| Cultural Insight |
| Becky: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
| Nico: Back when everyone was still using landline phones, people would answer the phone by saying their name, or the family name: For example, Niemisillä meaning "at the Nieminen residence." Nowadays, the majority of households rely solely on mobile phones, and therefore people can usually see who’s calling on the phone screen. And so, names are no longer said out loud when answering the phone. Most often people will answer the phone by saying haloo meaning "hello"), or moi, hei or terve which all mean "hi". |
