Cleaning clothes.
خلفية ثقافية
Laundry is traditionally hung outside on balconies or in yards. It is common to see rows of colorful clothes drying in the breeze in Serbian cities. There is a strong cultural emphasis on the smell of clean laundry. Fabric softeners (omekšivači) are very popular and often discussed. Some people avoid doing laundry on major religious holidays (marked in red on the calendar), believing it brings bad luck. In small apartments, the 'veš mašina' is almost always located in the bathroom, not a separate laundry room.
The 'Perem' Rule
Always remember the stem change. If you say 'pram', people will understand but know you're a beginner.
Cheap Electricity
In Serbia, many people 'peru veš' at night because electricity is cheaper (jeftina struja).
