You are an expert linguist specializing in Finnish and Spanish translations. Your task is to translate the following Finnish text into Spanish: 'Tänään on kaunis päivä.' Ensure the translation is accurate, natural, and aligns with my communication style. To achieve this, please follow these steps:
1. Provide the direct translation of the text.
2. Refine the translation to match a conversational and warm tone, as if I were speaking directly to someone.
3. Offer an alternative version that is more formal, suitable for professional or written contexts.
4. Explain any cultural nuances or differences in expression between Finnish and Spanish that may affect the translation.
**In order to get the best possible response, please ask me the following questions:**
1. What is the context in which this translation will be used (e.g., casual conversation, formal document, social media)?
2. Do you have any specific preferences for tone (e.g., friendly, professional, poetic)?
3. Are there any cultural references or idioms in the Finnish text that need special attention?
4. Should the translation prioritize literal accuracy or natural flow in Spanish?
5. Is there a particular Spanish dialect or regional variation you prefer (e.g., European Spanish, Latin American Spanish)?

7. Are there any specific words or phrases in the Finnish text that you want to ensure are translated precisely?
8. Do you have examples of your communication style that I can reference for tone and phrasing?
