뜻
To be revealed or discovered by the public.
문화적 배경
Transparency (avoimuus) is a national pride. The 'Publicity Act' ensures that most government documents are available to anyone, literally bringing administration into the 'päivänvalo'. The contrast between the dark winter (kaamos) and the midnight sun makes light metaphors very powerful. Light is synonymous with life, safety, and truth. Finnish journalists often see themselves as 'valon tuojia' (bringers of light), and 'päivänvalo' is a standard term in investigative awards. The Finnish legal system emphasizes oral and public hearings, ensuring that evidence 'tulee päivänvaloon' in front of the public.
Use with 'Vasta'
This idiom pairs perfectly with 'vasta' (only/not until). E.g., 'Se tuli päivänvaloon vasta nyt' (It only came to light now).
Don't over-dramatize
If you found your lost sock, don't use this. It's for 'big' truths.

자주 묻는 질문
10 질문Technically yes, but it usually implies that the thing was hidden or unknown. For a surprise party, 'paljastua' is better.
'Tulla ilmi' is a more general synonym. 'Tulla päivänvaloon' is more idiomatic and slightly more dramatic.
The idiom is fixed. You don't use possessive suffixes like 'my light' unless you are being very poetic.
Yes, but mostly in serious or semi-formal discussions. In very casual talk, people might just say 'se tuli julki'.
No, that would be understood literally (physically walking into the sun). The idiom requires 'päivänvalo'.
There isn't one single idiom, but 'lakaista maton alle' (to sweep under the rug) is a common way to describe hiding something.
Not always, but about 80% of the time it does. It can also be used for scientific or historical discoveries.
Yes! 'Tuoda päivänvaloon' means 'to bring to light' (active), while 'tulla päivänvaloon' means 'to come to light' (passive).
It is written as one word: 'päivänvaloon'.
