Kijuttató

Kijuttató is a term that appears in informal Finnish and is not part of the standard Finnish lexicon. It is encountered mainly in colloquial speech, online communities, or in regional dialects, rather than in authoritative dictionaries. Because it is not widely attested, its precise meaning can vary depending on context and speaker.

Etymology and form

The word seems to be a compound built from a stem related to juttu, meaning story or news, with an agentive or nominal suffix. Because kijuttató is not a widely standardized term, its exact derivation and grammatical status can differ in use. In many cases, speakers use such formations playfully or colorfully to describe a person who tells, shares, or retells information.

Meaning and usage

In contexts where it is used, kijuttató refers to a person who tells stories or passes along information. The connotation can range from a lighthearted storyteller to a gossipy or rumor-spreading figure, depending on tone and setting. As a nonstandard term, it may carry humorous, affectionate, or mildly critical nuance, and it is rarely appropriate for formal writing.

Context and reception

Because kijuttató is not a mainstream or widely accepted term, its usage is highly dependent on the social group and region. Readers encountering the word should consider the speaker’s intent and the surrounding discourse to determine whether it is meant affectionately, humorously, or critically.
