Mereu vesel si pus pe sotii, Juha este un personaj care nu se remarca nici prin frumusete, nici prin bogatie, nici prin multa stiinta de carte. Cand invatator, cand negustor, cand scrib intr-un sat sau in mahalaua unui mare oras, face fata oricarei situatii prin umor, prin indrazneala cu care nesocoteste conventiile sociale si prin felul aparent candid de a privi defectele oamenilor. Asemenea lui Nastratin Hogea din snoavele turcesti, al carui omolog este, Juha se amesteca permanent in treburi care nu-l privesc, da tuturor sfaturi si, mai ales, se distreaza fara rautate pe seama celor din jur.
