Finns seem to like coining neologisms as well. The language is extremely productive, with every base word potentially yielding dozens of derivatives. There's even a national "language office" that tries to promote Finnish alternatives to foreign loans. Some fail to catch on, but many do.

For example, the word for telephone is "puhelin" which is derived from the verb for "to chat" using a postfix (-in) that indicates a tool of some kind.

Computers are literally "knowledge machines". The word for electricity is also interesting: It's "sähkö" which I guess derives from "sähinä", meaning buzz.
