Significado
To plan for myself.
Contexto cultural
The phrase reflects the 'noikokyrosyni' (householding) ideal, where being in control of one's resources is a mark of adulthood. Similar to other Mediterranean cultures, there is a historical distrust of formal institutions, leading to a preference for personal 'arrangements'. Used frequently in the context of the 'gig economy' and financial instability to describe 'hustling' or managing multiple tasks. The naval origins are still felt in island communities where 'koumanto' refers to the literal management of a boat.
