Serbian/Slavic Customs

[Serbian Cetnik (šumadinac)]

I found couple of days ago that Serbs that know of this Custom NEVER drink alone:/

You must be drinking with somebody. Never alone.

OK, this was a joke...

 

[Serbian Cetnik (šumadinac)]

no. its serious. Although its an old custom.

Well, how do you call it in Serbian ?

I know for "ПИТИ ПРЕКО РУКУ"
("peetee preko rookoo", meaning "Drinking through arms"),
which, effectively, you cannot do alone.

I'll try to find a picture of it.

JTFers will be surprized to see
it's an old Serbian Custom, when they see it.
Everybody has done that, in his/her Life-time,
not knowing it was an old Serbian Custom.

 

Here's what Serbian "peetee preko rookoo" means:

Great pics

It doesn't have a name since its not an action, but behaviour.

I hope that made sense

Well, it has nothing to do with the pics I posted...

 

Could you just tell me how it is called in Serbian ?

 

[JTFFan]

I would like to know in Serbian Slavic language

[Serbian Cetnik (šumadinac)]

You say as you say in any language " I don't drink alone" Its just Serbs do:P
It's not an action like piti preko ruku or the russian shot drinking. Its just that Serbs dont drink alone:P
