뜻
Heading out to jog.
문화적 배경
Jogging is often called 'lenkkeily'. It is common to go for a 'lenkki' in any weather. If you see someone in full gear, they are likely 'menossa lenkille'. There is a concept called 'friluftsliv' (open-air life). In Finland, this is 'ulkoilu'. Being 'menossa juoksemaan' is a respected part of this lifestyle. It is socially acceptable to leave work to go for a run if you have flexible hours. Telling a colleague you are 'menossa juoksemaan' is seen as a positive thing. The hashtag #lenkillä is huge. People often post a photo of their shoes before they leave, essentially saying 'olen menossa juoksemaan'.
The 'Excuse' Power
Use this phrase to end boring conversations. Finns respect a runner's schedule!
Don't forget the -maan
Without the -maan ending, the sentence falls apart. It's the glue of the phrase.

3 질문Yes! Just change the verb: 'olla menossa uimaan' (going swimming), 'olla menossa hiihtämään' (going skiing).
No, it's technically a noun (meno) in the inessive case, acting as an adverbial of state.
'Menossa' means you are on your way; 'lähdössä' means you are just about to leave the house.
