Bedeutung
Describing the current weather.
Kultureller Hintergrund
A sunny day is a signal for everyone to head to the 'bašta' (outdoor cafe). It's common to spend 2-3 hours over a single espresso just enjoying the sun. On sunny days, the riverbanks in Belgrade (Sava and Danube) become the city's living room. Walking 'na suncu' is a primary weekend activity. The sun was historically revered as a source of life. Many traditional Serbian rugs (Pirot kilims) feature sun motifs to bring warmth to the home. In rural Serbia, weather talk is serious business. A sunny day in spring is celebrated as 'dobro za useve' (good for the crops).
The 'Je' Rule
Always keep 'je' as the second element in the sentence if you start with 'Danas'.
No 'It'
Never start the sentence with 'To' (it). It sounds very unnatural to native speakers.
