tehdä päätöksiä

to make decisions

意味

To choose between options.

🌍

文化的背景

Finns value 'jämäkkyys' (decisiveness). A person who can make decisions and stick to them is highly respected in both social and work life. Despite the value of individual decisiveness, consensus is key. Decisions are often made after everyone has had a chance to speak. The term 'päätöksentekokyky' is a common buzzword in Finnish politics, often used to criticize a government that seems stuck. Finns are generally modest, but being 'päättäväinen' (determined/decisive) is a trait that is quietly admired.

💡

Use Partitive for Process

Use 'päätöksiä' (plural partitive) when talking about the general skill or multiple decisions.

⚠️

Avoid 'Ottaa'

Never say 'ottaa päätös'. It's a classic sign of a non-native speaker translating from English.

Consensus Matters

In Finland, saying 'Me teimme päätöksen' (We made a decision) often sounds better than 'Minä tein päätöksen' in a team setting.
