Were you wondering what “Tay” means?

Back in the day, some Finns in America had a hard time learning to pronounce English words, and the result was sometimes called “Finn-glish.” For example, the letters “p” and “b” were often interchanged. They meant to say “day” but what came out was “tay” because “d” and “t” sounded the same to them.
