معنی
To take a quick look.
زمینه فرهنگی
The phrase is deeply linked to the 'coffee culture'. When sitting for hours at a cafe, people-watching is the primary activity, and 'baciti oko' is the verb for it. In coastal regions, the variant 'baciti očadu' is common. It reflects the Italian influence (occiata) on the local dialect. In the capital, 'škicnuti' is a very popular German-influenced alternative (from German 'schicken' or 'gucken' variants) used interchangeably with 'baciti oko'. The phrase is one of the most resilient idioms kept by the diaspora, often used when asking relatives back home to check on properties or family matters.
Use it to soften requests
If you want someone to help you but don't want to sound demanding, use 'baciti oko'. It makes the task sound like it only takes 5 seconds.
Singular only!
Never say 'baciti oči'. It sounds like you are physically removing your eyes.
