Informal word for home.
문화적 배경
In cities like Helsinki, Tampere, and Turku, 'hima' is almost more common than 'koti' among people under 40. On social media, #himassa is a popular hashtag for cozy 'hygge' style posts. Finnish rap lyrics almost exclusively use 'hima' to refer to the artist's neighborhood or apartment. Remote work is often called 'etähomma' or 'etäpäivä', but people will say they are 'himassa töissä'.
The 'S' Rule
If you want to sound really local in Helsinki, just say 'himas' instead of 'himassa'.
