Bedeutung
Reaching the destination.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Finns value 'asiallisuus' (matter-of-factness). Being 'perillä asioista' is a sign of a reliable and competent person. In Finland, it is polite to text 'Olen perillä' as soon as you arrive, especially if you are traveling to a remote cottage. Finnish meetings are often short. Being 'perillä' before the meeting starts is expected. Because of the vast forests, 'perillä' has a connotation of safety and having successfully navigated the wild.
The 'State' Rule
Always use 'olla perillä' when you are standing still at your destination. If you are moving, use 'perille'.
Case Matters
When talking about a topic you understand, don't forget the -sta/-stä ending on the topic word!
