To buy the newspaper

Buying reading material

🌍

문화적 배경

The 'Tisak' kiosk is the most common place to buy newspapers. It's a social hub where people also buy bus tickets and pay bills. In the morning, it's common to see elderly men gathered at cafes with a single newspaper shared among them. The 'fjaka' (leisurely state of mind) often involves sitting by the sea for hours after you 'kupiti novine'. On Saturdays, 'Špica' is the time to be seen in the city center with the most popular weekend editions of newspapers.

💡

Always Plural

Even if you hold one physical paper, it's 'novine'. Think of it like 'pants' or 'scissors' in English.

💬

The Kiosk Lady

Being polite to the person at the kiosk ('teta na kiosku') is a great way to practice your 'Dobar dan' and 'Hvala'.
