Overview
Finland, known for its beautiful landscapes, tranquil living and incredible northern lights, offers a unique culture that's worth exploring. Finnish culture is characterized by a distinct blend of eastern and western influences, which are expressed in their daily life, traditions, language, and history.
The Finnish people are known for their 'Sisu', which translates to determination, perseverance, and courage, a quality that can be traced back to their longstanding history of surviving harsh weather conditions and periods of political turmoil. Finnish people value privacy and personal space and are generally more reserved, known for their quiet demeanor and strong respect for others.
'Everyman's Right' or 'Jokamiehenoikeudet', a concept in Finnish culture, emphasizes the freedom to roam and enjoy nature's bounty freely and this is reflected in their deep-rooted love for nature.
Finland is the home to the unusual and much-cherished sauna culture, where it is seen not just as a place for relaxation, but also a place for social interaction and even conducting business meetings.
Their language, Finnish, is another distinctive cultural aspect. It belongs to the Finno-Ugric family, unrelated to the Scandinavian languages, and is known for its complex grammar.
Lastly, the Finnish education system is often lauded and emulated worldwide for its equal opportunities and high standards.
In essence, Finnish culture is about balance: they equally appreciate the stillness of nature and innovation, valuing both personal space and community.
