뜻
To be strong-willed and goal-oriented.
문화적 배경
In Sweden, 'ben i näsan' is often used as a high compliment for women in business, reflecting a cultural shift towards valuing female assertiveness. The idiom is also used in Finland-Swedish, often with a slightly more 'rugged' connotation of surviving harsh conditions. In modern tech startups in Stockholm, this phrase is used to describe 'hustle' and the ability to pivot under pressure. Authors like Astrid Lindgren often created characters (like Pippi or Ronja) who embody the 'ben i näsan' spirit, even if the exact phrase isn't always used.
