Roberneuvontaa

roberneuvontaa is a Finnish term that translates to "rubber advice" or "rubber consultation." It is a colloquial expression used to describe advice or consultation that is perceived as being of little practical value, often being vague, unhelpful, or generic. The term suggests that the advice offered is as insubstantial or as flexible as rubber, meaning it can be molded into many shapes but ultimately lacks firm footing or concrete solutions.

The phrase is typically used in informal settings and often carries a slightly sarcastic or critical tone. It implies that someone has sought guidance or assistance, only to receive suggestions that are either too obvious, too theoretical, or simply not applicable to their specific situation. The "rubber" aspect highlights the lack of tangible support or actionable steps provided.

roberneuvontaa can be given by anyone, from friends and family to colleagues or even perceived experts. The key characteristic is the perceived low quality or ineffectiveness of the advice, rather than the source itself. It's a way of expressing disappointment or frustration when seeking help and not receiving what was expected or needed. The term is not associated with any formal professional service but rather with everyday social interactions where advice is exchanged.
