معنی
Getting a present from someone.
زمینه فرهنگی
When you receive a gift in Croatia, it is considered polite to open it immediately in front of the person who gave it to you. This shows that you are excited and appreciative. The 'Coffee and Chocolate' rule: If you are visiting someone's home, the most common gift to give (and thus for the host to 'dobiti') is a 200g bag of ground coffee and a box of chocolates (like Bajadera). Saint Nicholas Day (December 6th) is a major day for children to 'dobiti poklon'. They clean their boots and put them in the window, hoping to find sweets inside the next morning. For weddings, it has become standard to 'dobiti poklon' in the form of an envelope with money. This is often used by the couple to pay for the wedding dinner costs.
The 'Od' Rule
Always use 'od' + Genitive to say who the gift is from. 'Dobio sam poklon od Marka.'
Don't say 'Uzeti'
Even if you physically 'take' the gift from their hand, the verb is 'dobiti'. 'Uzeti' sounds like stealing in this context!
