Bedeutung
To be being fixed or improved.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The 'putkiremontti' (pipe renovation) is a major cultural talking point. It is often seen as a financial and emotional burden for apartment owners. Finns have a high rate of home ownership and take great pride in DIY (tee-se-itse) renovations during the summer holidays. Public infrastructure renovations are often discussed in terms of 'veronmaksajien rahat' (taxpayers' money). The phrase is used in sports when a team is performing poorly and needs to change its roster or strategy.
