뜻
Traveling back to one's residence.
문화적 배경
Lithuanians often use 'namo' as a valid excuse to leave any social event without further explanation. It is seen as a basic human right to want to be in one's own space. For the Lithuanian diaspora, 'eiti namo' often refers to returning to Lithuania for holidays, showing that 'home' is a country, not just a building. Unlike some cultures where staying late is mandatory, in Lithuania, 'eiti namo' on time is generally respected as part of a healthy work-life balance. In many traditional songs, 'ėjimas namo' is associated with the sunset and the end of labor, often depicted with a sense of peace and longing.

Namo vs Namie
