To call a friend

Bedeutung

Phoning someone socially.

🌍

Kultureller Hintergrund

The 'Phone a Friend' lifeline in the quiz show 'Lepo je biti milijonar' is called 'Klic prijatelja'. It's a household term. Calling a friend for coffee (kava) is the standard way to maintain relationships. A 'klic' is often preferred over a 'SMS' for important plans. There is a strong 'neighborly' culture where calling a friend/neighbor for small favors (like borrowing sugar or tools) is very common. Younger Slovenians are moving towards 'klicanje' via apps like Discord or WhatsApp, often calling it 'vokli' (voice calls).
