Cultural Insight |
Becky: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
Nico: Kiitos is one of the most important Finnish words to learn. You should say kiitos meaning "thank you" or kiitos paljon meaning "thank you very much", for example, when you receive change from a cashier at a store, or wherever you would like to thank someone. Kiitti is slang for kiitos, and it's used especially among friends and younger people. |
