Significado
Meeting someone socially, not just for coffee.
Contexto cultural
The 'coffee break' is sacred. It can happen at any time of day, and 'kofetkanje' is considered a valid social activity that requires no other excuse. The riverbanks of the Ljubljanica are lined with cafes specifically designed for people-watching while 'going for coffee'. In villages, 'going for coffee' often means going to the local 'gostilna' (inn), which serves as the community hub. Many important business decisions are made during the 'kava' before or after the formal meeting.
The Dual Power
Always use 'Greva' if you are asking just one person. It sounds much more natural and friendly than 'A greš'.
Don't actually have to drink coffee
It is perfectly acceptable to go 'na kavo' and order tea, juice, or even a beer. No one will judge you!
