bujrum

Level 4

Bujrum is a warm invitation, said when handing something over, letting someone go first or offering a seat.

How It Works

The word bujrum works in many small moments.

MomentExample
handing something overBujrum, evo kafe.
inviting someone inBujrum, uđi.
offering a seatBujrum, sjedni.
inviting to eat or drinkBujrum na kafu!

The word does not change for ti or vi. The words around it do: uđi to one friend, uđite to a guest or several people.

A guest often answers with hvala. In a formal letter or a shop with a stranger, izvolite is the safer word. Bujrum is warm and a bit informal, and many speakers use it every day.
