to get thirsty

Significado

The feeling of needing a drink.

🌍

Contexto cultural

Sauna thirst is a specific cultural phenomenon. It is socially acceptable and even expected to drink something refreshing (often mildly alcoholic or sparkling water) during and after sauna. Tap water is highly valued. If you say 'minulle tuli jano' in a Finnish home, the host will almost always offer you a glass of cold tap water immediately. Outdoor activities in winter can be deceptive. Even if it's cold, 'tulee jano' because the air is very dry. Finns always carry thermoses. In fitness culture, 'tulla jano' is seen as a positive sign of a good workout and proper metabolism.
