Editing Moin (section)

=={{lang|fi|Moi}}==
In [[Finland]], a similar greeting {{lang|fi|moi}} ({{IPA|fi|ˈmoi̯|pron}}) is used for "hello", "hi" in the [[Finnish language]]. It may have been borrowed from German in the 19th century. The earliest records of the word occur in Southeast Finland, which had strong connection through [[Viipuri]] to partially German-speaking Estonia and Latvia.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-11-22 |title=Uutta tietoa suomen kielen tutkimuksesta – ”moro” ei tulekaan Tampereelta |url=https://yle.fi/a/74-20061118 |access-date=2025-02-02 |website=Yle Uutiset |language=fi}}</ref> However, {{lang|fi|moi moi}} is used as a good bye, similarly to "bye bye" in English, even with a similar intonation. Both are particularly typical of Southwestern Finnish, but through internal migration spread to the capital and with the help of TV to the rest of the language area. {{lang|fi|Moi}}'s use is identical to that of {{lang|fi|hei}}: diminutive forms {{lang|fi|heippa}} and {{lang|fi|moikka}}, and duplication as a good bye.

{{lang|fi|Moro}} is found in some parts of Finland and has also been used in the same way as {{lang|fi|moi}}. It is theorised that it comes from [[Tampere]] due to its large number of foreign workers and like {{lang|fi|moi}} has been borrowed from [[wikt:morrow|morrow]] and abbreviated.

{{lang|gos|Moi}} is also used in Dutch [[West Low German|Low Saxon]] dialects in the eastern part of the provinces [[Groningen]] and [[Drenthe]].
