뜻
Victory is sweetest at the end
문화적 배경
Swedes value 'is i magen' (patience). Celebrating too early is seen as a lack of character. The Swedish-speaking minority in Finland uses this phrase frequently, often with a focus on 'Sisu' (perseverance). While the meaning is the same, Americans might use 'It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings' as a more colorful alternative. In international business, this proverb is used to justify long-term R&D over short-term profits.
The 'Som' Rule
Remember that 'som' here means 'who'. It's a relative pronoun connecting the two halves of the phrase.
Don't overdo it
Using this phrase too often when you win can make you seem like a 'dålig vinnare' (bad winner/sore winner).
