خلفية ثقافية
The concept of 'kiireettömyys' (hurry-less-ness) is a sought-after luxury in Finnish life, often associated with the sauna and summer cottages. Finns value 'laatu' (quality) over 'vauhti' (speed). Saying there is no hurry is often a sign of respect for the worker's craft. It is considered polite to use this phrase even if you have a slight hurry, just to make the other person feel comfortable. The Finnish relationship with nature dictates a slower pace. You cannot rush the changing of the seasons or the growth of a forest.
