About

Torilla tavataan! (and its various versions, such as Tortillat avataan) is a sentence used to celebrate when anything remotely related to Finland can be seen in the original post. For example, if a youtuber mentions he's been to Finland, there are bound to be tons of comments celebrating the fact using the sentence "Torilla tavataan!".

Torilla tavataan! roughly translates to "Let's meet at the marketplace!" and originates from the Finnish tradition of flocking to marketplaces to celebrate when something important, such as winning the ice hockey world championship, happens.

Spread

Torilla tavataan! is often followed by a bunch of Finnish comments each stating what they will bring to the marketplace, for example Finnish politicians such as Timo Soini, or kalja (beer).

Most often appearing on 9Gag, the less the original post has to do with Finland, the more likely the most upvoted comment is "Torilla tavataan!". For example, if the Finnish flag can just barely be seen in the post, the comment section will be full of Finns, but if the post is directly about Finland, English comments will probably appear first.
