意味
To discover what actually happened.
文化的背景
Finns value 'suoruus' (directness). Uncovering the truth is seen as a way to maintain social trust. The 'Law of Jante' often discourages boasting, so 'finding out the truth' about someone's success might be done quietly. Finnish investigative journalism is highly respected and focuses on 'saada selville totuus' regarding public funds. The Finnish legal system is based on finding the objective truth rather than just winning an argument.
The 'Result' Verb
Remember that 'saada' always implies you successfully reached a goal. It's a very satisfying verb to use!
Object Case
Don't forget to change 'totuus' to 'totuutta' if you are saying you *didn't* find it out.
