뜻
The routine of working.
문화적 배경
Finns value work-life balance. 'Käydä töissä' implies a clear start and end to the day. Overtime is not as culturally expected as in some other countries. The 'kahvitauko' (coffee break) is a legal right in Finnish work culture. When you 'käydä töissä', you are guaranteed these social moments. Modesty is key. Even if you have a high-status job, you simply say you 'käydä töissä' rather than boasting about your title. Summer holidays (kesäloma) are sacred. People who 'käyvät töissä' usually take 4 weeks off in July.
The 'Visit' Logic
Remember that in Finnish, you 'visit in' a place. This will help you remember the -ssä ending.
Plural is Key
Even if you only have one job, use the plural 'töissä'. Using the singular sounds like you are working on one specific task.
