Prati sudove

prati sudove

To wash dishes

معنی

Cleaning kitchenware.

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

Washing dishes by hand is still very common in Serbia, even in households with dishwashers, as many believe the machine doesn't clean as well as a human. A guest offering to wash dishes is a standard polite gesture. The host's refusal is equally standard. It's a social ritual of mutual respect. In student 'domovi' (dorms), the sink is a communal area where 'pranje sudova' becomes a social event or a source of conflict. In villages, 'sudovi' might refer to large metal cauldrons used for making ajvar or rakija, which require heavy-duty scrubbing.

💡

Aspect Matters

Use 'prati' for the activity and 'oprati' when you want to emphasize that the job is done.

⚠️

Not for Clothes

Never say 'prati sudove' for laundry. Use 'prati veš'.
