A2 Proverb ニュートラル

man ska inte gråta över spilld mjölk

Don't cry over spilled milk

意味

Don't regret things that have already happened.

🌍

文化的背景

Swedes value 'lagom' and emotional restraint. Crying over small things is seen as inefficient. Similar to Sweden, the 'Sisu' (resilience) culture encourages moving on from small failures without complaint. The phrase is identical, but often used with a more 'optimistic' spin (look on the bright side). The equivalent 'Fukusui bon ni kaerazu' is much more serious and often used for permanent social shame.

💡

Use it for yourself

It's a great way to show you are humble and resilient when you make a mistake.

⚠️

Don't be dismissive

If a friend is really upset, wait a moment before using this, or it might seem like you don't care.
