文化背景

Finns often avoid overly flowery language. 'Onnea matkaan' is considered a substantial and sincere wish. It is common to shake hands or give a brief hug when saying this during a formal departure. In some older traditions, wishing too much luck was seen as 'tempting fate.' However, 'Onnea matkaan' is now considered perfectly safe and is not associated with jinxing. In Finnish business culture, 'Onnea matkaan' is a standard way to end a project kickoff meeting, signaling that the planning is done and the 'journey' of execution begins. On Finnish LinkedIn, 'Onnea matkaan' is the most common comment on 'I'm starting a new position' posts.
