المعنى
To adore or cherish someone
خلفية ثقافية
In Ukrainian weddings, the groom carrying the bride is a common sight and symbol of this idiom in action. There is a strong tradition of 'knightly' behavior where men are expected to be the primary 'carriers' or providers of care. On Ukrainian Instagram, #ношунаруках is a popular tag for romantic posts. Cossack leaders were often physically elevated to show they were chosen by the people.
Use with 'просто'
Adding 'просто' (simply/just) before the idiom makes it sound more natural and emphatic: 'Він її просто на руках носить.'
Literal vs Figurative
If someone is actually carrying a heavy person, don't use this idiom unless you are making a joke about how much they love them.
