Omg! This took me back to my childhood growing up with my Croatian grandmother in the U.S. I laughed so hard about the drafts. We had to drive in the family car, in the summer, with no air conditioning and one window cracked open just a little, just so we didn't have a draft! You did this very respectfully. Thank you @
Indeed all people of Balkans will laugh on this because it's of course all funny but our elders beleved in those cures and some where sometimes really effective...especially "rakija" 😂🤣😅😊
@Eline may i ask since you are a dutch aswell and have a balkan husband. how did u do it. i have a croatian boyfriend and i got offered to possibly move to croatia to join him in procimity 2 years. but i need to weight out all the options and pros and cons. are you living in serbia with him? and if so, can u tell me abit about the balkan living. i would trade my crouded city life and money suport (wajong uitkering) for a villlage life with hard work, good food and no money suport. so up or under when it comes to a normal job :/ anything u can tell me about?
Wow💛 it amazes me how many similarities there are between Croatia and Poland. In Poland: sitting in the corner is a no-no for singles🧐, draft is a killer 😅, walking barefoot 🦶 not recommend (you often hear “don’t walk barefoot, here’s your PAPCIE/KAPCIE 🩴,”, girls shouldn’t sit on cold surface🥶(same reasons as the movie shows), putting your bag on the floor make your money go away 💰…:) how come there are so many similar things, I guess it’s being a Slavic nation :) ps I love Croatia, my fav place to visit. Miss it already 🙋🏻♀️
I am Croatian and never heard before about many of these traditions especially involving the placement of a purse on the floor/money goes bye-bye as well as no singles allowed sitting in the corner lol. Must have something to do with the fact I was raised in Zagreb :P
@@sinkec Zagreb is a different country! Everything in Croatia revolves around Zagreb or at least people living in Zagreb think. The whole country belongs to them, they're convinced. They always speed on the highways, and whenever there is a massive collision, you can bet your life at least one car will have Zagreb plates. You buy anything in Zagreb, and has to be delivered somewhere else, "Oh wait, that will be an extra". They always think they're superior to everyone else...like wtf?!!! I like the city, but not so much the people from there, as you can tell.
@@sinkec in Poland these superstisions are very common among elderly people. In younger generarions people know it, but It’s rather more like a funny custom - people do not take it seriously. Still - most polish citizens know them very well.
Pa tada i jesu i najukusnije; sutra i prekosutra od dana kuhanja. Ambalaža nije toliko važna (iako je poželjna neka vatrostalna!), njuhom detektiramo istu čak i da je pokušaju staviti u sef na ISS-u..
Not just unlabelled bottles, also plastic containers. "Is that ice cream or punjena paprika in the freezer?" 😅 Also, I think you missed a big one: don't go out with wet hair! 😂
Omg don't even go their with wet hair..i wouldn't dare go out w wet hair not unless i wanted 2 hear my beloved mother's cussings lol ohhh n the 100 reasons why u shouldn't go out w wet hair! 😂😂
Oh my gosh I can’t believe how so many of these are followed by my African-American family from the South! Especially the no walking barefoot/sitting on cold surfaces and placing your purse on the ground. We believe the money drains from your purse (figuratively not literally) if you sit it on the floor. Also, always look inside containers in the kitchen. You may think it’s butter in there but it’s turns out to be leftovers from dinner! Lol
Hello. Although I am from Japan, my wife is from Serbia. Whenever I make promaja, she screams at me and says Promaja! Also, her mother constantly criticize me when I don't wear slippas in front of her. Whenever I eat too much, my wife tells me to drink a bit of rakija and she brings the bottle like you said in the video. Great video. Thanks.
for sitting on the floor every person will react ... especially if you are a woman ... ovarian inflammation, and wc every half hour ... that's why we react that way
There's an old croatian joke. An old lady asks youngsters: "What are you doing, kids?" - We are doing drugs, grandma! "Okay, just don't sit on concrete!"
Thank you so much for these videos! I found out yesterday that my husband might be eligible for Croatian dual-citizenship, so now I am researching everything I can about Croatian culture. Your videos have been so helpful!
