뜻
A greeting used during the evening hours.
문화적 배경
In Serbian culture, failing to say 'Dobro veče' when entering a small shop or a neighbor's space is seen as a sign of poor upbringing (nevaspitanje). In Montenegro, greetings can be slightly more formal and drawn out. You might hear 'Dobro vam veče' more frequently as a sign of traditional hospitality. In the north, influenced by Austro-Hungarian history, the evening greeting is often followed by a very polite inquiry about one's health or family. In the capital, 'Dobro veče' is the standard for service staff, but among the youth, it is often replaced by 'Gde si' or 'Ćao' even in the evening.
