Things to Watch Out For As well as the good things in Finland, there are also some things to watch out for. PEOPLE LANGUAGE NGAUE EXPENSE Some Finnish people can be rather taciturn. When you say “Hi!”, some don’t say “Hei!” (“Hi!”). Young people are more likely to reply than the older people. Some Finnish people may not be so kind to you. It is advised that you try to be in your house before nightfall because a lot of people can get drunk and cause harm. The Finnish language has fairly long words to pronounce. But you still need to know the basic words to manage around Finland. In Finland things can be very expensive and it is very challenging to find cheap things. However, there are some places where you can buy things cheaply.
