Puna kapa

A full cap

معنی

Having more than enough

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

Using 'Puna kapa' while drinking coffee is a national pastime. It's part of the 'fjaka' or 'pomalo' lifestyle—complaining about having too much to do while sitting in a cafe. In coastal regions, you might hear 'Pun mi je kufer' more often, but 'Puna kapa' is universally understood and used. In the capital, the phrase is often used in a professional context to describe being overwhelmed by bureaucracy. Related to the rich agricultural history, 'puna kapa' is often used literally and figuratively regarding food portions.

🎯

The 'Mi' Trick

If you want to complain, always include 'mi' (to me). Without it, you're just describing a full hat!

⚠️

Watch the Case

Remember that the thing you have enough of must be in the Genitive case (e.g., posla, vremena, kiše).
