뜻
Asking for the starting time of an event.
문화적 배경
The 'Akademskih 15' (Academic 15) is a common cultural practice where events might start 15 minutes late. In broader Balkan culture, 'start times' for social events are often seen as suggestions rather than strict rules. Slovenia shares the Central European value of punctuality for business and official appointments. Younger generations in the capital often use 'Kdaj štartamo?' as a more energetic, informal version.
The 'Se' Rule
Always include 'se' when the thing starting is an event. It's the most common mistake for English speakers!
Be Specific
If you want a precise time, use 'Ob kateri uri?' instead of just 'Kdaj?'.
