Od jutarnje kafe do sikteruše (Coffee related phrases)

as usual here my friend so today

we wanted to talk about different coffee types and their names it's so funny

for me that you have specific names for coffees and I mean depends on

their timing. Also some common and uncommon phrases that are made out of

coffee. So Nikola, do you drink coffee?

Every day I drink coffee.

Now you drink coffee.

Enjoy. Thank you.

Coffee is very important for me and for all people in Serbia.

How do you like this?

Home coffee, homemade coffee.

But it's something that everyone drink at home.

It's the most popular.

So which ones do you use?

The first phrase that I found is Nije za svaka kafa sa šlagom.

I haven't heard that one specifically, but it makes sense.

Yeah, so that means, Nije za svakok, not for everyone.

The coffee with whipped cream.

Sa slagom. Yeah.

So here svakok actually means everyone, right?

But there's something missing.

Yeah, not for everyone.

Yeah, there is something.

svako is everyone or each one depending on the context and it's in acquisitive

here yeah i mean is there any hidden uh ludi or čovek nez as

well svakok ah no it stands alone because svako me is

a noun type word it's not every something it's just every one yeah you

know so it stands alone what i was confused about this is svakok kafa

or svakok and then kafa so i was not sure how to combine this

svakok because to me if there's og there has to be a noun afterwards

that would go together you know with it yeah yeah maybe the better option

would be because og ending uh is common ending for adjectives yeah

but in spoken serbian and that's why it looks like an adjective yeah type

but in spoken serbian this usually gets mixed up but that's the meaning not

for everyone every person yeah so that means something fancy or indulgent isn't suited

to everyone's taste yeah it's definitely for both of us i guess we like

black coffee yeah some people do put milk in turkish coffee and whipped

cream i never did that i don't know how i couldn't imagine those two

one of my favorites in this list is uh the second one um

what is it for not for my girlfriend um uh she's

not bitter who's bitter but necessary maybe my brother but would you say it

to him like this is how kafa no no no no it sounds romantic

to me somehow that's why yeah it's it is romantic some like um some

unresolved issues there in romance that that's the way i see it yeah so

if you have a little bit of fight maybe you can use yeah exactly

exactly and the third one i first heard this because i love watching

advertisements on youtube in serbian because it gives you the context it's easy to

repeat uh i think grand kafka advertisement it was and the kitchen was flooded

but they were still having their coffee in peace so piti kafu namiru this

is so common some of the popular kafu namiru and stuff like that because

the moment with your coffee in the morning especially but like throughout the day

whatever we drink a lot of coffee so two three coffees um is like

very special moment so but everything else is not important in the advertisement the

wife was saying it in a bit teasing way like okay we've got a

huge problem here going on but don't worry have your coffee in peace like

yeah yeah yeah it's like nothing else matters maybe is if the woman wasn't

drinking coffee she would understand she was both of them were enjoying actually and

but she was also saying yeah this is your right i shouldn't be complaining

right now pt coffee exactly there's more important stuff yeah and i

want to add something to the next one and i want to ask you

where do you think this came from spashmi so ukafu uh it's

very common to put like uh people mix up sugar and salt right when

you cook turkish coffee i don't know in here we put you can put

sugar in the water before putting coffee or some people put after and they

mix up sugar and salt and put salt instead of sugar yeah that's very

common like i mean not very but it happens it happens because it's salt

and sugar like uh jars are mostly next to each other in the kitchen

right yeah but this is used uh to say like you're ruining my moments

like my enjoyable um time right now see bash me so yeah so the

moment someone is making coffee for you and you expect the cup you're like

looking forward for that and you get a coffee which is salty ruined everything

entire day can be ruined with that so it's it's not nice yeah The

thing that I wanted to add, in Turkish culture, we do put salt deliberately

in coffee only in one event, which is when the groom and his family

come to the bride's family to ask for the bride.

The bride puts the guy and the groom to a test and puts a

lot of salt.

That makes sense.

And the guy needs to drink it as if it's just a normal coffee

and is not supposed to have any weird face, you know.

So that shows that he's going to be a partner for life for her.

Yeah, that makes sense.

Another one is, I think, a little bit more romantic again.

Bez kafe, kao bez duše.

Yeah, I agree.

It's a little bit more poetic, isn't it?

um but as as i said it's very important so i don't know if

you don't drink coffee if you pass entire day without drinking like a morning

coffee

people feel like something's wrong something's off so this makes sense

yeah cow best douche is like like without a soul like that shows how

much uh coffee is appreciated and how meaningful it is

right and i like the next one it's a about highlighting differences in personalities

or in energy levels i think i will use it more for energy levels

so tc we should try yes i'm coffee you're more tea i'm more coffee

or i'm coffee um yeah there's people of course that don't drink coffee and

drink tea more tea is not as popular as in some countries

here here if you drink tea is usually for um medical reasons you have

stomach ache sore throat and stuff like that but coffee coffee is for

like drinking for enjoying it yeah even though you like you enjoy coffee to

have your peaceful moment but still this sentence to me sounds like coffee is

more energetic than tea right yeah yeah yeah yeah makes sense yeah uh the

tea we drink here is more almost like mint tea um chamomile tea which

is relaxing and the most famous phrase of course idem na kafo right in

the monocuff let's go for a coffee which uh of course as everywhere is

not only a invitation for a coffee but for

going out uh having a chat seeing friends it's just a um tool you

use to meet friends i guess and people do that everywhere of course but

in serbia it's so common people go for i had students tell me they're

surprised that people go after work for a coffee with their colleagues for example