I am constantly laughing/arguing about the draft thing with my Croatian girlfriend. At first I thought she was just making it up. It's hilarious/frustrating. I like a breeze through our house. Correction: I used to enjoy a breeze through the house in the Summer
Hmmm.. Maybe then they are not superstitions but acquired experience.. 🤣 I know placebo is a powerful thing, but when I'm sweaty and a cold draft washes over me, my neck always gets stiff.. That superstition is really powerful.. 😉
As a kid and adolescent in summer on the coast I was barefoot all the time. I only wore shoes to church and when going out in the evening, but old people were sad to see me barefoot indoors on the cold stone floors. You're spot on and your Croatian is impressive.
This is no wonder. Before the Roman Emperor (see "De Administrando Imperio") invited us to settle today's Croatia, we Croats lived in today's Poland. The mother of "Karol Wojtyla", Pope John Paul II, described herself as a Croatian. Das ist kein Wunder. Bevor uns der römische Kaiser (siehe "De Administrando Imperio") eingeladen hat das heutige Kroatien zu besiedeln, haben wir Kroaten im heutigen Polen gelebt. Die Mutter von "Karol Wojtyla", Papst Johannes Paul II, bezeichnete sich selbst als Kroatin.
Always aware of the "chill" also exists here in Italy. My Italian partner always reminds our daughter to blow dry her hair before we go out so she doesn't get the "torcicollo" (neck cramp) from the "chill." I always go out with wet hair (I hate blow dryers LOL), and thankfully have never gotten the torcicollo. It's neat to see shared practices in Europe.
Great video, I‘ve been laughing hard while watching 😁😂🤣 Papuče, propuh, rakija … so true! Your in-laws are talented actors with a great sense of humor 😊👍🏼
Great video!! Fanny packs are optional but the rest is spot on. And it is called the sea for the simple reason that it really is the sea. Water comes from the tap or a bottle, and the ocean in nowhere near us ;)
The draft one made me laugh! That was 100% my Tata. A lot of these remind me of him. I love your channel for that. Brings back so many good memories of my Dad. Also my sister fell victim to the open water bottle. 🤣🤣🤣
Your video is so true, we are from Australia and visited family in Split a few years ago. Those drafts can be deadly.......especially in the peak on of hot summer day. In Croatia they also have an aversion to Air Conditioning, the change in temperature will make you sick !
Yes. My grandmothers in Poland would never let me anywhere aroud draft, sitting on anything cold would be a big no, vodka was a great remedy for stomach pain, they woul use lard on people's chest as a remedy. We have the same with sitting by a corner and putting bags on the floor. I bet there are many more.
PamHardy I love this, We have just come back from visiting friends in Split and did a couple of these (bag on the ground, and sitting on cold stone).. I really hope I am not going to be a poor woman now... oh, another one was my friends surprise that I was not wearing stockings (it was a warm day in late April). A big no no before 1st May, the very real risk of catching a chill!
Soo spot on. I have experienced all of these big no nos when visiting my relatives in Croatia and laughed when I saw this video. As born and raised in Sweden, we are used to more cold climate and don´t see any danger by walking barefoot or sit on concrete during the summertime in Croatia.
This was so funny! What a laugh with my Australian born children who have heard bits and pieces of these rules - had us in stitches! Keep up the videos please- we love them! Greetings from Sydney, Australia in lockdown
I LOVE this video!! My grandmother was Croatian and us kids got in trouble and often didn’t understand why. (Dad did NOT want us to learn Croatian!) This explains a lot! The 1st year of marriage, my southerner Mamma gave Grandma a purse for Christmas but neglected to put money in it! She was completely confused when grandmother was FURIOUS!!! Apparently, a purse given empty STAYS EMPTY!!
oh the unlabeled bottle one had me laughing hard. My father once took a sip of a window cleaning liquid because my mother put it in an unlabeled bottle 😂😂
When I have nausea I take a few sips of rakija and it really helps. I once drank liquid from a bottle of Sprite thinking of course it was juice and my mom had liquid to feed the plants inside. I remember the disgusting taste in my mouth from that 🤣. And my mom's ear infection really gets stronger if it's drafts.
Nice ! There is a rule to not leave any drinks in your glass unfinished when you are leaving home from your guests because you are leaving quarrel/disagreement in the house. To never go outside of the house with the wet hair because you will get the headache. To not look from windows when there is rain and thunder outside and to this day I still don't know why :P Oh the fanny pack I did get a lot of strange looks for it in Canada but I love to wear it . And also don't know where to with all my stuff with out one. Year ago when I was last time in Canada I started to see fanny packs being sold in the stores there so it's just a matter of time until they discover how awesome they are.
