| Cultural Insight |
| Becky: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
| Nico: If someone knocks on your door unexpectedly, you might ask kuka siellä?, meaning "who is it?," before opening the door. You can also use this when you hear someone else is in the same building, room or space with you, but you can't see who it is. |
