A2 Expression 中性

sanoa kyllä

to say yes

意思

To agree or accept.

🌍

文化背景

Finns value 'rehellisyys' (honesty). Saying yes is a promise. If you say yes to a coffee invitation, you are expected to actually show up. In Finnish meetings, 'sanoa kyllä' is often the end of a long period of silence and consideration. It is not usually done impulsively. The hashtag #sanoakyllä is popular among Finnish influencers to promote positivity and new experiences. While 'Tahdon' is the official vow, the phrase 'sanoa kyllä' is used in all the media and stories leading up to the big day.

💡

The -lle Rule

Always remember to add -lle to the thing you are saying yes to. It's the most common mistake for learners!

⚠️

Don't over-joo

While 'joo' is common, using 'kyllä' makes you sound more confident and professional in Finnish.
