Referring back to something already said.
문화적 배경
Finns value 'asia' (the matter/fact) over ego. 'Kuten sanottua' is preferred over 'kuten sanoin' because it focuses on the information rather than the person who said it. In Finnish meetings, efficiency is key. Using this phrase signals that you are not introducing new information, but summarizing, which helps keep the meeting on track. Finnish academic writing is very precise. 'Kuten sanottua' is used to build a logical chain of evidence throughout a thesis. On Finnish Twitter or Jodel, 'kuten sanottua' is often used to shut down an argument by pointing out that the point has already been made.
Use it as a 'Bridge'
Use this phrase when you feel you are repeating yourself. It makes the repetition sound intentional and professional.
Don't overdo it
Using it in every sentence makes you sound like a broken record. Use it once or twice per conversation.
