Signification
To appear or be mentioned.
Contexte culturel
The phrase is used heavily in the context of 'avoimuus' (openness). In Finnish society, there is a high value on facts 'coming to light' in public discourse. The return of the sun after winter is a major cultural event. 'Aurinko tulee esiin' is a phrase filled with hope and seasonal significance. Finns often prefer to let things 'tulla esiin' naturally rather than interrupting. Silence is often the space where things emerge. Like 'coming out' in English, 'tulla esiin' is the standard, respectful way to describe revealing one's identity.
The 'Front' Rule
If you can imagine the thing moving to the 'front' of a stage, use 'esiin'.
Don't over-use 'ulos'
English speakers use 'out' for everything. In Finnish, 'out' is often 'esiin'.
