意味
Doing something to avoid a potential problem.
文化的背景
Estonians are known for being very pragmatic. 'Igaks juhuks' is almost a national motto, reflecting a desire to be prepared for the worst while hoping for the best. The Finnish equivalent 'varmuuden vuoksi' is used similarly, reflecting a shared Nordic/Baltic value of preparedness and caution. In Russia, the phrase 'na vsyakiy sluchay' is used identically. Due to historical proximity, the usage patterns in Estonian and Russian are very similar. In the IT-heavy culture of Estonia, 'igaks juhuks' is the standard justification for backups, redundant servers, and double-authentication.
