뜻
Being extremely happy
문화적 배경
In Croatia, this idiom is often used in the context of sports successes, which are a major part of national identity. Across the Balkans, the number seven is often seen as a lucky or holy number, appearing in many folk tales and songs. While secular today, the phrase still resonates with the Catholic heritage of the region, where 'nebo' is the ultimate goal. Younger Croatians use the hashtag #usedmomnebu on Instagram for travel and food photos.
