Expressing Consequence with "joten"
To express that one event is the direct result of another, use the conjunction joten (so / therefore).
It connects two clauses, with the cause coming first. Remember to place a comma before joten when it separates two conjugated clauses.
| I do remote work, so I need a good network. | Teen etätyötä, joten tarvitsen hyvän verkon. |
| The internet disconnected, so I have to use the phone. | Netti katkesi, joten minun täytyy käyttää puhelinta. |
Dealing with Tech Troubles
Remote work often comes with logistical hiccups, making joten the perfect tool for explaining quick fixes during a meeting.
| The connection is starting to lag, so I will close the camera. | Yhteys alkaa pätkiä, joten suljen kameran. |
| There is a lot of background noise here, so I will mute the microphone. | Täällä on paljon taustamelua, joten mykistän mikrofonin. |
Restarting and Fixing
If things go completely wrong—for instance, if a router freezes—you might need to restart it.
To say "restart" in Finnish, use the verb käynnistää (to start / boot up) paired with the adverb uudelleen (again / anew). Because uudelleen is an independent word rather than a prefix, it often sits at the end of the clause or after the object being restarted.
| The picture froze, so I am restarting the laptop. | Kuva jäätyi, joten käynnistän läppärin uudelleen. |
| The router freezes once a week, so I always restart it. | Reititin jumiutuu kerran viikossa, joten käynnistän sen aina uudelleen. |
