Long words are often just short words glued together: kirja (book) + kauppa (shop) = kirjakauppa; rauta (iron) + tie (road) + asema (station) = rautatieasema, the “iron-road station”. Break a long word into its pieces and it stops being scary.
To ask the way: Anteeksi, missä on…? — Excuse me, where is…? Or Onko täällä…? — Is there a … here?
