뜻
To be very stingy.
문화적 배경
In Slovak villages, hospitality is a matter of pride. If you are 'z lacného kraja', you risk losing social standing. The concept of 'regional prices' is common in former Austro-Hungarian territories, where city vs. country price gaps were huge. With the rise of e-commerce, the phrase is now used for people who spend hours looking for a 1-euro coupon.
Use it with 'nebuď'
The most natural way to use this is telling a friend 'Nebuď z lacného kraja!' when they are being cheap.
Careful with strangers
Don't say this to a waiter or a shopkeeper unless you are joking and they are smiling.
