Is the Aromapot like a slow-cooker? I've never heard of that brand and the picture doesn't look like anything I've seen. It kind of looks like the picture of the pot is taken on their dining table, so I wonder if Sauli brought one from Finland to use. Also, from what I've heard, "siippa" is kind of an old-fashioned word for partner-- is that right? Is it a common word for people Sauli's age to use? And is it masculine or gender-neutral? Is it a word you would use when speaking to your partner, or just a word to talk about your partner? I am full of questions today, lol  |

Is it a word you would use when speaking to your partner, or just a word to talk about your partner? I am full of questions today, lol Hey, ask away! That's what this thread is for!  Yes, aromapot is a bit like a slow cooker, but as far as I understand, there is a difference. In my understanding, the slow cooker has some kind of heat source built in it so that it can maintain the temperature (usually using electricity for that). The aromapot, however, does not have a heat source in itself, but the idea is that the food is first pre-cooked so that it's hot, then put in the aromapot, and the pot is sealed. The insulation of the pot maintains the heat, and that heat is used to cook the food until it's ready. I have never used an Aromapot nor a slow cooker, so please, somebody correct me, if I'm wrong! And yes, you're right: Siippa is a bit old-fashioned term. The longer form of it is "aviosiippa". Earlier it used to refer to your married spouse, and very often especially to the man. However, nowadays since there are more and more unmarried couples living together, the term has sort of lost that "married" part and it is just used to refer playfully to the person with whom you are living. I have heard it used more often as a reference to the man of the couple, but sometimes it can mean the woman, too. It is a very endearing term! Somehow I'm not surprised that Sauli likes to use it! |

Thanks, Mia! Siippa sounds like the perfect word for Sauli to use I've never used a slow cooker, but you're right-- it is an electical appliance, and you put the food into it uncooked, and then it cooks safely unattended at a low temperature all day. |

So, is "siippa" used casually for "boyfriend/girlfriend", or is it reserved for a committed or at least deeper relationship? I am curious how Sauli views the relationship based on the vocabulary he uses. Sounds kinda stalker-ish on my part, doesn't it?

People living together in romantic relationship. Siippa covers everything from spouse, partner, hubby to better half. It's cute word, and I'm not surprised Sauli uses it, it suits his vocabulary and style. Fondly used word "siippa" is very  . Not stalker-ish :D, everyone is welcome to ask what ever questions come into their minds about the translations or words like this. |

Oh, I just have to say huge 'thank-yous' to our Finnish experts and to Sauli personal! :D :D :D I finally made the famous meatballs yesterday evening and my quite picky Glambert-junior all but inhaled the whole dish, left me couple to try   I made it, I think, the simplest way possible, if anybody interested. I used mincemeat, very finely chopped onion, sour cream by sight, dried herbs and spices. It came out just perfect! Now our special treat :D |
