In the Republic of Moldova, the phrase is identical and equally common, often used in the context of agricultural development. There is a high respect for 'self-made' individuals who 'au pus pe picioare' businesses without state help. Grandmothers often use this phrase when feeding grandchildren, believing that a good meal is what 'puts you on your feet.'
