뜻
To be alerted to a potential problem.
문화적 배경
In Finnish workplace culture, a 'varoitus' is a serious legal prerequisite for firing. It is rarely given lightly. Finns value 'sisu' and fair play. Receiving a warning (keltainen kortti) is seen as a lapse in discipline. Public warnings for forest fires (metsäpalovaroitus) are common in summer and strictly followed. Finns are direct. If you 'saat varoituksen' from a friend, it is not a hint; it is a clear statement of fact.
The 'Mistä' Rule
Always use the elative case (-sta/-stä) for the reason. 'Sain varoituksen *melusta*' (I got a warning for the noise).
Legal Weight
In Finland, a 'varoitus' is a serious legal step. Don't use it as a joke with your boss!
