Finland Flag – https://www.finlandflag.fi

The Finnish flag—a white field bearing a blue Nordic cross—was officially adopted in 1918 and represents the “blue of our lakes and the white snow of our winters.” This simple yet powerful symbol mirrors many qualities of Finnish culture, including the way people greet one another. Finnish greetings tend to be warm but modest, often plain and sincere. A common “hello” is Hei or Moi for informal settings, while “Hyvää huomenta” (good morning), “Hyvää päivää” (good day), and “Hyvää iltaa” (good evening) are used in more polite or formal contexts.
