Can't pass parameters to bash script from zsh

Question

My bash script

#!/bin/bash

 main(){
  name=${1:-you}
  echo "One for $name, one for me."
}

 main "@a"

I'm trying to pass the parameters from zsh terminal like this

bash tw_fer.sh Adem

It always returns @a nothing else. How can I print the argument that I've passed?

There is no zsh involved in your code. You just pass to main the string @a, and this is output in the echo statement. What effect would you have expected? — user1934428

Replace "@a" by "$1" for only first parameter or "${@}" for all parameters
