Significado
To be firm or steady.
Contexto cultural
The concept of 'vakaus' is linked to the Finnish ideal of a person who doesn't talk much but can be trusted. It is the opposite of 'hössöttäminen' (fussing around). In international Finnish companies like Nokia or Kone, 'vakaa kasvu' (stable growth) is often preferred over 'aggressive expansion' in corporate communications. The epithet 'vaka' for Väinämöinen suggests that stability is a semi-divine trait associated with the creation of the world.
