معنی
To be rejected by a romantic interest.
زمینه فرهنگی
The phrase is deeply tied to 'Taneční' (dance classes). Every Czech teenager knows the fear of getting a 'basket' during the invitation to a waltz. The 'basket' motif is shared with Germany and Austria, reflecting a shared medieval legal and social history. In the era of Tinder, 'dostat košem' has evolved to include being 'ghosted' or 'left on read' after asking for a meetup. In old Czech songs, 'koš' (basket) was a symbol of a girl's refusal to marry a suitor, often used in a playful, teasing way.
The Case Matters
Always use 'košem' (instrumental). If you say 'koš', people will look for a physical basket in your hands.
Not for Work
Don't tell your boss you 'dostali košem' regarding a raise. It sounds like you were flirting with them!
