뜻
Having more than enough
문화적 배경
Using 'Puna kapa' while drinking coffee is a national pastime. It's part of the 'fjaka' or 'pomalo' lifestyle—complaining about having too much to do while sitting in a cafe. In coastal regions, you might hear 'Pun mi je kufer' more often, but 'Puna kapa' is universally understood and used. In the capital, the phrase is often used in a professional context to describe being overwhelmed by bureaucracy. Related to the rich agricultural history, 'puna kapa' is often used literally and figuratively regarding food portions.
The 'Mi' Trick
If you want to complain, always include 'mi' (to me). Without it, you're just describing a full hat!
Watch the Case
Remember that the thing you have enough of must be in the Genitive case (e.g., posla, vremena, kiše).
