Tukkuilta

Tukkuilta is a Finnish term that translates literally to "wholesale evening." It refers to an informal, often spontaneous gathering or party that occurs among people who work in wholesale businesses or related industries. These events are typically social occasions where colleagues or business partners can relax and network outside of the usual work environment.

The nature of a tukkuilta can vary widely. Some might be small gatherings at a pub after work, while others could be larger parties hosted at someone's home or a rented venue. The focus is usually on socializing, enjoying food and drinks, and strengthening professional relationships. It's a way for individuals in the wholesale sector to connect with each other on a more personal level, which can foster goodwill and potentially lead to future business opportunities.

While the term originates from the wholesale industry, the concept of informal after-work or industry-specific social gatherings is common across many professions. The "tukkuilta" specifically highlights the camaraderie and social aspect that can develop within the wholesale business community in Finland. These events are not usually formal business meetings but rather opportunities for relaxation and informal interaction.
