뜻
To be realistic and steady.
문화적 배경
In Norway, being 'down-to-earth' is often linked to the national love for nature and hiking. A person who is 'grounded' is seen as someone you can take on a long mountain trip without them complaining. While 'feet on the ground' is used in the US, American culture often celebrates 'dreamers' and 'visionaries' more than Norwegian culture, where being too 'high-flying' can be seen as a negative. The Japanese equivalent 'Chi ni ashi ga tsuite iru' is highly valued in business. It suggests a worker who is diligent and doesn't make careless mistakes due to over-excitement. In Brazil, 'pés no chão' is often used as financial advice, especially in a country that has historically dealt with high inflation and economic instability.
Use it in Job Interviews
Norwegian employers value 'bakkekontakt'. Mentioning you have your feet on the ground makes you sound reliable and easy to work with.
Don't say 'føtter'
While 'føtter' is technically correct for 'feet', it sounds very unnatural in this idiom. Stick to 'beina'.

The Jante Connection
