뜻
The price is fair and reasonable.
문화적 배경
Finns value 'hinta-laatusuhde' (price-quality ratio) above almost everything else. A 'cheap' price can be seen as a sign of poor quality, which is why 'kohdallaan' is a better compliment than 'halpa'. At a 'Kirpputori' (flea market), saying 'hinta on kohdallaan' to a seller is a polite way to end the transaction and show you are happy with the deal. In Finnish business culture, transparency is key. If a company advertises that their 'hinta on kohdallaan', they are making a promise of honesty and market-fairness. There is a popular TV show concept and general cultural trope about 'finding the right price'. It's almost a national hobby to compare prices to find the one that is 'kohdallaan'.
