Contexto cultural
Public toilets in Slovenia are often marked with 'WC'. In older buildings, you might see 'M' for Moški (Men) and 'Ž' for Ženske (Women). It is common to pay a small fee (0.50€) for public toilets in Ljubljana. Always carry some change. In restaurants, the toilet is usually free for guests, but you might need to ask for a key or a code. Slovenians value privacy. When you enter a public restroom, it's polite to keep noise to a minimum.
The WC Shortcut
If you forget the word 'stranišče', just say 've-ce'. Everyone knows it!
Formal vs Informal
Always use 'Oprostite' with people you don't know. 'Oprosti' is only for friends.
