Kultureller Hintergrund
Lithuanians are often indirect when giving criticism. Using 'Turėk omenyje' is a way to point out a mistake or a potential problem without being confrontational. In Lithuanian business meetings, 'Turėkime omenyje' is used to bring up constraints like budget or deadlines in a collaborative way. In Lithuanian universities, professors use this phrase to emphasize the importance of context when studying history or literature. It is very common to hear this in public transport announcements or from service staff as a polite reminder.