I was once on the motorway in the UK - having driven over from Croatia with loads of stuff - and whilst filling up with petrol took a swig from what I thought was a water bottle. It wasn't. Instantly about five times over the limit. The whole cold/propuh obsession is unbelievable, though. My Croatian wife and I now live in Zambia, and she's still obsessed about having the children in jumpers, always wearing their slippers, etc. even if it never drops below 25 degrees.
Sarah jako ste simpatični i u pravu ste da smo pogotovo mi Dalmatinci jako osjetljivi ako se kaže voda a ne more....Kod nas se kaže more...Inače jako dobro govorite hrvatski.....Još kad bi čuli naša sva narječja i dijalekte......Pozdrav.
if only there were less wars, i thought that was all in the past... just because of some leaders had the idea... the people themselves know were all similar and brothers
Actually in many mediterranean countries this is also seen. The reason is that outside can be really hot. With a sudden change in temperature it can be a problem for the muscles in long run. for ilustration : can you wash a hot car engine? This is explanation for draft.
I laughed so hard! Also, I hate those folklore superstitious stuff (e.g. wood knocking against jinx, black cat crossing, children robes left at night on clothes dryer...), but your videos are great! Oh yeah, and baba & dida are making soup litteraly every day. There has to be a soup plate every lunch! You've got great family! God bless!
@@jebojahoo Exactly, my point the same! Baba set the foundation, ćaća build it up, and now I teach others the same! Let the Power of the Soup spread all around the world. You will be asimilated. Resistance is futile!
I laughed the whole time. I totally relate. How about cloves of garlic placed strategically around the house, in the mailbox etc. the cold air, omg, my mother in law hated our ceiling fans or the klima. No ice in drinks, pepper is not good for stomach. Be sure to Turn off water heater. Pour coffee grinds in toilet not the sink. Shut the window blinds before leaving room. Joj!!
Oh my God, I never imagined that Croatia and Azerbaijan have lots in commons..draft made me laugh 😂😂😂we also believe that, it can make u sick even in the summer :) keep shooting these kind of videos.. have a good day

These were so true! Another one, not sure if it is just my family, is to leave through the same door that you entered from. It is said you'll have bad luck if you leave through a different door.

This was so funny and accurate! My husband is from Serbia and i’m from Holland. I recognize all the ‘don’ts’ 🤣 He was laughing too!
Indeed all people of Balkans will laugh on this because it's of course all funny but our elders beleved in those cures and some where sometimes really effective...especially "rakija" 😂🤣😅😊
All things you mentioned stands in Serbia also.
@@damirglavas7940 well rakija really IS a medicine!
Yes, the same habbits are happen to be exactly the same all around former Yugoslavia. Same in Bosnia, Serbia and Croatia. The video is authentic.

Not just unlabelled bottles, also plastic containers. "Is that ice cream or punjena paprika in the freezer?" 😅 Also, I think you missed a big one: don't go out with wet hair! 😂
My mother in law and I got into an argument about the wet hair. 😉. Just easier to dry the hair than argue.
Oh yes for wet hair! That’s a big no-no in my family too.
or cookies containers lmafo
Wet hair is deadly.
Omg don't even go their with wet hair..i wouldn't dare go out w wet hair not unless i wanted 2 hear my beloved mother's cussings lol ohhh n the 100 reasons why u shouldn't go out w wet hair! 😂😂
We have the same 'rules' in Poland too! It looks like this killing drafts are running through this part of Europe 🇵🇱 🇭🇷 😉

no no.. its about slavic beliefs.. we carry legacy of our ancestors!
😂😂😂😂👋👋
Good one.....
Many similarities in Romania, especially the public enemy #1: the draft

A japanese person that eats too much? Does that even exists? XD Kidding. I always thought japanese people are very moderate when it came to eating.
great stuff 💯
Absolutely! Among other magic properties, rakija is excellent digestif.
😂😂😂😂 so true … also you can’t go out with wet hair because you will feel the consequences when you get old or your mouth will get ‘twisted’ 😂
You're laughing, but take a look at Sylvester Stallone!
Haha this is so true! I was sitting on some steps at Jelacic Square in Zagreb and an old lady yelled at me that my ovaries would freeze!!

Hahah! Great video. Especially the part about the draft 😂And it is 100% the same in Serbia
Eto barem se u tome slažemo ?!
