Finnish is a Uralic language spoken by over 5 million people, primarily in Finland, with minority speakers in Sweden, Norway, and Russia. Unlike most European languages, Finnish is not Indo-European but is closely related to Estonian and distantly to Hungarian. It has a complex grammar system with 15 grammatical cases and is known for its long compound words and vowel harmony, making it unique and challenging for non-native speakers.

Although English is widely spoken in Finland, many Finns prefer to communicate in their native language, especially in government, healthcare, and rural areas. Whether for business, legal matters, medical needs, or travel, Jeenie’s professional Finnish interpreters ensure precise and culturally sensitive communication, helping bridge language gaps with ease.

Finnish culture is shaped by nature, innovation, and deep-rooted traditions. Finns value privacy, honesty, and personal space, which is reflected in their communication style—conversations tend to be straightforward, with minimal small talk. The country is famous for its sauna culture, which is an essential part of social and professional life, as well as for its love of outdoor activities in all seasons.

Respect for traditions like Juhannus (Midsummer Festival), Vappu (May Day), and Independence Day plays an important role in Finnish identity. Understanding Finnish customs, direct communication style, and etiquette can help strengthen relationships in professional and social settings. With Jeenie’s expert Finnish interpreters, you get more than just translation—you get cultural expertise, ensuring smooth and meaningful interactions in any situation.

How much does Finnish interpreting cost?

Across the industry, Finnish interpreting is typically charged on a per minute rate. With Jeenie, our rates are some of the best in the industry. Your per minute rate will depend on which Jeenie plan you have. See our Pricing page for more details.

Note: Jeenie offers the same rate for Video and Audio-only. Why?
Because we know that video sessions get better outcomes. Video captures non-verbal cues (75% – 93% of most interactions) – making it more efficient and more effective in critical interactions.

Are Finnish translators and Finnish interpreters the same thing?

We get this question a lot.

Finnish interpreters help with spoken interactions. They are present in-the-moment to help people with different languages to communicate (Finnish into English and English into Finnish). Interpreters serve as communication and are experts at cultural nuance. They help to ensure that both parties understand each other.

Finnish translators help with written documents. Translators convert written text into the needed language.

How are Finnish interpreters on Jeenie different from other services?

Jeenie attracts the best interpreters in the world. Truly. We constantly hear from clients that they have NEVER had such amazing interpreters on other services. That skill saves our clients time and minimizes their risk of costly miscommunications. Here's how we excel at quality:

We treat interpreters well.
Jeenie offers linguists great compensation (often the best in the industry), work-life flexibility, ongoing learning to improve their craft, and our heart-felt respect. For this and many other reasons, the best interpreters want to be on the Jeenie platform.

We have extremely high standards.
Unlike most of our competitors who outsource huge chunks of their interpreting needs, Jeenie has created a vetted network of global talent who are active within our platform. This gives us direct oversight on quality and skills assessment. Jeenie interpreters must pass our rigorous skills evaluations, have several years of experience, maintain 4.0 average client rating, and pass ongoing quality tests.
