Bedeutung

To begin to like an activity.

🌍

Kultureller Hintergrund

The phrase reflects the Russian proverb 'Аппетит приходит во время еды' (Appetite comes during the meal). It emphasizes that action precedes motivation. In the Soviet era, 'entering the taste' of work was a common theme in propaganda, encouraging workers to find joy in repetitive industrial tasks. Many Russians 'enter the taste' of gardening only in middle age, transitioning from hating the dacha as kids to loving it as adults. The phrase is now ubiquitous in Russian 'marathons' (online challenges) for fitness, finance, or self-help.

Yes, but it's usually figurative. If you say it while eating, it means you've started to really enjoy the meal and might eat more than planned.

It is neutral. You can use it in a business meeting to describe a project's momentum.

The most common opposite is 'потерять интерес' (to lose interest) or 'остыть' (to cool off).

No, that's incorrect. The phrase is fixed as 'во вкус'.
