뜻
To manage life independently.
문화적 배경
Independence is highly valued. Young people often move out at 18-19, and the state provides 'opintotuki' (student grant) to help them 'tulla toimeen omillaan'. In contrast to Finland, it is more common to live with parents longer. 'Tulla toimeen omillaan' might happen much later, often only after marriage. Managers expect employees to 'tulla toimeen omillaan' (work independently). Micromanagement is generally disliked. Historically, 'omavaraisuus' (self-sufficiency) was a survival necessity. This phrase carries that legacy of pride in not needing the village's help.
