المعنى
Finding happiness in daily existence.
خلفية ثقافية
Enjoying life is often synonymous with 'mökkeily' (staying at a summer cottage). It involves simple things: wood-fired saunas, picking berries, and silence. Compared to the Finnish quiet enjoyment, Mediterranean cultures often express 'nauttia elämästä' through loud family gatherings and long meals. The hashtag #nautinelämästä is used by young Finns to show off travel, brunch, or aesthetic moments, similar to 'living my best life' in English. In Finland, there is a strong emphasis on work-life balance. 'Nauttia elämästä' is seen as a right, not just a luxury, especially during the 4-5 weeks of paid summer vacation.
The -sta Rule
Always associate 'nauttia' with the suffix '-sta'. It's one of the most common 'verb + case' pairs in Finnish.
Modesty
When a Finn says they are 'nauttimassa elämästä,' they are often being quite sincere and deep, not just bragging.

Not at all. It's very common in casual speech, though you might shorten 'minä' to 'mä'.
'Tykätä' is 'to like' (a preference). 'Nauttia' is 'to enjoy' (an experience).
You can use both. 'Elämästäni' means 'from MY life,' but 'elämästä' is the more common, general way to say it.
