خلفية ثقافية
Poles often use this idiom to express a deep sense of 'belonging' to a place, reflecting the historical importance of land and home. The Japanese version 'Mizu o eta sakana' emphasizes the vitality that comes from being in the right place, often used for someone who was previously bored or underutilized. The idiom 'Ru yu de shui' is famously associated with the Three Kingdoms period, describing the relationship between a leader and his brilliant advisor. While 'fish in water' is understood, English speakers often prefer 'like a duck to water' to describe learning a skill quickly and naturally.
