뜻
Becoming ill physically.
문화적 배경
Finns are very direct about health. If you say you 'tuli kipeäksi', people will generally believe you and not expect you to work. It is considered responsible to stay home so you don't infect others. Many Finnish workplaces allow 3 days of sick leave just by notifying your boss that you 'tuli kipeäksi', without a doctor's note. There is an old saying: 'Jos ei viina, terva ja sauna auta, niin tauti on kuolemaksi' (If booze, tar, and sauna don't help, the disease is fatal). However, modern Finns know not to go to sauna with a fever. While 'sisu' means perseverance, it doesn't mean ignoring illness. Finns view taking care of oneself as a practical necessity to maintain long-term 'sisu'.
The -ksi rule
Whenever you use 'tulla' to mean 'become', the next word needs '-ksi'.
Avoid 'saada'
Don't say 'Sain kipeäksi'. It's a common English-speaker mistake.
