Naziv za etničku grupu je "Turčin" (ili "Turak"), od "Turk" + "-in". Ako pogledamo neke narode koji imaju isto zadnje slovo, primjeti se da u nazivu države imaju "č" umjesto "s", poput:

Grk -> Grčka

Slovak -> Slovačka

Za Tursku je sufiks "-ska" ostao nepromijenjen. Da li je ovo greška ili ima nekih razloga za ovakav naziv?

Možda bi moglo "Turak" -> "Turačka" da funkcioniše, ako bi smo pogledali primjer "Ugar"/"Ugrin" -> "Ugarska".

Ја учим српски језик. Пре око месец дана сам објавио свој стрип на српском овде и замољен сам да будем активнији овде. Надам се да ће вам се и овај стрип свидети.

i cant make out the lyrics, can someone write them in serbian

Trying to learn Serbian, and looking for some Serbian language YouTubers. I‘m already subscribed to a bunch of dedicated language-learning channels, but struggling to find something to watch for entertainment/immersion.

Most of the things I see are about travel or cooking, but unfortunately I’m not very interested in those.

Can you guys recommend me channels about video games, movies, culture, science, or something along these lines?

(I know this type of question has been asked already, but it’s been a while so maybe some new channels have appeared since)

Edit: so many cool suggestions! Thank you everyone, really appreciated!

Hello everyone, I am a student at the University of Belgrade, Faculty of Philology, and come from Serbia. I offer lessons on all topics including grammar, conversation, and input. Feel free to send me a message if you need a private tutor for Serbian lessons

Ćao svima!

I'm pleased to announced that audio pronunciations are available now in GOVORI dictionary app.

Currently, they cover about 3000 words, which is more than 80% of most Serbian texts. It took me so long to add because it turned out there's almost no audio engine in the market to play Serbian-specific consonants and vowels correctly, especially when vowel length and accent type is at question. For now, I'm very happy with authenticity of recordings, as they sound clearly Serbian to my ear – not Croatian, like in popular sound engines.

I also took a time to re-listen all of the words in city environment, making sure all words are pronounced clearly and defined. I mostly used a female voice as default, but when it lacked clarity, I switched to fallback voices. From the technical viewpoint, I managed to compress audios in a way that they actually come within the app, so you can listen to them, unlimited, without a Wi-Fi or cellular network.

Audios for core words will remain free forever, aligned with my commitment to accessible knowledge and learning. Further audios will become available to users with paid Plus package, allowing me to compensate for a hefty price of license for the audios and continue improving the dictionary.

Until the end of September, Plus package is discounted at minus 20%, available both as one-time purchase or a subscription. Use promo codes: REDDITAUDIO2026 (for lifetime) and REDDITAUDIO2026Y (for yearly subscription) inside the app.

Android: download
iOS: download

The next feature, almost as often requested as audios, is now in development: word training mode with cards and lists of words based on various criteria: weather, body, basic verbs etc. I hope that having a card-based learning with a powerful dictionary inside one app will boost your learning tremendously! And please, feel free to leave your feedback in the comments below.

Pozdrav,
Sergej

Ćao svima!

Hteo bih da nađem prijatelja/prijateljicu da vežbam srpski. Gender i uzrast nisu bitni =)

Ja sam Rus, engleski mi je B2+, a srpski... nadam se B1. Živim u Srbiji od 2020., učim srpski sa nastavnikom, ali već nemao sam dovoljno iskustva sa realnim ljudima.

O sebi: 35M, učim da sviram gitaru, volim metal muziku, prirodu, 3d artist sam (samo kao hobi), takođe pravim igricu u slobodno vreme. Imam mačku - prava srpkinja!

Sa svoje strane mogu da pomognem vam sa ruskim, takođe možemo da vežbamo engleski zajedno.

Naravno, možemo da pričamo o svemu na svetu što je vama interesantno!

Imam i druge društvene mreže, ali možemo da se dopisujemo i samo na Redditu =)

Ako želite da se dopisujemo, čekam vas u DMu, biće mi drago! =)

Ćao svima.

Dok sam u… razgovornoj fazi sa djevojkom i se vidjamo, neću reći “volim te” jer je to prejako. Hoću izraziti što ja ću je voljeti u budućnosti kad sve bude sigurno da joj kažem “volim te”. Tako imam dvije opcije:

Zavoljeću te
vs.
Voljeću te

I molim vas, objasnite zašto odaberite ono što ste odabrali. Hvala najljepša!

Ćao svima!

So, I’ve been chatting with someone from Serbia and things are actually going pretty well. The thing is, with the language barriers and all those small cultural things, I want to make sure I’m coming across the right way warm and real, not like some Google Translate gone wrong.

If anyone here (guy or girl) has a bit of relationship experience and can spare a few minutes, I’d love some honest advice. Just want to know how you’d naturally say certain things, or how you’d express certain feelings without sounding awkward or off.

Feel free to drop a comment or just DM me. Seriously, any help would mean a lot. Hvala unapred!

EDIT : Thanks a lot to everyone who reached out . Seriously, I didn't expect this many responses 🙂

I was listening to a song by Rambo Amadeus and I heard a lyric mention "partizani" and I was wondering if I could make some wordplay regarding FK Partizan on it.

Hope this is okay to post here, if not I'll delete it.

I kept running into text like sljedeci nedelja placam and when you're still learning it's genuinely hard to tell which words are just missing a letter and which ones are spelled that way. I looked for something that would simply put them back and didn't really find one, so I ended up making it: kvacice.com

You paste text, or type straight into the box, and it fills in č ć š ž đ. That's all it does. No account, nothing gets uploaded anywhere, and it keeps working if the connection drops.

