뜻
Wishing someone a peaceful sleep.
문화적 배경
In rural Romania, it was traditionally believed that saying 'Somn ușor' helped protect the sleeper from 'strigoi' (spirits) by ensuring their soul stayed 'light' and could return easily to the body. In the Republic of Moldova, the phrase is identical and used with the same frequency and warmth as in Romania. In modern cities, 'Somn ușor' is the most common hashtag for late-night Instagram stories or Facebook posts showing a cozy bed or a cup of tea. For Romanians living abroad, 'Somn ușor' is a powerful 'home' phrase that maintains a sense of intimacy and connection with their native culture.
