A1 Idiom ニュートラル

Kaip ant delno

Like on a palm

意味

To be very clear or visible.

🌍

文化的背景

The phrase is often associated with the 'Piliakalniai' (mound hills). Lithuanians have a deep spiritual connection to these high points in an otherwise flat landscape. In folk songs, the 'palm' is sometimes a metaphor for the smallness of the homeland, which is small enough to fit in a hand but contains everything one needs. Lithuania is a leader in Fintech and transparency. This idiom is frequently used in business media to describe 'open banking' and transparent data practices. Young Lithuanians use the phrase to complain about the lack of privacy in small towns or on social networks.

💡

When you use this for a view, try to gesture with an open hand to reinforce the idiom.

⚠️

Case sensitivity

Make sure you use 'delno' (genitive). Using 'delnas' (nominative) will sound like a broken translation.
