معنی
To end a contract or relationship.
زمینه فرهنگی
In Finnish work culture, 'sanoa irti' is a serious legal step. There is a strong emphasis on 'irtisanomissuoja' (protection against dismissal), meaning an employer cannot just say someone irti without a valid reason. The concept of 'irtisanomisaika' (notice period) is very standard. Usually, it is 1-3 months. Saying something irti doesn't mean it ends today, but that the clock starts ticking. Finns value 'clean breaks'. Using 'sanoa irti' in a relationship context, while harsh, is often respected for its clarity compared to 'ghosting'. The single word 'irtisanoa' is used in all official Finnish laws (Työsopimuslaki). 'Sanoa irti' is the everyday spoken equivalent.
The 'Itsensä' Rule
Always remember 'itsensä' when quitting. If you forget it, people will think you are firing your boss!
Written Notice
In Finland, even if you 'sanot irti' verbally, you almost always need to do it in writing (kirjallisesti) for it to be legally binding.
