pitää puheen

to give a speech

To speak to an audience.

🌍

문화적 배경

Speeches at Finnish graduations (lakkiaiset) are often given by the 'primus' (top student) and are a source of great pride. The 'Uudenvuodenpuhe' (New Year's Speech) by the President is a national tradition watched by millions. In Finnish corporate culture, speeches are usually very short and factual. Long, emotional speeches are rare. Speeches at funerals are deeply respectful and often focus on the life story of the deceased.
