Etymology 2

[edit]

Probably through figurative use of monni (etymology 1, as in the sense "child"; compare kuha, simppu). The military sense is attested since the early 20th century and has many variants, but this is likely the original based on attestation dates.[1]

Noun

[edit]

monni

  1. (military slang) rookie, recruit, newbie
    Synonyms: see Thesaurus:monni
    • 1928, Arvo Kolima, translated by Private Juurikas, me and the newbies – stories from the old barracks, Sotamies Juurikas, minä ja monnit – juttuja vanhasta kasarmista, WSOY:
    • 1945 [1944], Carl Mothander, translated by Katri Ingman, Paroneista bolševikkeihin: viron viimeaikaisia oloja ja tapahtumia, K.J. Gummerus, translation of Baroner, bönder och bolsjeviker i Estland, page 67:
      Muistin vielä sen simputuksen, jonka alaisiksi me »monnit» olimme joutuneet »vanhojen miesten» ja »kantajääkäreiden» taholta pienessä norrlantilaisessa varuskuntakaupungissa silloin, kun vuosisatamme ei vielä ollut monenkaan vuoden ikäinen.
      I still remembered the hazing we "newbies" had been brought under by the "old men" and "permanent infantry" in the small Norrlander garrison town when our century was barely a few years of age.
