kymppejä

Kymppejä is a Finnish slang term that generally refers to a ten-euro banknote. The word "kymppi" is derived from "kymmenen," meaning ten, and the "-jä" suffix is a common colloquial addition. It is widely used in informal settings when discussing money, particularly when referring to a specific denomination of cash. While primarily associated with the ten-euro note, in some contexts, it can also refer to other things that are valued at ten, such as a score of ten out of ten in a rating system or a ten-pack of a product. The usage is informal and not typically found in formal written Finnish. Its prevalence in spoken language makes it a common term for Finns when exchanging money or discussing prices in casual conversation. The term is straightforward and easily understood by most Finnish speakers.
