المعنى
To rest or relax.
خلفية ثقافية
The phrase is deeply linked to the 'chata' (cottage) culture. Taking a 'voraz' often involves leaving the city for nature. In Czech offices, the 'coffee break' is a sacred time for a 'voraz' where gossip and relaxation happen away from the desk. In Prague, you might hear 'oraz' without the 'v'. Both are understood, but 'voraz' is more common in Bohemia. The first beer after a long shift is often described as the start of a 'voraz'.
Use with 'pořádnej'
To sound like a true local, add the adjective 'pořádnej' (proper/big). 'Dám si pořádnej voraz' sounds much more natural than just 'Dám si voraz'.
Watch the 'z'
Even though it's spelled with a 'z', it's pronounced like an 's'. Don't buzz the end!
