뜻
Busy schedule.
문화적 배경
The 'Matka Polka' (Polish Mother) archetype often uses this phrase to describe the selfless, non-stop labor of raising a family. The 'wyścig szczurów' (rat race) in Warsaw's business district (Mordor) has made this phrase a badge of honor for young professionals. During 'żniwa' (harvest), this phrase is a literal reality where work continues from dawn until dusk. The period of 'sesja' (exams) is culturally accepted as a time when health and rest are sacrificed for grades.
Use for excuses

Genitive Alert
