Synopsis

The author has collected over a thousand words, idioms and expressions, often unique and humorous, originating from the Herzegovinian city of Mostar and included the explanation of their meaning and/or usage. Many original expressions were inspired by its inhabitants and local situations:

usta k’o Tokića pekara; napet k’o Mujini tregeri; glava k’o Rondo; vodati se k’o Jure i Neda; objesićemo zube o čiviluk; pala muha na međeda; jedan se oteg’o, drugi se proteg’o; taj ti vjetar čorbu hladio; ćafetli; dočekuša; krmeljuša …

… tek su neki od preko hiljadu riječi i izraza – često šaljivih bisera mostarske mudrosti – sakupljenih za ovo izdanje. Ova će knjiga, kao svjedok jednog govora i doba, neke čitaoce podsjetiti, neke nasmijati, a posebno mlađim generacijama u dijaspori, poslužiti kao dodatni izvor informacija o (nesuđenom) rodnom gradu.

This illustrated bilingual collection contains:

• 1000-plus words, idioms and expressions used in Mostar or originated from Mostar
