Bedeutung
To be lightheaded or irresponsible.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Lithuania, this is a very common way to describe teenagers. It is rarely used in a truly malicious way, but rather as a sigh of resignation. Latvians share a similar cultural history and use the same metaphor ('vējš galvā'), highlighting the shared Baltic perspective. Polish also uses the wind metaphor ('wiatr w głowie'), showing that this is a regional phenomenon across the Baltic and Central European area. Russian uses 'ветер в голове' (veter v golove), which is almost a direct translation and carries the same connotation of flightiness.
Use it with 'Jam'
Always remember to use the dative case 'Jam' (to him) or 'Jai' (to her) when talking about someone else.
Don't be rude
This is an informal phrase. Using it with a stranger or a boss will make you sound very rude.
