Bedeutung
To have accepted a situation or person.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Finns value 'reiluus' (fairness). Being 'sujut' is a way to maintain social harmony without needing excessive emotional displays. The concept of 'quits' is common across the Nordics, reflecting a shared history of egalitarian social structures and trade. In Finnish offices, 'olla sujut' is often used after a project review to signal that any criticism was professional, not personal. In the Finnish 'wellness' scene, 'olla sujut itsensä kanssa' is a key goal, similar to 'mindfulness' or 'self-love'.
The 'Money' Rule
Always use 'sujut' after paying back small amounts. It makes the transaction feel friendly and final.
Don't pluralize!
Even if you are talking about 'we' (me olemme), never say 'sujutte' or 'sujuja'. It is always 'sujut'.
