===Finnish=== The [[Finnish language|Finnish]] pronunciation for "euro" is {{IPA|fi|ˈeu̯ro|}}. In Finnish, the form {{lang|fi|sentti}} {{IPA|fi|ˈsentːi|}} is used for the cent – the letter 'c' is generally not used in Finnish, and nativized Finnish words cannot end in consonant combinations like '-nt', therefore an extra vowel '{{lang|fi|i}}' is added. {{lang|fi|euro}} and {{lang|fi|sentti}} are declined like many other existing words ending in {{lang|fi|-o}} and {{lang|fi|-i}}, and {{lang|fi|sentti}} displays [[consonant gradation]] (genitive {{lang|fi|euron}}, {{lang|fi|sen'''t'''in}}). With numerals, the [[partitive case|partitive]] singulars {{lang|fi|euroa}} and {{lang|fi|senttiä}} are used, e.g., {{lang|fi|10 euroa}}. This is abbreviated ''10 €'', where the ''€'' symbol takes the role of the word {{lang|fi|euroa}} (never *''€10'' or *''10€''). The colon notation (''€:a'') must not be used with the partitive of {{lang|fi|euro}} when the number is in the nominative. In general, colon notation should be avoided and, for example, one should write {{lang|fi|euron}} or {{lang|fi|euroa}} instead of ''€:n'' or ''€:a''. Plurals (e.g., {{lang|fi|kymmenet eurot}} "tens of euros") exist, but they are not used with singular numbers (e.g., {{lang|fi|kymmenen euroa}} "ten euro"). {{lang|fi|Sentti}} is problematic in that its primary meaning in colloquial language is "centimeter". Thus, the officially recommended abbreviation of {{lang|fi|sentti}} is {{lang|fi|snt}}, although Finnish merchants generally use a decimal notation (for example ''0,35 €''). '''Slang terms:''' In [[Helsinki slang]], a common nickname for euro is {{lang|fi|ege}}. In [[Tampere]] slang {{lang|fi|Eero}}, a common male name, may be used for euro.
