मतलब
To fall deeply in love.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
The idiom is often used in Russian 'shanson' and pop music to express dramatic, total devotion. The phrase is identical in Ukrainian (закохатися по вуха), showing the shared East Slavic metaphorical roots. In Soviet cinema, this phrase was often used to describe the 'wholesome' but overwhelming love of young workers or students. On Russian social media (VK, Telegram), the phrase is often paired with the 'heart eyes' emoji or used to describe 'stanning' a celebrity.
The 'Submersion' Rule
Think of 'по уши' as a water level. If you are 'по уши' in something, you are almost drowning in it—whether it's love, work, or debt.
Don't use with 'like'
You can't say 'мне нравится по уши'. It only works with the strong verb 'влюбиться' or the state 'влюблён'.

4 सवालNo, it's not rude, but it is very informal. It's perfectly fine for friends, but don't use it in a formal speech or a business meeting.
Usually, no. It's specifically for romantic love. For a pet, you'd just say 'я очень люблю свою собаку'.
'Влюбиться' is just 'to fall in love'. 'По уши' adds intensity, like 'to fall head over heels'.
No, that's not a standard idiom. Stick to 'уши'.
