What are the common sense of Finnish etiquette?

Finns’ staple food is bread and potatoes, as well as fried noodles and rice. Non-staple food often includes beef, mutton and various seafood. They like to eat salads. Vegetarian salad is made by cutting several vegetables into shreds or slices and adding seasonings and stirred together; meat salad is made of shrimps and shredded vegetables mixed together. Finns don’t have the habit of eating and drinking heavily, so they prepare only a small amount of food and store the remaining food in the refrigerator for next time.

Manner and Etiquette Finns pay great attention to etiquette when interacting with foreigners. They are accustomed to keeping a distance of about 1.2 meters when talking. If the other party tries to get too close, it will be regarded as impolite. They will look with disdain on behaviors such as taking off shoes and picking teeth in public. They don't like to see other people linking their arms.

Meeting Etiquette When Finns meet guests in social situations, both men and women shake hands enthusiastically. When Finns meet foreign friends, especially those who come to their homes, they like to ask them to sign and leave a message to show how much they value their friendship. Finns prefer to be addressed by their title. If their title is not known, they are generally referred to as managers.

Business Etiquette In the past 10 years or so, the economic and trade relations between Finland and China have made great progress. Finns usually conduct business discussions in the office, and once they make a decision, a handshake is as effective as a written agreement. They pay attention to credibility and usually arrive on time for meetings agreed in advance. If you are invited to the home of a local business person, you can bring a bouquet to his wife, but it must be in an odd number.

Travel etiquette is contrary to business activities. The best season to travel to Finland is from June to September every year. During this season, you can see the rare wonders of the polar day in the world. Finland's open-air markets are a must-see for foreign tourists. What attracts them most are the stalls filled with various handicrafts. Finland pays great attention to solving the problem of difficulty for disabled people to go out. There are parking spaces specially set up for disabled people in public places, there are special elevators for disabled people at the entrance of the subway, and you don’t need to pay tips when taking a taxi in Finland.

Wedding and funeral etiquette Finnish modern weddings usually involve a simple religious ceremony presided over by a priest in a church, and then registered. Finns have two forms of burial and cremation after death, and cremation is now increasingly popular. Religious funerals are usually conducted by a priest in a church, while non-religious funerals are carried out according to the instructions of the deceased.

Clothing and Etiquette Finns often wear conservative suits at work. In formal social occasions, they pay more attention to clothing that matches their status. Men's clothing is usually straight and women's clothing is gorgeous. In daily life, Finns love sports. There are many styles of local sportswear, including jackets, bat shirts, handbags, ski shirts, fitness clothes and various jerseys.
