Vukojebina is so epic it also has a synonym - pripizdina. And if it is a really really remote and small pripizdina, it can also be called a tripizdina. The same escalation as from "u pizdu materinu" to "u 3 pizde materine" The way Croatians use slang and puns with an already epic language is something else.

Oh, yes, "pizda" is everywhere and it gets appended to many a word in Croatian. One of my favourites is "strmopizditi (se)" which means to fall down (rather heavily) and possibly hurt yourself. It comes from the word "strmo" which is steep and, well, pizda :) With regards to pripizdina, if you really want to be creative you can go with "pripizdina gornja" (or upper pripizdina) or "donja" (which would be lower pripizdina) or even lijeva or desna (left or right pripizdina) since many of our villages have one of these locational adjectives in their names. :) The more you add the bigger the pripizdina gets :D

@@PaulBradbury the word "jebivjetar" is so common in croatian language that we actually use english translation of the word as a polite way to say it in "formal" situations (such as bussiness meetings)...we just slip it in while talking in croatian. e.g. somebody screwed something up in work our boss asking who screwed up would say: "ko je windf***r koji je to napravio?" english swearing is not even swearing to us so its ok to use english translation of the words during conversation

Being Polish I could understand easily what each word means before you explained it. It seems though croatian is geographically more distant to polish it is more similar than our neighboring slavic languages. Signature in polish is 'podpis' for example. As for vukojebina (a lovely word indeed!) in polish we would call such a place 'zadupie' (lit. a place behind one's ass) or say that 'dogs bark with their asses' there.

I, too, have felt many times that number 3 is something that's really missing in other languages. I find equivalent expressions in other languages like German's „am Arsch der Welt” ("at the ass of the world") or English's "bumfuck" simply don't compare. Of course, "vukojebina" boasts the same colorful language that helps channel a speaker's emotion. However, it also features the wild (and potentially dangerous) inhabitants of a place that, if we EVER stray from the path, fairy tales warned will eat us which is a primal fear. It tells us this is their territory because it's where they are comfortable doing it. And since wolves announce themselves with howling the imagination is left hanging, trying to imagine the paradoxically eerie soundscape of a wild predator "going wild." It's *chef's kiss*. It just screams "I shouldn't be here!" on so many levels. 😂 (Will this post be flagged for approval due to language? Probably. But I'm merely quoting the words for educational purposes. 😉)

And i can recall some times when my boss told me to talk with less accent because not everyone can understand me (specialy because im talking with Croatian-Swabian accent).

Vukojebina radodajka doesn't really make sense, unless you're trying to say that the place (vukojebina) is very giving. If you wanted to say that it's a loose woman from the middle of nowhere, then that would be "radodajka iz vukojebine".

@@apscoradiales sačekuša is actually very widely used and has been used for a long time, and its a synonym for ambush (zasjeda). Basically it comes from the word "sačekati" (to wait). Meaning you wait on someone and you jump them. The thing is that the word "zasjeda" is a more formal way of saying ambush. Im overcomplicating this I know. To put it shortly, its the equivalent of BBC writing that, idk "Man got jumped by two masked gunmen" whereas the more literary way of saying it would be "Man ambushed by two gunmen". Difference being between the two is that sačekuša, is just like an ambush. Timed and planned. Being "jumped" isnt (i think at least) Rodilja however managed to confuse the hell out of me even as a native speaker lol The only definition I could find is that a rodilja is a woman that is able to give birth, or gives birth often. Then you have porodilja which is a woman about to give birth or has recently given birth.

Yeah but you wont hear that Ajme meni in all places in Croatia, youll hear that mostly in Dalmacija. POTPIS if you only knew the derivation of the word uh. It can be also potpisnik 1. name and surname written in your own hand [handwritten signature] 2. the text below what [signature under the picture text under the photo in the newspaper Pot like pod (below,floor, under, beneath, below) then you have ispod beneath below something pis from pisati write writing etc etc. Uh i dont even know what im writing now😅 Vukojebina (wolf fuck place) lol Girl from Newcastle at Friday night lol

@@PaulBradbury well known saying but you won't hear that in more than half of Croatia. I really don't know when did I hear it last time. Instead of "ajme meni" you will hear more often "auu jebote" "au pičku materinu" "majko mila" "ajme majko" "nemoj srat" "ajme" "a joj" etc etc

and no pomalo ?

Vukojebina means place outside of society and culture. Place where animals rule like for example wolfs or humans that act as animals. Wolves doing romantic things is to polite. Vukojebina radodajka is not correct way to combine those two, it has to change into ''vukojebačka radodajka''.

Yes, but I was born a polite Englishman... Vukojebina radodajka - yes I know but it was my attempt at humour with the Newcastle thing, and I didn't want to overcomplicate it.
