jääkiks

Jääkiks is a Finnish colloquial term that refers to ice cream. The word is derived from "jää" meaning ice and "keksi" meaning biscuit or cookie, with the diminutive suffix "-s" added. While the literal translation might suggest a frozen biscuit, in common usage, "jääkiks" is simply understood as ice cream.

The term is informal and is most often used in casual conversation, particularly among younger people or in relaxed settings. It is not typically found in formal writing or official contexts. The popularity of ice cream in Finland means that such colloquialisms are common and well-understood within the culture.

"Jääkiks" can refer to any type of ice cream, whether it's scooped from a tub, served in a cone, or a pre-packaged frozen treat. Its use reflects the everyday, approachable nature of the treat itself.
