A1 Collocation 中性

olla mahdollinen

to be possible

意思

Something that can happen.

🌍

文化背景

Finns are known for their honesty. If they say something is 'mahdollista', they mean it literally. It's not a polite 'no' like in some other cultures. In Finnish business, 'mahdollinen' is used in risk assessment. It is part of a vocabulary that values realism over optimism. The hashtag #kaikkionmahdollista (everything is possible) is used for inspirational posts, often featuring nature or sports achievements. Finnish folklore often deals with the 'impossible' becoming 'possible' through magic or extreme effort (mahti).

💡

The 'A' Rule

When you say 'It is possible', always add the 'a' at the end: 'On mahdollista'. Without the 'a', it sounds incomplete.

⚠️

Don't be a robot

If someone asks for help, don't just say 'Se on mahdollista'. It sounds like you're checking your calendar. Say 'Tottakai!' (Of course!) instead.

Spoken Finnish

Drop the 'd' to sound more like a local: 'Onks se mahollista?'

💬

The Finnish Maybe

Remember that 'mahdollista' is often a very honest 'maybe'. Don't take it as a 'yes' until you hear 'sopii' (it suits) or 'kyllä' (yes).
