Finnish term or phrase: Niliaitta
I guess this is a store name in Finnish (maybe I'm wrong), but I have on idea for what it means. I will apprecite if anyone could tell me a possible meaning of this along with alphabetic transliteration into English (i.e. "Ni" of "nitch", "li" of "lily", etc.)

Thank you!

Pantry, or if you do not like pantry(for any reason),then you could call it cellar,but I do not really like this latter one.

It is pronounced as [pæ:ntr:y] or something like that.I can pronounce it perfectly,but unfortunately this site is not able to accept voice recordings in connection with KudoZ items.
