Bedeutung
Day with lots of sunlight.
Kultureller Hintergrund
A 'sunčan dan' is the ultimate excuse for 'kafenisanje'. Serbs will sit for hours in outdoor cafes (bašte) even if they have work to do. Serbs use the term 'zubato sunce' (toothy sun) for a sunny day in winter that is deceptively cold. It 'bites' you despite looking warm. Even on a perfect 'sunčan dan', many Serbs will avoid opening two windows at once for fear of 'promaja' (the draft), which is culturally believed to cause illness. The weather on a family's 'Slava' (Patron Saint Day) is often discussed. A 'sunčan dan' on a Slava is seen as a very positive omen for the family's year.
