Dictionary of Contemporary Finnish[1] (Finnish: Kielitoimiston sanakirja, previously known as the New Dictionary of Modern Finnish)[2] is the most recent dictionary of the modern Finnish language. It is edited by the Institute for the Languages of Finland. The current printed edition was first published in 2006 and is based on the 2004 digital version of the same name. The printed version lacks some features of the electronic version, such as the latter's index of Finnish place names (asuinpaikkahakemisto).
The dictionary is monolingual and attempts to "accurately reflect standard Finnish as it is used today".[3] It explains the meanings of most headwords and provides information about their spelling, inflected forms, stylistic register, usage, and context.[1][2]
