Signification
Receiving clarity on questions.
Contexte culturel
Finns value 'asia' (the matter). Getting answers is seen as a basic right in communication. If you don't get a direct answer, it is considered rude or suspicious. In Japan, 'getting answers' can be more indirect. Asking for answers too directly might be seen as aggressive. People often wait for the answer to be implied. In American business culture, 'getting answers' is often tied to 'getting results'. It is very proactive and often involves follow-up emails. Similar to Finland, Germans value precision. 'Saada vastauksia' in a German context implies getting technically correct and complete information.
