The New Year's Speech (Uudenvuodenpuhe) by the President is a major national event, watched by millions. It sets the tone for the coming year. Speeches are often the highlight of the 'hääjuhla'. It is common for the father of the bride, the groom, and the best man to 'pitää puhe'. In Finnish universities, a doctoral defense includes a formal speech called 'lectio praecursoria' where the candidate 'pitää puheen' to the audience. Finnish business culture values brevity. If you 'pidät puhetta' in a meeting, keep it 'lyhyt ja ytimekäs' (short and concise).
