prigoda

1. (special event) occasion
   Obukao je odelo za tu prigodu. — He wore a suit for the occasion.
   Ovaj poklon je savršen za svaku prigodu. — This gift is perfect for any occasion.
2. Croat. (favourable moment) opportunity; chance
   Nije imao prigodu da je upozna. — He didn't have a chance to meet her.

In Serbia prigoda means practically only 'occasion' (svečana prigoda, ovom prigodom, prigodan poklon); in the sense 'opportunity, chance' the word is characteristic of Croatian usage — in Serbia people say prilika.
