معنی
Resigning from one's position.
زمینه فرهنگی
In Serbia, quitting a job is often a very emotional process. It is common to have a long conversation with your boss about your personal reasons before handing in the paper. The 'otkazni rok' (notice period) is strictly followed. If you 'date otkaz', you are usually expected to work for another 30 days to train your replacement. Older generations in Serbia might view 'dati otkaz' as risky or irresponsible, as they grew up in a system where job security was the highest value. In the Belgrade tech scene, 'dati otkaz' is seen as a positive step for career growth and is celebrated among peers.
Don't mix up the verbs!
Always double-check if you are 'giving' (dati) or 'getting' (dobiti). It's the difference between a new beginning and a bad day.
Use it for contracts
You can use 'dati otkaz' for your gym membership or phone contract to sound more like a native speaker.
