🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

The fear of 'Promaja' (draft) is a major cultural trait. 'Duva vetar' is often a signal to close all windows to avoid getting sick. The 'Košava' wind is a specific type of wind that people talk about constantly in autumn and winter. It is known for being very cold and clearing the smog. In coastal regions, people distinguish between 'Bura' (cold, dry wind) and 'Jugo' (warm, humid wind). They might say 'Duva bura' instead of just 'Duva vetar'. Wind is often seen as a mystical force in folk songs, sometimes carrying messages from loved ones or omens of war.
