뜻
Being identical or very similar.
문화적 배경
Resemblance to parents is a major topic of conversation at family dinners. Being 'як дві краплі води' with a respected elder is seen as a sign of good luck. Water is often used in idioms to represent purity and truth. Comparing someone to water drops implies their resemblance is 'pure' and 'true.' On Instagram or TikTok, Ukrainians use this phrase in captions for 'twinning' photos or when showing 'before and after' recreations of old family photos. Classic writers use this to create a sense of uncanny doubling or to emphasize the connection between a character and their environment.
