Wishing someone success in a start.
خلفية ثقافية
The barn swallow (suitsupääsuke) is the national bird of Estonia. The image of this bird catching the wind is a powerful symbol of national identity and freedom, which is why 'Tuult tiibadesse' feels so 'Estonian.' Estonia has over 2000 islands. The maritime culture means that metaphors involving wind and sailing are deeply embedded in the language, even for people who have never been on a boat. In Estonian schools, the 'last bell' (viimane koolikell) and graduation are sacred rituals. 'Tuult tiibadesse' is the unofficial slogan of these events, appearing on banners and in every speech. Estonia is known as 'e-Estonia.' Even in the high-tech startup world of Skype and Bolt, this archaic nature metaphor is used to wish success to new 'unicorns.'

Don't use for small things
