Asking for a meeting time
خلفية ثقافية
The 'invitation to coffee' is the foundation of social life. Asking 'Kada se vidimo?' is often the first step in a long-standing friendship ritual. Time is more fluid here. 'Kada se vidimo?' might be answered with 'Vidimo se oko pet' (See you around five), which usually means later than five. People are generally more punctual. 'Kada se vidimo?' usually leads to a specific time and a specific cafe (often on the 'Špica'). Even in business, building a personal relationship is key. 'Kada se vidimo?' can be used after a successful meeting to signal a desire for a long-term partnership.
The 'Kad' Shortcut
Native speakers almost always say 'Kad' instead of 'Kada' in casual conversation. It sounds more natural.
Don't Forget the 'Se'
Leaving out 'se' is the most common beginner mistake. It changes the meaning entirely.
