Significado
To have a good relationship.
Contexto cultural
Finns value 'sopu' (harmony) and often avoid direct confrontation. 'Tulla toimeen' is a way to express that things are peaceful without needing to be overly emotional. In Finnish companies, 'tulla toimeen keskenään' is a key trait for 'hyvä tyyppi' (a good guy/colleague). It means you don't cause drama. Siblings are expected to 'tulla toimeen keskenään'. If they fight, parents often say 'Olkaa nyt kunnolla ja tulkaa toimeen!'. In apartment buildings (kerrostalo), 'tulla toimeen' means following the rules and not making noise, respecting the 'taloyhtiö' (housing company) peace.
The 'Hyvin' Booster
Always add 'hyvin' (well) to sound more positive. 'Tulemme toimeen' alone can sometimes sound a bit neutral or even slightly cold.
Don't forget the 'toimeen'
If you just say 'tulemme keskenään', it makes no sense. The word 'toimeen' is the engine of the phrase.
