When to use it

You can use 'Bok' when greeting friends or acquaintances in a casual setting. It is suitable for both meeting someone for the first time or when you see someone you know. It is widely used among younger people and in informal situations.

Say it out loud, get corrected

Reading it is not the same as saying it. Practice "Hello" and thousands more with an AI coach that listens.

Common mistake
Some learners may use 'Bok' in very formal situations where 'Pozdrav' or 'Dobar dan' would be more appropriate.
