Zdravlje je najveće bogatstvo
zdravlje je najveće bogatstvo
Health is the greatest wealth
Bedeutung
Being healthy is more important than money.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Serbia, health is the most common topic of small talk and toasts. It is considered polite to ask about someone's health in detail. Similar to Serbia, but often used with a more stoic emphasis on 'čojstvo' (humanity) and health as the foundation of a man's honor. The proverb is often used in the context of 'merak' (enjoyment of life), suggesting that one cannot truly enjoy life without health. Used identically, often in medical and lifestyle magazines to promote wellness and traditional values.
