DALMATIAN STATE OF MIND STORY
LOCAL WORDS

URA
an hour, also stands for 1 a.m. and 1 p.m.

ČOVIK
noun
A man, a dear person, a trusted one, someone we’re compassionate about.
An acquaintance who gets us whatever we may need. Every Dalmatian person knows at least one.

FJAKA
noun
A psychophysical condition of a person wanting nothing. Mistaking „fjaka“ for laziness is an easy mistake to make. Unlike the latter, „fjaka“ is a blissful condition of body and mind the whole humankind is searching for. In India, „fjaka“ is attained by decades of meditation and fasting. In Dalmatia, it’s simply a gift from God.

JUŽINA

Rainy weather combined with low air pressure.
Every Dalmatian resident blames „južina“ for their bad mood and lack of concentration. Even the greatest workaholics are unable to think, let alone move, when „južina“ strikes.

BURA

A cold wind blowing away everything in its path including the clouds, making weather sunny.

SUNCE

The Sun.
An absolute staple of Dalmatian lifestyle and, less importantly, the economy through tourism.
