Biti gladan

To be hungry

Feeling the need for food.

🌍

문화적 배경

It is common to offer food multiple times. Even if you say 'Nisam gladan', a host might still bring out a plate of 'narezaka' (cold cuts). The 'marenda' is a sacred late-morning meal. If someone is 'gladan' at 10:30 AM, they are looking for a marenda, which is often a warm, cooked dish. The term 'gablec' is used similarly to 'marenda' but often refers to a quicker, work-break meal. In the east of Croatia, portions are notoriously large. Being 'gladan' there usually results in a very heavy, meat-based meal.

Gender Matters

Always check the gender of the person you are talking about. It's the most common mistake for beginners.

⚠️

Don't use 'Imati'

Never say 'Imam glad'. It sounds like you are possessing a physical object named 'Hunger'.

Politeness

If you are a guest, it's okay to say you are hungry, but it's even better to wait for the host to offer.
