معنی
to support someone to regain health.
زمینه فرهنگی
The '90s generation often uses this phrase to describe the struggle of parents who raised children during economic collapse. It carries a sense of 'heroic survival.' In many post-Soviet countries, 'putting someone on their feet' implies a social network of favors and 'blat' (connections), not just hard work. Russian doctors often use this phrase to give hope to families. It is seen as more positive and 'active' than the clinical 'вылечить'. In 19th-century Russian literature, this phrase often appears in the context of 'dowries' and 'inheritance,' where a father must put his daughters on their feet through marriage.
Use it for 'Turnarounds'

Check the Case
Always use 'на ноги' (Accusative). If you say 'на ногах,' it means the person is already standing, and the verb 'поставить' won't make sense.
