Signification
Enjoying oneself.
Contexte culturel
The phrase reflects the Slovenian 'slow life' philosophy. It's not about being loud; it's about the 'beauty' of the moment. In the capital, you'll often hear the German-influenced 'Fajn se imej' instead of 'Lepo se imej.' In eastern Slovenia, the intonation might change, but the phrase remains the bedrock of social politeness. Slovenians living abroad often use this phrase in letters to maintain a sense of 'domačnost' (homeliness).
The Dual Rule
If you are talking to a couple, always use 'Imejta se lepo.' It shows you really know your Slovenian grammar!
Don't forget the 'se'
Without 'se', you are just saying 'Have beautiful,' which makes no sense to a native speaker.

5 questionsYes, absolutely. It's very common to end a friendly or neutral email with 'Imejte se lepo.'
No, they mean the exact same thing. The word order is just a matter of personal preference or emphasis.
You can, but it's less common. 'Lepo' is the standard idiomatic choice for having a good time.
Use 'Zelo lepo sem se imel' (masculine) or 'Zelo lepo sem se imela' (feminine).
Yes, similar versions exist in Croatian (Lijepo se provedi) and Serbian, but the 'imeti se lepo' structure is very characteristically Slovenian.
