  1. (in the Ottoman Empire) agha
    Aga je od seljaka tražio deo žetve. — The agha demanded part of the harvest from the peasants.
    U romanu se opisuje život jednog bogatog age. — The novel describes the life of a wealthy agha.
  2. dated ironic master; lord
    Sedi kao aga i čeka da ga služe. — He sits there like a lord, waiting to be served.

The word is mostly found in historical texts and folk literature. Not to be confused with beg, a different Ottoman title; the two overlap only in the loose figurative sense "master, lord".
