| Cultural Insight |
| Becky: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
| Petar: If you’re sure that someone has something, you can use the word нали when asking the question. It will sound like confirmation. Here’s an example. Имаш куче, нали? This literally means “You have a dog, right?” You just add the little word нали after the sentence. It makes the whole sentence sound like a question. |
