뜻
To confront or deal with a difficult situation or problem.
문화적 배경
In Portugal, 'fazer face' is often linked to the national virtue of 'aguentar' (enduring). It appears frequently in political discourse regarding the European Union and austerity. In Brazil, the phrase is a marker of 'norma culta' (cultivated norm). Using it correctly in a business meeting in São Paulo immediately signals high education and professionalism. In Angolan media, the phrase is common in the context of 'reconstrução nacional' (national reconstruction) and facing economic diversification challenges. Often used in the context of humanitarian aid and natural disasters (like cyclones) to describe the response to the crisis.

Don't use with people
Unless you are in a military context, don't say 'fiz face ao João'. Use 'enfrentei o João' or 'falei com o João' instead.
