to depend on that

🌍

文化背景

Finns often use this phrase to avoid giving a direct 'yes' or 'no' when the weather is uncertain. It's a socially acceptable way to be non-committal. In flat hierarchies, 'Se on sinusta kiinni' is used by managers to empower employees, showing trust in their decision-making. Finnish sports media uses this phrase constantly to analyze 'pienet marginaalit' (small margins). The phrase aligns with 'sisu'—the idea that overcoming a challenge is 'kiinni tahdonvoimasta' (dependent on willpower).
