Biti sretan

To be happy

معنی

Feeling joy or satisfaction.

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

In Dalmatia, happiness is often linked to 'fjaka'—a state of mind where one is perfectly content doing nothing, usually during the heat of the day. The 'kava' culture is essential. Being happy often means having enough time to sit for two hours over a single espresso with a friend. There is a strong emphasis on family. A 'happy' person is often defined by the health and success of their children and relatives. The concept of 'Sreća' was personified in some myths as a beautiful girl spinning a golden thread, representing a person's good fortune.
