意思
True friends help during hard times.
文化背景
In Croatia, 'nevolja' often refers to the historical hardships the country has faced. Solidarity during the Homeland War in the 90s is a prime example of this proverb in action on a national scale. Friendships are often maintained over long coffee sessions. However, the proverb serves as a reminder that 'coffee friends' are not necessarily 'true friends.' In rural parts of Croatia (like Lika or Zagora), mutual aid in farming or construction is expected. This proverb is a core part of the village ethics. The Croatian national football team often uses themes of 'togetherness in hardship' to explain their success against larger nations.
Use it for gratitude
It's the most powerful way to thank a Croatian friend for a big favor. It shows you value their character, not just the favor.
Avoid over-dramatizing
Don't use it if someone just lent you a pen. It's for 'nevolja' (real trouble).
