How are you, nana? in Bosnian

kako si, nano?
phraseTaught in: Family & Greetings

kako si, nano? is how you say how are you, nana? in Bosnian.

How it's used

First taste of the vocative: nana becomes 'nano' when you're speaking TO her.

From the lesson: Calling Nana

The nana phone call has rituals: she will ask if you're eating enough (always), tell you you've lost weight (regardless of reality), and distribute pozdravi to every family member on both continents. This lesson is the emotional heart of Unit 1, finish it and you can open and close tonight's call with the real ritual lines. Nana will carry the middle, gladly, and saying the openings and goodbyes in Bosnian is already a big deal. Note: 'Kako si, nano?' is just the example, swap nano for anyone you love (mama, tata, tetka, dedo). Everything in this lesson works for the whole family, not only nana.
