5.1.2 Zadatak 1: David i Emina
📖 Read the dialogue and complete the assignments. David je student u Hrvatskoj u zimskom semestru. Njegova prijateljica Emina i on šetaju po gradu.
Dijalog – čitanje
| David: | Uskoro su zimski praznici! Jako se veselim što je uskoro Božić. |
|---|---|
| Emina: | Ti slaviš Božić? |
| David: | Da, moja obitelj i ja slavimo Božić. A ti? |
| Emina: | Ne, mi ne slavimo Božić. Moja obitelj i ja smo Bošnjaci. Bošnjaci su tradicionalno islamske vjere. |
| David: | A koji se blagdani slave u Bosni i Hercegovini? |
| Emina: | U Bosni i Hercegovini neki ljudi slave blagdane po islamskom kalendaru, neki po gregorijanskom kalendaru, a neki po julijanskom kalendaru. |
| David: | A koji su to blagdani? |
| Emina: | Veliki islamski blagdani po lunarnom kalendaru su Ramazanski bajram i Kurban bajram. Blagdani po gregorijanskom i julijanskom kalendaru su isti, ali se slave u različito vrijeme. Na primjer, Hrvati slave Božić po gregorijanskom kalendaru u decembru (prosincu), a u Srbiji ljudi slave Božić po julijanskom kalendaru u januaru (siječnju). |
| David: | A što su Ramazanski bajram i Kurban bajram? |
| Emina: | Ramazanski bajram je praznik kada se obilježava kraj ramazana. Kurban bajram je veliki blagdan kada ljudi idu u džamiju. Na Kurban bajram djeca često dobiju novac. A koji su blagdani popularni u tvojoj porodici? |
| David: | Moja obitelj i ja, mi slavimo Dan neovisnosti u srpnju (julu) i Dan zahvalnosti u studenom (novembru). Također zajedno slavimo i Božić po gregorijanskom kalendaru. To je veliki obiteljski blagdan. |
| Emina: | A što radite za Novu godinu? |
| David: | Nova godina nije obiteljski blagdan. Ljudi obično idu na odmor, organiziraju zabavu za prijatelje ili idu u grad gledati vatromet, idu na koncert, itd. |
| Emina: | Da, kao i ovdje. Na primjer, u Sarajevu, Mostaru, Dubrovniku, Splitu, Zagrebu, Beogradu ili Podgorici, za Novu godinu se organizira koncert na trgu. Također u gradu je i veliki vatromet za Novu godinu. |

Questions for you:

- Why in the US do we celebrate Noć vještica and in Croatia we have karneval? What is the reason for that? What is the origin of Halloween and Carnival? What does this tell you about the values in each country?
- Did you notice (or do you know) of any other differences between the countries? Why do you think that is – for example, what about Labor Day, its traditions and activities in the US and Croatia on that specific holiday? You might need to Google for more information. What values are promoted in each society when we observe Labor Day specifically?
- Are there any other differences between holidays in the US and Croatia? What about 31.10. and 1.11.? What does this tell you about beliefs and values promoted in each country?
