For in Bosnian

za
prepositionTaught in: Nana's Kitchen

za is the Bosnian word for for / at.

How it's used

Little word, many jobs: 'za tebe' (for you), 'za sofru' (at the table). Learn it early, it's everywhere.

From the lesson: At the Table: the Little Things

In a Bosnian home you don't sit at a table, you sit za sofru: the whole laid spread, the good stolnjak, and everyone leaning in.
