意思
Something that is quite difficult to achieve.
文化背景
The 'funt' was the primary unit of weight in the Russian Empire until the Soviet Union officially adopted the metric system in 1925. The idiom preserves a piece of pre-revolutionary history. This phrase was frequently used in Soviet-era films to show a character's 'salt-of-the-earth' wisdom or to add comedic emphasis to a stressful situation. On social media, the phrase is often used ironically or in memes to describe 'first-world problems' that aren't actually that hard, mocking the original serious intent. It is a very 'parental' phrase. Russian parents often use it to teach children that life requires effort and that they shouldn't expect everything to be handed to them.
Use 'Это вам не...'
Adding 'Это вам не...' at the beginning makes you sound much more like a native speaker.
Don't use with 'очень'
You don't say 'очень не фунт изюма'. The idiom itself already implies 'very difficult'.

2 个问题No, idioms are fixed. If you change 'raisins' to 'apples', it loses its meaning and sounds like a mistake.
