문화적 배경
Estonians love nature. Flowers are given for almost every occasion, from school graduations to visiting a friend's new home. This idiom reflects that deep appreciation. There are several popular songs titled 'Elu on lill', which has helped keep the idiom popular across generations. The hashtag #eluonlill is very popular on Instagram among Estonians to tag vacation photos or happy moments. In Estonian startups, 'elu on lill' is often used when a software bug is fixed or a new funding round is closed.
Use it for relief
It's best used right after a problem is solved. It shows you are relieved.
Don't overdo it
If you say it every day, you might sound a bit fake or annoying to stoic Estonians.
