Contexto cultural
The 'Terassikausi' (Terrace Season) is a cultural phenomenon where Finns sit outside at bars and cafes to enjoy the weather, even if they need to wear a winter coat and sit under a heater. The concept of 'Ruska' in Lapland attracts thousands of people who travel specifically to 'nauttia säästä' and the changing colors of the leaves in autumn. In Finnish schools, 'välitunti' (recess) is mandatory and usually outdoors, encouraging children to 'nauttia säästä' regardless of rain or snow. The first 'kevätpäivä' (spring day) when the snow starts to melt is a major social event where 'nauttia säästä' is the primary activity for the entire population.
The -sta Rule
Whenever you use 'nauttia', look at the next word and add -sta or -stä. It works for food (nauttia ruoasta) and music (nauttia musiikista) too!
