معنی
To have a hangover.
زمینه فرهنگی
In Slovenia, it's common to offer 'repa' (turnip) or 'zelje' (cabbage) soup to someone who 'ima mačka'. The 'cat' imagery is shared with Germany and Austria, reflecting a shared history of coffee-house and tavern culture. While 'maček' is used in Slovenia, neighbors in Croatia or Serbia might use 'mamurluk', though they understand the cat reference. Among Slovenian students, 'imeti mačka' is almost a rite of passage during 'Brucovanje' (freshman orientation).
Use 'Mam' for extra fluency
In casual speech, Slovenians drop the 'i' in 'imam'. Say 'Mam mačka' to sound like a local.
Watch the gender
Always use 'mačka' (masculine accusative). 'Mačko' (feminine) will confuse people.
