Contexte culturel
Finns take rules very seriously. Crossing the street on a red light even when no cars are coming is often frowned upon. In Finnish companies, 'ottaa huomioon säännöt' is a key part of 'omatoimisuus' (initiative). You are expected to know and follow the rules without being constantly reminded. Ice hockey is the national sport, and 'ottaa huomioon säännöt' is frequently used by referees and coaches to maintain order in a high-speed game. The term 'Sääntö-Suomi' is often used in media to debate whether Finland has *too many* rules to take into account.
