Imeti srce iz zlata

Have a heart of gold

To be very kind and generous.

🌍

문화적 배경

The concept of 'dobrota' (goodness) is often linked to the figure of the 'Slovenian Mother,' a central archetype in national literature who sacrifices everything for her children. In villages, 'srce iz zlata' is often proven through 'tovarištvo' (comradeship) during harvest or building houses. Major charity events like 'Dobrodelni maraton' use this imagery to encourage donations, appealing to the 'golden heart' of the nation. Many Slovenian folk songs with religious themes use gold to describe the hearts of saints or the Virgin Mary.

💡

Use it for Grandparents

⚠️

Check the Case

Don't forget that 'iz' forces 'zlato' to become 'zlata'. Saying 'iz zlato' is a very common beginner mistake.

Yes! If you have a very kind and gentle dog, you can say 'Moj pes ima srce iz zlata.' It's very sweet.

Only if you have a very close relationship with the person. Otherwise, it's a bit too emotional for standard business correspondence.

'Dobro srce' (good heart) is a bit more basic. 'Srce iz zlata' is more emphatic and poetic.

Because of the preposition 'iz', which requires the genitive case. In Slovenian, the genitive of 'zlato' is 'zlata'.

No, that's not a standard idiom in Slovenian. We only use gold or stone.

Not at all. It is used by all generations, from children to the elderly.

It sounds a bit arrogant to say 'I have a heart of gold.' It's better to let others say it about you!
