मतलब
Setting a time to meet.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Finns value 'asia' (the matter at hand). A meeting is agreed upon to discuss 'asia'. Once the 'asia' is handled, the meeting is over. There is little fluff. In Sweden, 'sopia tapaaminen' often involves 'fika'. The meeting is as much about the social consensus as the work. In American culture, meetings are often 'set' or 'scheduled' quickly. In Finland, the 'sopia' (agreement) part is more emphasized as a mutual contract. In Japan, the process of 'sopia tapaaminen' (nemawashi) often happens before the actual meeting to ensure everyone is already in agreement.
The 'Sopii' Shortcut
If someone suggests a time, you can just say 'Sopii!' (It fits/Agreed!) to be quick and natural.
Don't be late
Once you 'sovit tapaamisen', being even 5 minutes late without a text is considered quite rude in Finland.
