뜻
Hard to accomplish.
문화적 배경
Finns value 'sisu', which means continuing even when things are 'vaikea'. Admitting difficulty is not seen as a failure. In schools, students are encouraged to identify 'vaikeita asioita' (difficult things) to focus their studies. It's a pragmatic approach. In Finnish offices, 'vaikea' is often replaced by 'haastava' (challenging) to sound more professional and proactive. Calling someone 'vaikea ihminen' is a significant criticism in Finland, implying they are blocking progress or harmony.
The Partitive Rule
If you start a sentence with 'On...' (It is...), always use 'vaikeaa'.
Don't call people 'kova'
Calling someone 'kova' means they are tough or cool, while 'vaikea' means they are annoying/stubborn.
