Vetää vesiperä

To fail

معنی

A plan that does not succeed.

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

Fishing is a national pastime. The idiom reflects the deep connection to the 'nuotta' fishing tradition in Finnish lakes. Finns value trying hard. Using this idiom acknowledges that you did the work (pulled the net) even if you failed. The idiom is often used with self-deprecating humor to lighten the mood after a disappointment. It shows a stoic acceptance that nature (and life) doesn't always provide what we want.

No, it refers to the 'back end' (perä) of a fishing net filled only with water (vesi).

It's a bit informal. Use 'tavoitteita ei saavutettu' for a more professional tone.

Because the failure is a 'total' result, we use the accusative case (n-ending or nominative-lookalike).