or with friends while in some other countries they only go like on weekends

in serbia you go every day if you go out and in the middle

of the day 12 1 p.m people in the middle of the work time

go out for coffee in the coffee shop so it's very common that's very

common also using it for not drinking coffee is also funny to me like

they go out uh have tea but they say yeah yeah that's also yeah

yeah so that is an example how coffee is is so important how it

shapes the everyday life yeah that's really nice and um you

know it's unhealthy but uh coffee and cigarettes are like unfortunately yeah a morning

routine for many serbians for many i don't smoke but i imagine that it

goes very well uh there's a lot of smokers in serbia which um i

i don't like as i said but yeah it's part again of the daily

breakfast coffee cigarette but this phrase is used to refer to things that go

perfectly together like coffee is cigarette yes have you ever used this

or have you ever heard this someone using you uh i think i heard

it yes um i i never used it i don't

smoke so yeah but my parents while they were smoking uh they always if

they drink coffee they always had a cigarette we did it i see it

cannot be without it but now they don't smoke anymore and they still drink

off yeah that was that was a good thing they did so as

you said there are a lot of coffee times during the day so yeah

the first coffee is for waking up the second for enjoying yeah people can

say this um it's not as common but sure uh it makes sense because

the first coffee you drink is like a lot of ritual and then as

i said people can drink two or three coffees per day maybe even more

some people um and i had students tell me like wow how is it

possible you drink coffee after 6 p.m and sleep here yeah here

it's normal people go for out for a coffee at 8 p.m maybe even

9 p.m um of course it couldn't be that good for you of course

yeah but um you can drink coffee here at 9 p.m and still go

to sleep perfectly yes i guess your body adapts to it my body is

definitely adapted to this i can easily sleep after having coffee after dinner which

is a shock to many of my friends actually yeah and i know this

is not very common but

I wish we had this in Turkish I don't think we have it Kafe

piyes Sudbinu citas You drink coffee and read faith because

you can read someone's faith from their cup of

coffee that's been flipped over Exactly This is very common still in Turkey In

Serbia I don't see it everywhere I mean, at home maybe, right?

But you don't have these special cafes.

Do you have special cafes in Turkey?

Yeah. And literally there are these people that you pay to have the, you

know,

well, faith reading.

And it's still so common.

And depending on the neighborhood, there are huge prices for that.

Wow. Okay. It's not as huge here.

I think it's slowly Dying away that you know So like Older generations

might do it More than the new one yeah but i remember like uh

when i was little like um it's not every time but like our neighbor

comes to my grandma and they talk and at the end they flipped and

flipped the coffee cups and read it yeah yeah i think it's just a

part of game but some people yeah it's good yeah it's interesting yeah and

there are types of coffee i think uh in our earlier episodes we covered

them but it's always nice to remember them so depends on the region obviously

you might be more familiar with them or less but

there is Razgalica the first morning coffee right?

Yes I'm not sure if I heard this I think I heard this somewhere

but Razgaliti the verb means like to make a lot of noise to become

more more energetic so that makes sense I see the more

frequent one is the next one Jutarnia coffee morning coffee yeah and that's

mostly like uh drunk alone or with your partner right you don't go out

for that you or do you no you drink at home before work usually

i think depends on your work but my parents always did it at home

before work and then the second one for enjoyment so

razgovorati is the have conversation right yes you can

notice that all the men don't the next two yeah um yeah razgovorusham to

to with a coffee drink to have a chat with someone

and should kusha should kusha i never heard but it's probably like some like

from like local uh dialect or you know is there any verb that

starts with should kush kati should kuti no shooter at this to kick i

don't think that's no i can't think of any yeah and the most common

one that everybody would know everybody knows the last one which

is a coffee you make for your guests so at the end of them

you have guests and they have a meal they have cake and at the

end they drink coffee after and at the end and after the coffee they

usually leave so it's called sigterosha because in turkish it has one meaning right

which is not so polite yeah but in serbian we say i think you

said in serbian it's softer meaning yeah i i mean you guys easily use

it uh even for coffee which is not possible in turkish yeah it's not

we don't use it so like frequently but sigter is usually used to like

chew away someone you know it's not that hard yeah it's like mrs right

yeah exactly like mrs or mrs um so you sikteros is coffee you make

for your guests to give them a clue that it's time to leave or

or in jokingly way like if you make the that coffee it's the last

coffee last thing they have it's called Sikterush but would you say it like

you you are my guest and I like at 11 p.m.

I'm bringing the coffee would you ask like yeah if it's a joke

in a joking way of course if you if you're familiar with the person

of course if not yeah or would I say as a host oh oh

we su sick teruše no you wouldn't admit it i host wouldn't admit it

so but guests would know guests would know of course yeah so

if you're a guest and you stayed a while and in the

host says you know it's uh after that it's probably time to leave yeah

but it you know it depends on the context obviously obviously okay thank you

so much i think this was uh quite useful to have so many phrases

around coffee and we will be adding them to our instagram and on our

youtube so make sure you subscribe and follow everyone
