Agree with Mike, it's good to make a special Paragraph style called "Finnish text" or something like that, and add the langauge attribute (Paragraph Styles > Advanced Character Formats > Language). If you want to just apply it to the text directly, then yes, open Type > Character panel and choose language from the pop-up menu at bottom of the panel.

    Apply a paragraph style (not Basic Paragraph Style; not Normal paragraph style) that you make in the paragraph styles panel. Within the paragraph styles panel options choose a language. Therefore, the text will hyphenate according to that language. And the Spell Check will check spelling according to that language too.

      The language is set as a Character attribute - words will hyphenate based on the language applied to that word.
