Expressing gratitude.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
In Finland, eye contact is important when saying 'Kiitos paljon'. It shows sincerity. Even though Finns are known for being reserved, a direct look while thanking someone is a sign of respect. Tipping is not mandatory or even expected in Finland. Therefore, saying 'Kiitos paljon' with a warm tone is often the primary way to show you appreciated the service. The 'Kiitos-Ole hyvä' cycle is very strong. If you don't say 'Kiitos paljon' when someone helps you, it can be seen as quite rude, even if the help was small. Finns often use 'Kiitos paljon' at the end of phone calls or meetings as a way to signal that the interaction is over and was successful.
Add a smile
Finns might be quiet, but a smile while saying 'Kiitos paljon' goes a long way in making the interaction warm.
Don't over-intensify
Avoid saying 'Kiitos erittäin paljon' unless it's a truly life-changing favor; it sounds a bit too dramatic for daily life.

The 'Samoin' Trick
If someone says 'Kiitos paljon' to you after you've both helped each other, you can just say 'Kiitos samoin' (Thanks, likewise).
Silence is okay
After you say 'Kiitos paljon', the other person might just nod or say a very quiet 'mm-m'. This isn't rudeness; it's just the Finnish way of accepting thanks.
