* you have 17 consonants and 2 vowels in your last name
* your mother/nena won't accept the fact that you're not hungry
* you have "pita" for dinner at least 4 days a week
* you have "sarma" for dinner the remaining 3 days
* a loaf of bread is eaten for lunch every day
* you're 6 and your father sends you out to buy him "Drina" and "Sarajevsko"

* when your nena insists you eat something with "kasika" at least once a week
* you chop up some onions and then decide what to cook for dinner
