معنی
Success comes to those who try
زمینه فرهنگی
The proverb is often linked to the 'underdog' mentality. Croatians love stories of small individuals or teams beating giants through courage. In coastal regions, this is tied to the history of sailors and fishermen who faced the dangerous 'Bura' wind. The phrase was used by the 'Uskoks' of Senj, legendary pirates/soldiers who fought the Ottomans and Venetians. In Zagreb's growing tech scene, this is a common 'mantra' for young entrepreneurs.

Watch the ending
Make sure to say 'hrabre' (plural) and not 'hrabar' (singular) to keep the proverb's rhythm.
