뜻
Starting a conversation in a social setting.
문화적 배경
Slovenians often use 'vreme' (weather) as the safest icebreaker. It is neutral and everyone has an opinion on it. In Slovenian business, 'zlomiti led' often happens during the 'kava' (coffee) before the actual meeting starts. In villages, offering a 'šilce' (a small glass) of schnapps is the traditional way to break the ice with a visitor. On apps, a simple 'Živjo, kako si?' is the most common way to break the ice, though creative openers are becoming more popular.
The 'Weather' Trick
If you don't know how to break the ice in Slovenia, just mention the weather. It works 100% of the time.
Don't overdo it
If you try too hard to break the ice with too many jokes, it might have the opposite effect!
