Table manners and traditions
Wait until the host invites you to start. Say "Prijatno!" (enjoy your meal) before eating, and "Živeli!" (cheers) for a toast. Refusing food is hard — hosts will insist, so take "malo" (a little).
Examples
Prijatno!
Enjoy your meal!
Živeli!
Cheers!
Tips
- Coffee after a meal is a gesture of hospitality; turning it down may disappoint your host.
