Significado
To begin to like an activity.
Contexto cultural
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.
