معنی
Used to describe two identical things.
زمینه فرهنگی
Estonians often use this phrase to compliment parents on their children. It is seen as a positive observation of family continuity. While Finns understand the water idiom, they often prefer 'kuin kaksi marjaa' (like two berries). The Russian equivalent 'как две капли воды' is identical and very common in Estonia due to historical linguistic contact. The idiom is used in the Estonian version of 'Your Face Sounds Familiar' (Su nägu kõlab tuttavalt) to judge celebrity transformations.
