Slovenian Vocab About Hobbies

Hobbies are called “Hobi” in the Slovenian language.

A few days back, I visited Slovenia for work and stayed in the capital of Slovenia, Ljubljana city.

The weather in Slovenia was very cool. I was having informal conversations with some groups of Slovenian people and some people from other countries as well. We were having fun and then they started talking about Slovenian hobbies.

One of the natives asked me about hobbies in Slovenian and I went blank because I had no idea what to say. Awkward!

So I made a list of Slovenian hobbies. And then after that, I did some research on the department of sports and other places to learn more about the hobbies Slovenians love. I managed to ascertain that the most popular hobbies are reading books, horse riding, baking, gardening, singing, games, and shopping.
