意味
Something completely incomprehensible.
文化的背景
Serbians often use this phrase with a shrug of the shoulders and a smile, indicating a relaxed attitude toward not knowing everything. This idiom is shared across Croatia, Bosnia, and Montenegro, making it a very useful 'pan-Balkan' expression. In Serbian schools, students often use this to bond over difficult subjects like chemistry or Latin. The use of 'Spain' reflects a time when Spain was seen as the most distant and exotic part of Europe to people in the Balkans.

Plural only!
