Keksiä is
to invent something and
to come up with something. The
four important forms are
keksiä, keksin, keksin and
keksinyt. The
imperative form
keksi looks the same as the basic form of
keksi, which is
a cookie or
a bisquit. If you can't decide which cookies to buy in
Finnish grocery stores, here's my top 5:
- Café au LU Bastogne
- Jaffa
- Domino
- Ballerina
- Carneval
