意味
To be failing financially.
文化的背景
Finns have a high 'debt-honesty'. Historically, being 'menossa konkurssiin' was a social death sentence. Today, it's more common in the startup world, but still carries a heavy stigma in rural areas. In contrast to Finland, 'going bankrupt' is often seen as a strategic business move (Chapter 11). Finns find the American ease with bankruptcy surprising. Finland and Sweden share very similar legal frameworks for bankruptcy. The term 'konkurssi' is a direct loan from Swedish 'konkurs'. In Japan, bankruptcy (hasan) is extremely shameful, even more so than in Finland. The phrase 'menossa konkurssiin' would be used with extreme caution there.
Use with 'vääjäämättä'
Pair this with 'vääjäämättä' (inevitably) to sound like a professional financial analyst.
Case sensitivity
Always remember the -iin ending. 'Mennä konkurssi' sounds very broken to a native ear.
