뜻
Good times follow bad times.
문화적 배경
In Slovenia, weather is a primary topic of conversation due to the country's diverse climate zones (Alpine, Mediterranean, Continental). The proverb is linked to the 'kozolec' (hayrack), a symbol of Slovenian identity. Rain is a threat to the hay, but the sun is its savior. Many 'Narodno-zabavna' (folk-pop) songs use this proverb to tell stories of unrequited love that eventually finds a happy ending. In cities like Ljubljana, the phrase is often used ironically when it has been raining for two weeks straight (which happens often in autumn).
Use it for empathy
This is the safest phrase to use when you don't know what to say to someone who is sad. It is never offensive.
Watch the case
Don't forget the -u at the end of 'dežju'. Saying 'po dež' sounds very foreign.
