A positive suggestion.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Slovenians are generally pragmatic and appreciate sensible suggestions. Saying 'dobra ideja' shows you value logic and efficiency. In the mountain regions, a 'dobra ideja' often involves safety or weather considerations. If someone suggests turning back because of clouds, it's a very 'dobra ideja'. In the capital, 'dobra ideja' is the currency of social planning, especially regarding which 'plac' (place) to visit for drinks. Slovenian business culture is hierarchical but moving towards collaboration. Using this phrase with a superior is now common and encouraged.
The 'A' Rule
Just remember: if it ends in 'a', it's usually feminine. Dobra + Ideja = A + A.
Add 'Zelo'
If you really like an idea, say 'Zelo dobra ideja!' It makes you sound much more fluent and enthusiastic.
