Casual words

These words turn up in every relaxed conversation. All of them are spoken, informal Finnish:

Spoken Neutral Finnish English
siisti / makee hieno cool, great
kaveri ystävä mate, friend
juttu asia thing, matter
tosi todella, hyvin really (tosi hyvä — really good)
meininki tunnelma vibe, what's going on
hengailla viettää aikaa to hang out
bileet / bilettää juhlat / juhlia party / to party
moikka / heippa hei / näkemiin hi / bye

Siisti also means tidy in written Finnish — siisti huone is a tidy room. In casual speech, Siistiä! is simply Cool!
