| | Talkoot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Talkoot (from Finnish: talkoo, almost always used in plural, talkoot) is a group of people gathering to work together, for instance, to build or repair something. |
 | | The word is borrowed into Finland-Swedish as talko (ett talko, talkot, flera talkon alternatively en talko, talkon, flera talkor[1]), but unknown to most Swedes. |
 | | It is the cultural equivalent of common work in a village community, although adopted to the conditions of Finland, where traditionally many families lived in isolated farms, often miles away from the nearest village. |
