Have you ever been at a meeting when somebody is talking about something absolutely irrelevant, stealing everyone else's valuable time? If nobody else is saying anything, here are some things that you can say while remaining calm and polite:
- Anteeksi, mutta voidaanko mennä jo eteenpäin? - I'm sorry, but can we move forward already?
- Meillä on varmasti muutakin puhuttavaa. - I'm sure we have also other things to discuss.
- Anteeksi, mutta voitaisiinko pysyä aiheessa? - I'm sorry, but could we stick to the topic?
- Jatketaanko tästä aiheesta puhumista kokouksen jälkeen? - Shall we continue talking about this topic after the meeting?
p.s. You might also like my post about complaining politely, fighting in Finnish and confusingly similar words.
Tosi hyvä aihe :)
