This quick image will quench your drink vocabulary and leave you ordering drinks like a local pro.
While "voda" (water) is a universal thirst quencher, let's explore the world of "gazirano piće" (gah-zee-RAH-no pee-cheh), Croatia's term for soft drinks. Some of the popular brands are pronounced as in English.
Craving a citrusy explosion? Ask for "naranča" (nah-RAHN-cha) for orange or "limun" (LEE-mun) for lemon.Prefer your drinks without the bubbles? No problem! Simply say "negazirano" (neh-gah-zee-RAH-no) before "piće" to request a flat drink.
So next time you're at a Croatian cafe, impress your waiter and friends with your newfound vocabulary. Cheers (or "Živjeli" in Croatian) to exploring Croatia like a local!
And tell us, which soft drink would you like to see on the list?
