Olla = to be, kännissä = in drunkenness.<br /><br />T-ending indicates plural. In case of word känni it doesn't make much difference. Plural is just most commonly used.<br /><br />Kalsarit is a plural just the same way pants/trousers are. Used as the first part of a compound word it’s singular.<br /><br />The stressed syllable is always the first: kAlsarikÄnnit.<br /><br />In russian there's no any similar word/expression. Russians call it simply a home drinking. Instead of that they have an informal name майка-алкоголичка “alcoholic shirt” for a sleeveless low neck T-shirt home drunkards most often have on.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18137201961253913095noreply@blogger.com
