المعنى
To be under pressure or in a difficult situation.
خلفية ثقافية
Finns value self-reliance. Admitting you are 'tiukilla' is a way to be honest about struggle without losing face, as it implies you are still trying to manage. In Finnish universities, 'olla tiukilla' is almost a permanent state of being, often joked about in student songs and memes regarding the 'opintotuki' (student grant). Using this phrase with a boss is a standard way to negotiate workload. It is seen as more professional than saying 'I am stressed'. The phrase gained weight during the 1990s recession. For many older Finns, it evokes memories of a time when the whole nation was 'tiukilla'.
The 'Kanssa' Rule
Always use 'kanssa' (with) when specifying the cause of the pressure. 'Tiukilla rahan kanssa' sounds much more natural than any other construction.
Don't be too strict!
Remember that 'tiukkana' (strict) and 'tiukilla' (under pressure) are opposites in terms of control. One is the hammer, the other is the nail!
