Intro to South Slavic slang - Slovene
One of the first things you will notice in Slovene slang is the amount of German words! English ones as well, but given its history, German was way more present throughout the lives of Slovenians than English. Those are the words that are not only to be heard from youngsters since they`ve been a part of the language for some time now. Words like ‘cajt’ (German = die Zeit – time), glih (German = gleich, right away, right now), plac (=der Platz – space, place) švicati (g. schwitzen – to sweat), pucati (g. putzen = to clean) are just some of many that you can hear every day.
