[Bug localedata/10935] New: Finnish yes/no option: add “o” for yes


$ LANG=fi_FI.UTF-8 locale -k -c LC_MESSAGES
LC_MESSAGES
yesexpr="^[KkJjYy].*"

In addition to “k” for “kyllä” and “j” for “joo”, “o” for “on” should also be
added for the affirmative response.

‘O’ is for ‘on’, which means ‘[it] is’ (or similar in other grammatical person,
as appropriate), and is how one responds to ‘Onko ...’ (‘Is it ...’), as an
alternative to ‘joo’ or ‘kyllä’ (‘yes’). Colloquially, people say ‘oo’ rather
than ‘on’, so the letter ‘o’ (in addition to ‘j’ and ‘k’) is appropriate.
