Wishing someone a good holiday break.
خلفية ثقافية
Serbians often go on 'godišnji odmor' in July or August. It is common to hear this phrase everywhere in the city during these months as people 'escape' the heat. In Montenegro, 'odmor' is almost a lifestyle. The phrase might be used more casually even for a long afternoon coffee session. In Serbian business, it is polite to send an email to all partners before you go on leave, and they will invariably reply with 'Uživajte u odmoru'. Serbians living abroad (the diaspora) use this phrase frequently when visiting 'zavičaj' (the homeland) during summer.
The 'Vi' Power
Even if you are talking to one person, using 'Uživajte' (plural) shows great respect in a professional setting.
Case Alert
Don't forget the 'u' at the end of 'odmoru'. Saying 'Uživajte u odmor' sounds like 'Enjoy in vacation' (broken grammar).
