🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

The 'Pismo Božičku' (Letter to Santa) is a huge event. The Slovenian Post even has a special 'Santa's Post' office in the town of Celje where children get replies. Historical letters from the front lines during WWI and WWII are preserved in many Slovenian families as 'dragoceni spomini' (precious memories). Slovenians are very proud of their handwriting (pisava). In schools, there is still an emphasis on 'lepopis' (calligraphy/neat writing). The 'Open Letter' (Odprto pismo) is a common tool for public intellectuals to criticize the government or social trends in major newspapers.

💡

The Neuter Rule

Remember that 'pismo' is neuter. This makes it easy because the object form (accusative) is the same as the subject form (nominative).

⚠️

Don't say 'pisam'

Even though many Slovenian verbs end in -am, 'pisati' is an 'i-conjugation' verb. It's 'pišem'.
