Pikka viha pidama

To hold a grudge

意味

Staying angry at someone for long.

🌍

文化的背景

Estonians are often seen as reserved. Holding a grudge (pikka viha pidama) is sometimes viewed as a national trait of stubbornness, but also as a sign of taking relationships seriously. Very similar to Estonia, the Finnish 'pitkävihainen' describes a person who holds a grudge. It's a shared Nordic/Baltic character trait of being slow to forgive. In American culture, 'holding a grudge' is often seen as a negative trait that hinders personal growth, leading to a culture of 'moving on' quickly. In Japan, social harmony (Wa) is vital. Holding a grudge (ne ni motsu) is seen as a threat to this harmony, though it is often hidden behind a polite exterior.
