文化背景
Finns value 'arkirutiinit' (everyday routines) as a way to manage the long, dark winters. Taking a habit like 'morning coffee' or 'evening sauna' is culturally significant. In Finnish work culture, 'ottaa tavaksi' is often used during onboarding to explain unwritten rules, like the 'kahvitauko' (coffee break) culture. Public health campaigns in Finland often use 'Ota tavaksi' to encourage healthy behaviors, such as 'hyötyliikunta' (incidental exercise). Finnish schools encourage students to 'ottaa tavaksi' independent study habits from a young age, reflecting the value of autonomy.
Use with the 1st Infinitive

Don't forget the -ksi
If you say 'ottaa tapa', it sounds like you are physically picking up a habit like an object. The '-ksi' is essential to show the change into a habit.
