Talk:maitojauho

What does the context label "misconception" mean? That maitojauho actually means something other than "milk powder", and the sense "milk powder" is a misconception? That "milk powder" is actually called something else in Finnish and uses of maitojauho are in error? This seems like the kind of thing it would be good for usage notes to clarify. - -sche (discuss) 06:40, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I agree. This should be explained in "Usage notes" or at least somewhere so that it incorporates the related term maitojauhe. Nevertheless, from what's given, I can tentatively deduce that the component jauho is used incorrectly due to association with the word jauhe, the word which in fact means "powder". As such, maitojauhe should be the/a correct word for "milk powder" and speakers would presumably use the word maitojauho for that same meaning despite it not being an actual valid fit for the meaning, since the component jauho means "flour". So, my guess is that maitojauho is an erroneous alternative form of maitojauhe, as irregardless is an erroneous alternative form of regardless in English. Can a native speaker confirm this?

 * Aha! That makes sense, thank you. I've updated the entry. - -sche (discuss) 15:24, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
