뜻
To live in great luxury and comfort.
문화적 배경
Pigs are often associated with luck in Czech culture. The 'Golden Pig' (zlaté prasátko) is a traditional Christmas vision promised to children who fast until dinner. Rye (žito) was historically the most important grain for bread-making in the region, making it a symbol of essential wealth. Many Czech idioms are 'earthy' and come from a time when most people were farmers. Using animal metaphors is seen as friendly and grounded.
Use for pets!
Czechs love their pets. Describing a pampered dog or cat with this phrase is a very natural way to sound like a native.
Don't use with 'být'
Remember to use 'mít se'. Saying 'Jsem jako prase v žitě' sounds like you are literally a pig standing in a field.
