Requesting goods or services.
Contexto cultural
Finns often use 'Wolt' or 'Foodora' for food delivery. In these apps, the phrase 'Tee tilaus' is the final step. It's a very modern, digital-first culture. In Finnish business, a 'tilaus' is often followed by a 'tilausvahvistus' (order confirmation). This is a crucial document for legal and accounting purposes. Magazine subscriptions are a huge part of Finnish culture. Many people 'tekevät tilauksen' for a year of 'Aku Ankka' (Donald Duck) for their children. When making an order in person, it's polite to start with 'Haluaisin...' (I would like...) rather than just 'Minä teen...' (I make...).
The 'n' rule
If you are finished, add an 'n': 'Tein tilaukseN'.
Not for people
Never use this to tell a person what to do. It's only for commerce!
