معنی
Don't regret things that have already happened.
زمینه فرهنگی
Swedes value 'lagom' and emotional restraint. Crying over small things is seen as inefficient. Similar to Sweden, the 'Sisu' (resilience) culture encourages moving on from small failures without complaint. The phrase is identical, but often used with a more 'optimistic' spin (look on the bright side). The equivalent 'Fukusui bon ni kaerazu' is much more serious and often used for permanent social shame.
Use it for yourself
It's a great way to show you are humble and resilient when you make a mistake.
Don't be dismissive
If a friend is really upset, wait a moment before using this, or it might seem like you don't care.
