Bedeutung
To have a good relationship with someone.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Estonians value 'omaette olemine' (being by oneself). Getting along often means respecting each other's privacy and silence. In Estonian offices, 'läbi saama' is more about efficiency and lack of drama than being social outside of work. Multi-generational homes were common in the past, so 'läbi saama' was a survival skill for living with in-laws. Young Estonians use 'läbi saama' to describe their relationship with their followers or even their 'aesthetic'.
Add 'hästi'
Always add 'hästi' (well) to sound more positive. Just saying 'Me saame läbi' can sometimes sound like 'We tolerate each other'.
The -ga ending
Don't forget the comitative case. Without it, the sentence is grammatically broken.
