BosanskiHi in Bosnian
ćao
ćao is the Bosnian word for hi / bye (casual).
How it's used
Casual, used for both hello and goodbye. From Italian 'ciao'.
From the lesson: Greetings
Walking into a room and not greeting everyone individually is genuinely noticed, so you greet by the time of day: dobro jutro in the morning, dobar dan through the afternoon, dobro veče in the evening. Getting the time-of-day greeting right with your nana earns you instant points.
