To be busy

معنی

Having a lot of work or tasks.

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

The concept of 'pridnost' (being hardworking) is a pillar of Slovenian identity. Being 'zaposlen' is often seen as a moral positive. In Slovenian offices, 'biti zaposlen' is a valid reason to skip non-essential meetings. Time is highly respected. On weekends, being 'zaposlen' usually refers to physical labor on one's property, which is a source of pride. In more relaxed social circles, being 'too zaposlen' can be teased as 'acting like a German' (too rigid/work-focused).
