Bedeutung
To have good social relations.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Finland, 'tulla toimeen' is often the highest praise for a coworker. It implies you are not 'vaikea' (difficult). In Northern contexts, 'tulla toimeen' often refers to surviving the nature and elements with 'muilla keinoilla' (other means). Finnish 'flat hierarchy' means that a boss is expected to 'tulla toimeen' with subordinates just as much as the other way around. In cities, 'tulla toimeen' is used to describe the 'naapurisopu' (neighborly peace) of apartment living.

Don't over-romanticize
Saying you 'tulla toimeen' with your partner is a sign of a boring relationship in Finland.
