ZAGREB’S SLANG  Dragi purgeri, if I’m wrong about about any slang term, please correct me :) The slang terms above are used in Slavonia for sure. I’m not sure about Zagreb, but the majority is. The following terms though, aren’t common in Slavonia so I put them under the title “Zagreb’s slang”.

I’ll include both classics and modern music. Hope you will enjoy it :)

Next to every singer/ band, there are a few songs which they are famous for.

Dobro jutro! Good morning!

Za doručak sam jela grčki jogurt. I had greek yoghurt for breakfast.

Mirno - Peaceful

Volim jutra zato što su mirna. I love mornings because they are peaceful.

Rano - Early

Počela sam se buditi rano jer sam htjela imati više vremena za sebe prije nego što odem na posao. I started waking up early because I wanted to have more time for myself before heading off to work.
