このコンテンツについて

When you first learn Finnish, pitää seems easy.

Minä pidän kahvista — I like coffee. Simple.


But then suddenly it means to have to, to hold, to keep, and even to give a speech.

Welcome to the wonderful chaos of one small Finnish word with many lives.


In this episode, me — a Finnish teacher living in Helsinki — walk you through the most common and useful meanings of pitää:

  • pitää + sta/stä — to like
  • pitää + verb — to have to, must
  • pitää ovi auki / pitää huolta itsestäsi — to hold, keep, or take care
  • pitää puhe, pitää kokous — to hold an event or a speech


…and all those beautiful idioms: pitää hauskaa, pitää yhteyttä, pitää paikkansa.


You’ll hear examples, gentle humor, and the deeper cultural logic hidden inside this everyday Finnish verb.


💚 This episode is supported by Havu Wellness — home of the Barrière vitamin patches.

They’re an easy, clean way to pitää huolta itsestään — to take care of yourself every day, without pills or extra routines.

Calm, clear, and full of meaning — that’s Finnish.

And that’s Nasta suomi.
