In formal contexts, the honorary title neuvos is always used with a modifier which specifies the field in which it has been earned. Due to the culture-specific nature of these titles, the Prime Minister's Office of Finland recommends to not translate them. However, the Ministry for Foreign Affairs is the only branch where the titles are translated, e.g. ulkoasiainneuvos is translated as counsellor for foreign affairs. A list of many Finnish honorary titles is found in the Finnish Wikipedia article Arvonimet Suomessa. ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== neuvosto ==== See also ==== kansleri === References === === Further reading === “neuvos”, in Kielitoimiston sanakirja [Dictionary of Contemporary Finnish]‎[4] (in Finnish) (online dictionary, continuously updated), Kotimaisten kielten keskuksen verkkojulkaisuja 35, Helsinki: Kotimaisten kielten tutkimuskeskus (Institute for the Languages of Finland), 2004–, retrieved 3 July 2023
