köken: From Proto-Finnic *rak'as, cognate with Karelian rakas (“willing, eager, kind, dear”). Traditionally held to derive from Proto-Finno-Ugric *rakka (“near; to approach”) (compare Hungarian rokon (“relative”)), but more recently proposed to be borrowed from Proto-Germanic *frakaz (“greedy, lustful”); the former theory suffers from a lack of cognates in other languages.
Olet minulle rakas.
Nämä olivat minun rakkaimmat leluni, kun olin lapsi.
