意味
to fix in one's memory.
文化的背景
The 'birka' (wooden tally) was so essential that it was often buried with its owner to settle 'debts' in the afterlife. Teachers in the Soviet era frequently used 'зарубить на носу' to instill discipline, which is why many older Russians associate the phrase with strictness. In the age of 'bookmarks' and 'saves,' young Russians might use the phrase ironically when they finally remember something obvious. Russian writers like Dostoevsky and Tolstoy used memory metaphors to show the deep psychological scars of their characters.
Use 'Себе'
Adding 'себе' (заруби СЕБЕ на память) makes you sound much more like a native speaker. It adds a reflexive emphasis.
Aspect Matters
Never use 'зарубать.' The idiom only exists in the perfective 'зарубить' because it's about the result of remembering.
