意思
To not share secret information.
文化背景
In Finland, silence is not awkward; it's often a sign of comfort. Keeping things 'omana tietonaan' is seen as a virtue of a reliable person. In some Northern communities, traditional knowledge about reindeer or nature is often kept 'omana tietonaan' within a family to protect resources. Finnish companies value flat hierarchies but strict confidentiality. 'Pitää omana tietonaan' is a common phrase in internal memos. There is a growing trend in Finland called 'oversharing' (ylijakaminen), which is the opposite of this phrase. Many older Finns find it strange.
The 'Navel' Variation
If you want to sound like a native speaker who is slightly annoyed, use 'pitää omana napanaan' (keep as one's own navel) to describe someone being stingy with info.
Suffixes Matter
In a formal email, forgetting the possessive suffix (-an, -ni, etc.) will make you look like a beginner. Always double-check them!

常见问题
3 个问题Yes, it's perfect! 'Pidetään juhlat omana tietonamme' means 'Let's keep the party a secret between us.'
Not usually. It depends on your tone. If said calmly, it's a standard request for privacy. If snapped, it can mean 'Mind your own business.'
'Salaisuus' is the noun (a secret). 'Pitää omana tietonaan' is the action (to keep as one's own knowledge). You keep a 'salaisuus' 'omana tietonasi'.
