معنی
Preparing a fresh pot of coffee.
زمینه فرهنگی
Coffee is always served with a glass of water. It is considered rude to drink the coffee without having water available to cleanse the palate. The ritual is very similar, but the coffee is often called 'Bosanska kafa'. It is frequently served with 'ratluk' (Turkish delight) on the side. Coffee is a central part of 'čojstvo' (honor/humanity). Offering coffee to a stranger is a fundamental duty of a household. In countries like Germany or the USA, Serbians continue to 'kuvati kafu' as a way to maintain their cultural identity and connect with their roots.
The Foam Secret
If you want to sound like a pro, mention the 'pena' (foam). A good coffee must have it!
Don't say 'Make'
While 'praviti' is okay, 'kuvati' will make you sound much more like a native speaker when talking about domestic coffee.
