뜻
wishing for no bad thoughts.
문화적 배경
The phrase reflects the 'Proshchenie' (forgiveness) culture, where clearing one's conscience before a journey is vital. The word 'Likho' was a one-eyed evil spirit. Not mentioning it was a way to stay safe. It is increasingly used in 'exit interviews' or final emails to maintain professional networks. This phrase is a staple in Russian war movies and dramas to heighten the emotional stakes of a parting.
