olla matkalla

to be on the way

意思

Currently traveling to a specific destination.

🌍

文化背景

Finns value literal truth in communication. Saying 'Olen matkalla' when you are still putting on your shoes is considered rude and misleading. In Sami culture, the concept of 'matka' is tied to the movement of reindeer and seasonal migration, often involving much longer timeframes. Being 'matkalla' is a valid reason for not answering emails immediately, often signaled by an 'Out of Office' reply saying 'Olen työmatkalla' (I am on a business trip). In cities like Helsinki, 'matkalla' is often used in the context of public transport apps (HSL), where it describes the real-time status of buses and trams.
