BosanskiDad in Bosnian
tata
tata is the Bosnian word for dad.
How it's used
'otac' = father (formal); tata is everyday.
From the lesson: Family
The extended family vocabulary is where Bosnian gets famously precise: your mother's brother (daidža), father's brother (amidža), and aunt by marriage (strina) all have different words. Nana and dedo come first because they're the reason most of us are learning.
