뜻
To accept duty for results.
문화적 배경
Finns value 'suoraselkäisyys' (straight-backedness). Taking responsibility immediately without excuses is the fastest way to earn respect. Finnish workplaces are flat. Even a junior employee is expected to 'ottaa vastuu' for their own tasks without constant supervision. There is a high level of trust in Finland because people generally take responsibility for following rules (like traffic lights or recycling). Self-assessment is a big part of Finnish schools. Students are taught to take responsibility for their own learning progress.
The 'N' Factor
Remember to add the 'n' to 'vastuu' (vastuun) when you are making a specific promise to do something.
Don't say 'tehdä'
Never say 'tehdä vastuu'. It's a common English-speaker mistake. Always use 'ottaa'.
