B1 Expression ニュートラル

ei ole mikään kiire

no rush at all

意味

There is plenty of time.

🌍

文化的背景

The concept of 'kiireettömyys' (hurry-less-ness) is a sought-after luxury in Finnish life, often associated with the sauna and summer cottages. Finns value 'laatu' (quality) over 'vauhti' (speed). Saying there is no hurry is often a sign of respect for the worker's craft. It is considered polite to use this phrase even if you have a slight hurry, just to make the other person feel comfortable. The Finnish relationship with nature dictates a slower pace. You cannot rush the changing of the seasons or the growth of a forest.

No, if you are telling them that a task you are doing for them doesn't need to be rushed, it's fine. But don't use it to tell *them* to slow down unless you have a close relationship.
