뜻
Finishing the day's activities.
문화적 배경
Finns value punctuality and the end of the workday. Staying late is often seen as a lack of efficiency rather than hard work. The 'flat hierarchy' in Nordic countries means even a boss will say 'Päivä on ohi' and leave at the same time as the employees. During 'Kaamos' (polar night), the day is literally over after only a few hours of light, which makes this phrase feel more literal. The phrase often serves as a precursor to the evening sauna ritual, the ultimate Finnish way to end a day.
