SUVI or Basic Dictionary of FinSL
Suvi is an online dictionary of Finnish Sign Language. The dictionary contains signs in the subject areas of basic signs, numbers and expressions of numbers, sexuality and babies, place names, fairy tales and health care signs. Suvi was built in 2003 in a collaboration of the Finnish Association of the Deaf, the Finnish Language Research Center and the Blue Meteorite as well as Microsoft in Finland. Suvi is regularly expanded and improved. Today the Finnish Association of the Deaf is responsible for maintaining the site.
Signs are searchable by the sign structure and by Finnish keywords.
