뜻
Walking instead of using a vehicle.
문화적 배경
In cities like Bucharest, 'a merge pe jos' is often a point of pride for those trying to avoid the 'infarct' (traffic heart attack) of the city streets. In villages, walking is still a primary way to get to the 'magazinul mixt' (general store) or to a neighbor's house, often involving long distances on unpaved roads. The proverb 'Mersul pe jos face piciorul frumos' is so ingrained that it's often used jokingly when someone is forced to walk a long way. Walking to monasteries (like those in Bucovina) is a common spiritual practice, where 'a merge pe jos' becomes an act of penance or devotion.
The Health Proverb
Use 'Mersul pe jos face piciorul frumos' to sound like a local when someone mentions walking.
Don't say 'prin picioare'
Even though you use your feet, the preposition 'prin' is never used here.
