Significado
Response to a thank you.
Contexto cultural
Finns value directness. 'Ole hyvä' is the perfect amount of politeness without being overly flowery. Similar to Swedish 'Varsågod', which also means 'be good' and serves the same function. The concept of a universal 'you're welcome' is common, but Finnish 'Ole hyvä' is uniquely neutral across all social classes. In a globalized world, 'Ole hyvä' is the first phrase many expats learn because it is used in every transaction.
The Plural Rule
