Kultureller Hintergrund

The phrase is the start of the 'kava' ritual. Asking where to go for coffee is a daily social requirement. In coastal regions, 'Gdje idemo?' often implies going to the 'riva' (waterfront) for a walk. In the capital, this often refers to 'Špica'—the Saturday morning walk through the city center. Often used when deciding which 'konoba' (traditional tavern) to visit for truffle pasta.