Sve ovo je isto i u Srbiji. Jedna razlika ne postoji.
Jel i vi 'mrknete' rakiju!? Umro sam od smijeha kad je dida rekao, 'mrkni' travaricu!
kod nas političari iskaču iz paštete, a kod vas iz frižidera 😅
Jako si simpaticna, super smijesan video! Placem od smijeha!
I spent a lot of time in Hungary and Russia, and loved this video!!!! Eastern Europe is really the best.
if only there were less wars, i thought that was all in the past... just because of some leaders had the idea... the people themselves know were all similar and brothers
One of the few video's of Croatia i've and liked. Great work.
Epic content. Well done! And much appreciated
I am now starting to rethink a visit to Croatia....chuckle
Dont ever ever say thank you when someone offers you a medicine in Croatia. It wont work.😜
Hilarious! Thanks for sharing. Your Croatian sounds fantastic! Will be there in Dubrovnik in few days. Can't wait!
We have a saying in our family; translates to the context of sitting on cold surfaces directly: 'Bricks can kill'
Hi Sara very nice explain Croatian language 👍👍
Thanks so much!
Actually in many mediterranean countries this is also seen. The reason is that outside can be really hot. With a sudden change in temperature it can be a problem for the muscles in long run. for ilustration : can you wash a hot car engine? This is explanation for draft.
What fun tips, thank you!
I laughed so hard!
Also, I hate those folklore superstitious stuff (e.g. wood knocking against jinx, black cat crossing, children robes left at night on clothes dryer...), but your videos are great!
Oh yeah, and baba & dida are making soup litteraly every day.
There has to be a soup plate every lunch!
You've got great family!
God bless!
It is not *Lunch* without soup.
@@jebojahoo
Exactly, my point the same!
Baba set the foundation, ćaća build it up, and now I teach others the same!
Let the Power of the Soup spread all around the world.
You will be asimilated.
Resistance is futile!
If you don't eat soup or stew at least once a day, I will have to personally revoke your Balkan Club membership. You've been warned 😉
@@SB-gm9yx I'd signed that every day! 👊🤣
P. S. Livaaaaajaaaa 👏👏👍😊
Sve na mesto je rekao tvoj deda. Pozdrav od makedonca u dijaspori.
😂😂 the best is propuh ( promaja ) će me ubiti 😂😂 Very very true…. Thank you Sara ..👍 Made my day ..😂😂😂
Odlican video Sara. Moja baka je mene ucila o propuhu i sjedenju na hladnoj zemlji.
I laughed the whole time. I totally relate. How about cloves of garlic placed strategically around the house, in the mailbox etc. the cold air, omg, my mother in law hated our ceiling fans or the klima. No ice in drinks, pepper is not good for stomach. Be sure to Turn off water heater. Pour coffee grinds in toilet not the sink. Shut the window blinds before leaving room. Joj!!
Hey guys thanks for this, I am filipino with Croatian husband...Im watching your video from Philippines
Oh my God, I never imagined that Croatia and Azerbaijan have lots in commons..draft made me laugh 😂😂😂we also believe that, it can make u sick even in the summer :) keep shooting these kind of videos.. have a good day
greetings to you there in Azerbaijan, you have the most beautiful woman in the world, I simply adore Efendi! 😍😍😍
@@jurejuric1439 thank you :) Your Albina is gorgeous too..
@@5566letslearnEnglish Albina is a fellow citizen of mine, she is beautiful, but, Eefendi is something more beautiful and sweetest I have ever seen in my life... Oriental and unusually beautiful woman! 🙌😊 😁😍
@@jurejuric1439 Ajde smiri doživljaj! Ne bi da nisi nikad vidija lipu curu, bar u Splitu ima ljepotica, uvik je bilo i bit će. I Efendi i Albina su prelijepe i točka.
@@adriaticdream9742 aj smiri doživljaje ti! o ukusima se ne raspravlja.... a u Splitu neš vidit orijentalnu curu, jer ih nema... ako nisu furešte...
Prekrasan Video bas ste porodica za dusu eto bok i svima i svako dobro od srca 🙏🐞🤍🌼
Pozdrav Sarah and Ivan that's funny.♥️
These were so true! Another one, not sure if it is just my family, is to leave through the same door that you entered from. It is said you'll have bad luck if you leave through a different door.
