뜻
A natural talent or deep-seated trait.
문화적 배경
Greeks place immense value on 'roots' (ρίζες). Saying a talent is in the blood is a way of honoring the family line. For islanders, the sea is often described as being in their blood, reflecting centuries of naval history. In 'Laiko' music, lyrics often use blood metaphors to describe deep, unchangeable pain or passion. The Greek diaspora often uses this phrase to describe their 'innate' survival and business instincts abroad.
Use it for compliments
It's a very warm way to praise someone's natural ability without sounding too clinical.
Check the gender
Remember to use 'της' for women and 'του' for men. 'Είναι μέσα στο αίμα της' for her.
