manne

1. (derogatory, ethnic slur) Romani man, Gypsy

   Synonyms: see Thesaurus:mustalainen

• The international term romani is preferred in standard Finnish.
• The endonymic Finnish Kalo terms are kaalo (literally “black man”) and kaali (literally “black woman”). The calque tumma (literally “dark one”) is chiefly used by the Roma themselves.
• In Finnish, the Roma generally use mustalainen (literally “black person”), contrasting it with valkolainen (“Finn”, literally “white person”). However, these terms may be considered offensive by younger non-Romani Finns.
