B1 Collocation ニュートラル

saada palkka

to get paid

意味

Receiving money for work.

🌍

文化的背景

Payday is often the 15th or the last day of the month. It's a common topic of small talk, but asking for the exact amount is considered prying. There is a high level of trust in the palkanmaksu (payroll) systems; errors are rare and taken very seriously by unions. In international companies in Helsinki, the phrase is often used alongside English terms like 'payroll' or 'bonus'. Historically, 'palkka' could include 'luontoisetuja' like firewood or housing, a tradition that still influences tax laws today.

💡

⚠️

Palkka vs Palkinto
