While talking is allowed, being 'hiljaa' and enjoying the steam is highly valued. Classrooms in Finland are traditionally quite quiet compared to many other countries. 'Olkaa hiljaa' is a common teacher command to start a lesson. Finns generally prefer to 'olla hiljaa' on buses and trains. Loud phone conversations are often frowned upon.
Don't fear the silence
In Finland, being 'hiljaa' in a conversation is not a sign of boredom. It means people are thinking.
Tone matters
Saying 'Ole hiljaa!' with a sharp tone is a command to shut up. Use a soft tone for 'Be quiet, please'.
