뜻
Knowing a place very well.
문화적 배경
In Italy, the 'bar' is a social hub. Being 'di casa' at your local bar means the barista knows your life story and your coffee preference. Hospitality is often more intense. Being 'di casa' might involve being forced to eat a full meal every time you visit. While still friendly, 'essere di casa' might take longer to achieve as social circles can be more private initially. The 'mammismo' culture means that friends of children are often 'di casa' and treated as extra sons/daughters by the mother.
The Fridge Test
If you can open someone's fridge without asking, you are officially 'di casa'.
Don't Overuse
Don't say you are 'di casa' after just one visit; it takes time to earn this title!
