    Congrats you splitted the word from the right spot.

    “Asia” means thing and “asian” means “thing’s”

    “Tuntea” means knowing or feeling and “tuntija” means a person who knows or feels.

    So asiantuntija is somebody who knows about the that one spesific thing.

    Also as a completelly unneccessary attack. Your whole language sounds like what our elementary students sound like when they are learning sweden.

      As a linguaphile and a conlanger I absolutely love how that parses out. Well done, Finnish.
