ottaa riskejä

to take risks

To gamble or dare.

🌍

문화적 배경

Finns value 'hallittu riski' (calculated risk). Being 'uhkarohkea' (reckless) is generally looked down upon, but being brave in a quiet, determined way is respected. In the Finnish startup scene, taking risks is seen as a badge of honor, contrasting with the more traditional, risk-averse corporate culture of the 20th century. Taking a social risk (like talking to a stranger) is often harder for Finns than taking a professional one due to the cultural value of 'oma rauha' (personal peace). In ice hockey, 'riskin ottaminen' often refers to pulling the goalie at the end of the game—a classic Finnish sports drama moment.

자주 묻는 질문

Both are correct. 'Ottaa riski' is for one specific risk, 'ottaa riskejä' is for the general habit of taking risks.

Yes, it's very common. Just make sure to say you take 'hallittuja riskejä' (calculated risks).

The opposite is 'pelata varman päälle' (to play it safe) or 'välttää riskejä' (to avoid risks).

Not necessarily. It depends on the context. In business, it's often positive; in traffic, it's negative.

You can say 'riskinottaja'.

No, it's a loanword from Swedish/European languages.

It's grammatically possible but sounds like you are taking 'some' risk in an abstract sense. Stick to 'riskejä'.

It is neutral. You can use it with your boss or your friends.

Use 'välttää'. Esimerkiksi: 'Vältän riskejä'.

Yes, but 'pelata' (to play) is more specific for gambling.
