Dictionary of Contemporary Finnish

The current printed edition was first published in 2006 and is based on the 2004 digital version of the same name.

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.

It is an expanded and modernized version of the Suomen kielen perussanakirja (Basic Dictionary of the Finnish Language), printed between 1990 and 1994 (and digitalized as the CD-Perussanakirja in 1997).

Together with the Nykysuomen sanakirja, the new dictionaries form a very comprehensive collection of information on the modern Finnish language.
