Kultureller Hintergrund
The 'Harrastuspassi' (Hobby Pass) is a digital application used in many Finnish cities to help youth find and attend activities. It is socially expected to have a hobby. If you say you are 'menossa harrastuksiin', it is seen as a sign of a balanced life. Outdoor hobbies like 'suunnistus' (orienteering) or 'hiihto' (skiing) are very common destinations for this phrase. The plural 'harrastuksiin' reflects the variety of activities offered by 'Kansalaisopistot' (Community Colleges).
Use the Plural

Case Matters
