Finnish People

One of the most important questions before coming to Finland is for me,
How are the people living in the country?💬👯

 As soon as I came to Finland to the answer to this question, I actually found an answer. As a foreigner, there are a lot of questions in the mind of a person. The people of Finland are very helpful people.
My student guide greeted me first, and thanks to his help, I felt better over time.
There is a book that the great leader Mustafa Kemal Atatürk wanted to add to the Turkish people in the school curriculum. His name is 'In the Land of White Lilies'.
This book highlights how Finland gained autonomy and the characteristics of the Finnish people.
In his book "In the Land of White Lilies", which Grigoriy Petrov mentioned about Finland, he described the Finnish people as quiet and calm people. Indeed, I have experienced this. The city is quiet and calm.
People are respectful and tolerant to each other.
People are hardworking and selfless.

While Finland is known today as a country of tolerant people; Being equal, respectful and leveled are among the most important rules.
Very humble people.At the same time, quite minutes.If there is a meeting, they are exactly there at the time of the meeting.It is important even for 1 minute.

Equality and justice are important values ​​for Finns. In Finnish society, everyone is equal and everyone must be treated fairly.
According to Finnish law, women and men are equal. Although women have children in Finland, their work is normal. It is responsible for both women and men and home.

Finns often rely on people and officials. Democracy and freedom of expression are also valued in Finland. Every person has the right to participate in community activities. There is also freedom of expression in Finland.

In Finnish culture, individualism is more important than many other cultures. Individual freedom is strongly visible in Finnish law.

Finns care about their private life and freedom. For example, young adults are encouraged to become independent and move to their own home.
Honesty is valued in Finland. It is important to keep your word and say it right

In formal situations, the general form of greeting is a handshake. Men and women also shake hands. Close friends or relatives can also greet by embracing. Kissing on the cheek is not very common.

Talking to a person, look into his/her eyes. In Finland, looking at the eye means that you are open and honest with other people.It is not welcome to split someone's words while in a group environment, so the speaker is expected to finish her/his word.
It is natural to speak with you when you speak Finnish. Foreign people and colleagues are also talking to you. Talking to you applies to very formal situations. It is convenient to talk to old people.

Endless thanks to a thoughtful and very kind person ...💓
