BosanskiNot much in Bosnian

How it's used
Standard reply to 'šta ima?'
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.
