뜻
Heading to an appointment.
문화적 배경
Punctuality is a core value. Being 'menossa' at the exact time the meeting starts is technically late; you should be 'perillä' (arrived) by then. Similar to Finland, but Swedes might use 'fika' for a casual 'tapaaminen'. The phrase 'på väg' is the direct equivalent. In the US, 'heading to a meeting' is often used as a way to end a conversation, sometimes even if the meeting isn't for another 15 minutes. In Japan, arriving 5-10 minutes early is the norm. Saying you are 'heading' to a meeting at the start time would be seen as a serious error.
Spoken Finnish
Always use 'Oon' instead of 'Olen' in casual conversation to sound more like a native.
Case Sensitivity
Don't forget the '-n' at the end of 'tapaamiseen'. Without it, the sentence is grammatically broken.
