jääkittäin

Jääkittäin is a Finnish slang term used to refer to an ice cream cone. It is a portmanteau of the Finnish words "jäätelö" (ice cream) and "käärö" (wrap or cone). The term is commonly used in informal contexts, particularly among younger people, and is widely understood throughout Finland.

The enjoyment of ice cream, especially in a cone, is a popular pastime in Finland, particularly during the warmer summer months. Jääkittäin can be found in a variety of flavors and sizes at ice cream parlors, convenience stores, and supermarkets across the country. While the traditional ice cream cone is the most common form, the term can also encompass other forms of ice cream served in a cone-shaped container. The prevalence of the term reflects the simple pleasure and widespread consumption of this frozen treat in Finnish culture.
