意思
To face an obstacle.
文化背景
Finns value 'vaatimattomuus' (modesty). When someone talks about their 'vastoinkäymiset', they are often showing strength without bragging. In Finnish companies, 'vastoinkäyminen' is often used in 'post-mortem' meetings to objectively discuss what went wrong without pointing fingers. The 'vastoinkäyminen' is a central theme in the 'national romantic' era, where the Finnish people are seen as struggling against nature and oppression. Finnish sports fans use this phrase to describe 'the curse' of Finnish sports (near misses and bad luck).
Use Plural for Life
If you are talking about general life struggles, always use the plural partitive: 'vastoinkäymisiä'.
Don't Overuse
It's a powerful phrase. If you use it for everything, you'll sound like a drama queen.

The Sisu Connection
Pair this with words like 'selvitä' (survive) or 'voittaa' (win) to show a positive attitude.
Verb Gradation
Remember: kokea -> koen. The 'k' disappears in many forms!
