I want to break contract of ist job but how i do this , is it illegal? i want guidance as soon as possible.

If you got a fixed contract, that has its own rules written in there. Theres in a permanent contract usually a "probation period" set in the contract; usually 3 months either party can "quit" without much adieu and no damages either way. So you better read what you signed...

It must be a fixed contract because the op mentions it's 4 months:

Unless the contract mentions otherwise, you are not allowed to break from a fixed contract. Doing so would entitle the employer to be compensated for any damage.

If your Finnish is poor important words are likely "koeaika" (probation period) and "määräaikainen" (fixed period) or toistaiseksi voimassa oleva (until further notice). If your employment has a stated end date then it is fixed period. Best for you would be to be still on a probation period.

With fixed period without (or expired) koeaika, the best option is to ask nicely and hope for the best...

Maybe they signed you up with the maximum probation period of 2months. Its highly likely.
