   Welcome to our company

   Official greeting when welcoming business visitors

   Grammar Note

   добродошли is the plural/polite form of the adjective добродошао ("welcome"). у + accusative shows direction. компанија (feminine) becomes компанију

   O-vo je NA-ša PO-nu-da

   This is our proposal

   Usage

   Used when presenting a business proposal or offer

   Grammar Note

   PO-tre-ban nam je U-go-vor

   We need a contract

   Usage

   Used when requesting a formal contract in business negotiations

   Can we extend the deadline?

   Usage
