뜻
Something is a viable option.
문화적 배경
In Finnish work culture, 'ei tule kyseeseen' is a definitive 'no'. It's not usually a starting point for haggling, but a boundary based on facts or rules. Because the phrase is a calque from Swedish, Swedes and Finns share this logical structure, making it very easy for them to understand each other's reasoning in business. Germans use 'in Frage kommen' in almost exactly the same way, reflecting a shared Northern European linguistic logic regarding possibilities. English speakers often use 'out of the question' only for negative scenarios, whereas Finns use the positive 'tulla kyseeseen' just as frequently.
Use the Conditional
When asking for something, use 'Voisiko... tulla kyseeseen' to sound much more polite and professional.
Don't over-dramatize
Don't use this for tiny things like choosing a pen color, or you'll sound like a lawyer at a stationery store.
