BosanskiOr in Bosnian
ili
ili is the Bosnian word for or.
How it's used
'ili' = or. 'Kahva ili čaj?' = coffee or tea? You met 'gorka ili slatka'.
From the lesson: Coffee Ritual
Bosnian kahva isn't a caffeine delivery system, it's a two-hour institution. Rushing your fildžan is like leaving a wedding after the appetizer. When nana says 'polako', she means the coffee, the conversation, and life in general.
