Bedeutung
Starting to think logically again.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Finns value 'tolkku' (common sense) above almost everything. To not have 'järki' is seen as a major character flaw. In Finnish meetings, 'tulla järkiinsä' is often used to describe a pivot back to data-driven decision making. The transition from 'hulluus' (madness/passion) to 'järki' is a recurring theme in Finnish national romantic literature. Parents often use the imperative 'Tule järkiisi' when teenagers want to do something risky, like driving too fast.
