معنی
To become sad or discouraged.
زمینه فرهنگی
In Ukrainian folklore, the nose is often seen as the seat of one's pride. To 'hang' it is to temporarily lose that pride or strength. On Ukrainian social media, you'll often see the 👃 and 📉 emojis used together to ironically describe a minor 'fail'. The variation 'повісити носа на квінту' refers to the violin's highest string, showing how deeply music is integrated into Ukrainian idioms. In village life, a person 'hanging their nose' was a sign for the community to step in and offer a 'чарка' (a small drink) or a song to cheer them up.
