Significado
To have good social skills.
Contexto cultural
In Finland, 'getting along' often means respecting the 'silent space' of others. You don't need to talk constantly to 'tulla toimeen'. Finnish employers value 'tulla toimeen' because it implies a lack of workplace drama and a focus on the task at hand. On Finnish social media, being 'helposti toimeentuleva' is a common way to describe oneself as low-maintenance and friendly. In rural Finland, 'tulla toimeen' still carries a strong connotation of being self-sufficient and managing with what you have.
The 'Kanssa' Rule
Always put the person in the -n form (genitive) before 'kanssa'. It's the most common mistake for learners!
Use Adverbs
Add 'hyvin' (well) or 'toimeen' (okay) to sound more natural. 'Tulen hyvin toimeen' sounds much more fluent than just 'Tulen toimeen'.
