Finnish, with "fariinisokeri" in it.
In French "farine" means flour, so even if I knew the word jauho, I was pretty sure that fariinisokeri meant sugar that looks like flour, i.e. icing sugar. I was surprised to find this was actually brown sugar :)
Oh yes, icing sugar is tomusokeri. Tomu means dust.
That -e ending is quite common: työste, syöte, pakote, ...
Miete, viete, este, ...
