prosim / hvala

Polite Requests and Thanks

Level 1

Prosim accompanies a request or means You're welcome in response to thanks.

How It Works

Prosim accompanies a request or means You're welcome in response to thanks. Hvala expresses thanks. Please does not itself supply an imperative or change the required noun case.

A café order Kavo, prosim is a conventional shortened request: kavo is accusative. A full instruction uses a verb, as in Prosim, počakajte. Hvala za pomoč shows za with an accusative object expressing what the thanks concern.
