معنی
Feeling the need for food.
زمینه فرهنگی
It is common to offer food multiple times. Even if you say 'Nisam gladan', a host might still bring out a plate of 'narezaka' (cold cuts). The 'marenda' is a sacred late-morning meal. If someone is 'gladan' at 10:30 AM, they are looking for a marenda, which is often a warm, cooked dish. The term 'gablec' is used similarly to 'marenda' but often refers to a quicker, work-break meal. In the east of Croatia, portions are notoriously large. Being 'gladan' there usually results in a very heavy, meat-based meal.
Gender Matters
Always check the gender of the person you are talking about. It's the most common mistake for beginners.
Don't use 'Imati'
Never say 'Imam glad'. It sounds like you are possessing a physical object named 'Hunger'.
