معنی
Using a train for transport.
زمینه فرهنگی
Train travel is seen as a highly reliable and 'green' choice. VR (the state railway) is a central part of Finnish infrastructure. The 'Quiet Car' (hiljainen osasto) is strictly respected. Finns value the silence during their train journeys. The night train to Lapland is a iconic Finnish experience, often called the 'Santa Claus Express'. Winter weather often causes delays, which is a common topic of 'small talk' (or complaining) among Finns.
The -lla Rule
Remember that for almost all vehicles in Finnish (bus, train, bike, car), you use the -lla/llä ending to say 'by'.
Spoken Finnish
In Helsinki, you'll often hear 'mennä junalla' instead of 'matkustaa junalla'. Use 'mennä' to sound more like a local.
