Meaning
Confirming an arrangement or plan.
Cultural Background
Slovenians love 'kofetkanje'. 'Zmenjeno' is the most common word used to end a conversation about when to meet for coffee. When you say 'Zmenjeno', you are expected to be on time. Being late is considered disrespectful to the 'deal' you made. In rural Slovenia, a verbal 'Zmenjeno' is often as strong as a written contract. People take their word very seriously. In texting, 'Zmenjeno' is often shortened to 'Zmenjeno 👍' or just 'Velja'. It's the standard way to end a planning thread.
The Thumbs Up Word

Don't over-formalize
Avoid saying 'Jaz sem zmenjeno'. It's just 'Zmenjeno!'.
