Significado
To be funny or appreciate jokes.
Contexto cultural
Slovenians value 'vic' (jokes) highly. A social gathering without someone telling a long joke is rare. This region is the butt of many jokes about being stingy. Having a sense of humor here means being able to laugh at these stereotypes. There is a shared 'Balkan humor' that is often dark and political, which many Slovenians still appreciate. In cities like Ljubljana, 'suh humor' (dry humor) and irony are seen as signs of intelligence.
