kerronnaksi

Kerronnaksi is a Finnish term that translates loosely to "twice as much" or "double." It is often used in everyday language to express a multiplication of a quantity by two. For example, if someone is offered one piece of cake and asks for "kerronnaksi," they are requesting two pieces. This phrase is a common and straightforward way to indicate doubling an amount.

The word itself is formed by combining "kerran," meaning "once," and the suffix "-naksi," which denotes a change of state or an equivalent. Therefore, "kerronnaksi" literally implies becoming "once more" or reaching a state of being double. It is a versatile expression that can be applied to various situations, from food portions to financial amounts or even abstract concepts. Its simplicity and directness make it an easily understood part of the Finnish lexicon. The usage is informal but widely accepted in general conversation.
