Successfully communicating a message.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Finns value 'selkokieli' (plain language) to ensure everyone can be understood, reflecting a deep social equality. In Sami regions, the right to 'tulla ymmärretyksi' in one's native language in official services is a significant legal and cultural topic. In meetings, silence is often used to process information. 'Tulla ymmärretyksi' often happens after a long pause, not during rapid-fire talk. Finns are heavy users of text-based communication (SMS, Slack). The phrase is often used when discussing the clarity of digital messages.