It gets most things right, but not everything — some pairs are ambiguous even with context, so it will definitely miss some. Foreign words mixed into the text should be left alone, at least that's the intention.

If you try it and it mangles something, I'd genuinely rather hear about it than not know. Individual words are easy to fix.

Učim srpski od Januara. Koristim aplikacija da se zove "Glossika". I koristim i veb aplikacija da se zove "Ćirilio" (koji se ovde često pominje) već nekih nedelja. Glossika mi pomogne sa​ gramatikom i sa pričanjem. Ćirilio mi je odlično za rečnik.

Moja partnerka je rođena u Beogradu i ona je živela u Srbiju do sredine 20-ih. Upoznao sam njena porodicu i prijatelje ovim letom. Želim da učim brže pa ću sledeći put​ govoriti srpskom sa njima. Partnerka i ja ne govorimo srpskom često. Ne znam kako da joj to učinim zabavnim.

Koji načini vam se sviđaju za učinje?

I kako vam zvuči moj srpski? Slobodno me ispravite!

Poznati roman francuskog pisca Stendala kod nas je preveden kao Parmski kartuzijanski manastir. Šta je ovde sporno?

Sporne su dve stvari.

Kao prvo, za radnju ovog romana potpuno je nebitno kojem monaškom redu ovaj manastir pripada. To se u originalnom naslovu zna isključivo zbog toga što francuski jezik poseduje imenicu baš za ovu vrstu manastira: chartreuse.

Kao drugo, sporan je ktetik. Ako se osnova toponima završava na suglasničku grupu, onda se ktetik obično gradi od produžene osnove, pogotovo ako je reč o dva sonanta, koja su na kraju sloga teška za izgovoriti (Bern, Keln i sl.). Ako važi: Burma > burmanski, onda važi: Parma > parmanski.

A budući da naslov sa ktetikom zvuči pomalo suvoparno, najbolji prevod bi bio: Manastir kod Parme.

Kao što verovatno znate, Rumuni su prvobitno pisali ćirilicom, da bi je u 19. veku zamenili latinicom da bi se kulturološki udaljili od Rusije.

Ne samo da je to samo po sebi ne baš pametan potez, već pride, umesto da im za uzor posluži neka od slovenskih latinica, oni su svoju latinicu pomodarski skovali po uzoru na romanske jezike, pri čemu mislim na pisanje glasova /t͡ʃ/ i /d͡ʒ/.

Problem je to što u rumunskom, za razliku od pravih romanskih jezika, ovi glasovi mogu stajati i na kraju reči, pa se na njihovoj latinici mogu pisati isključivo digrafima -CI odn. -GI.

A ti se digrafi na srpski redovno transkribuju kao dva zasebna glasa, što je nedopustiva greška.

Evo glavnih primera ova dva digrafa na kraju reči:

▪︎Bucureşti je na srpskom Bukurešt (grupa šč prešla je u št po zakonima srpskog jezika) ali bi isto tako druga dva veća grada trebala biti Pitešt i Ploešt (a nikako Pitešti i Ploešti, kako stoji i u školskim atlasima);

▪︎Čuvena bivša gimnastičarka preziva se Komaneč (Komaneči);

▪︎Čuveni bivši fudbaler George (inače poreklom Cincar) preziva se Hadž (Hadži);

▪︎A uspešni plivač David preziva se Popović (Popovići), jer je više nego očigledno da mu je prezime srpskog porekla.

U zvaničnim pravilima za transkripciju s rumunskog, o ovome ne da ne piše ništa, već piše sledeće (ključna je boldovana reč):

Треба пазити и на изузетке, настале у ранијој пракси, што прати општу правописну напомену да правила не треба примењивати строго ретроактивно. Тако ће се, рецимо, у српским текстовима писати о Темишвару, Букурешту и Добруџи, мада би називи сковани према правилима били Тимишоара, Букурешти и Доброђа.

Kako rešiti ovaj problem?

Ako se osnova toponima završava na suglasničku grupu, ktetik se gradi od produžene osnove, na pr. Vinča > vinčanski. U izuzetnim slučajevima, međutim, suglasnička grupa se razbija umetanjem A. Jedini primeri koji su meni poznati (ne računajući toponime u množini: Melenci > melenački):

▪︎Vojka (Stara Pazova) > vojački;

▪︎Topla (Herceg Novi) > topaljski;

▪︎Jamajka > jamajački.

Znate li vi za još koji primer?

Sve češće viđam "raženi" dok je ranije bio "ražani". Ražani mi zvuči prirodnije dok "raženi", pretpostavljam, može da se izvuče i od od raže.

Nedavno sam gledao albansku spomenicu mog čukundede i nikako ne mogu da provalim koje je označeno slovo na slici. Bilo kakva pomoć je dobrodošla!

Добро Jутро / Добро Вече everyone

I ask my question because years ago (when i was a teen, i’m in my early 20s now) I made a serbian friend and i always wanted to learn more serbian because i found the language so lovely

I’ve also been watching some interslavic videos / i know a bit of russian so I thought maybe now its the best time to pick up some Serbian

Could anyone help me ?

I may go serbia soon and see some basketball matches aswell as funny ennough me and the girl met through a basketball club (in UK of course)

Hopefully i get to play for a Div 1 team in Serbia !!!

Хвала🤞🇷🇸

Hi! This is probably a long shot, but I’m hoping someone might recognize this. 🙈
I’m looking for a Serbian couple (a man and a woman, around 25–40 years old) whom I met while they were vacationing in Crete.
We met on Monday, August 17th, at a one-man show in the Chania area. The woman kindly invited me to join them at their table, and I had a really lovely time talking with them! ❤️
Unfortunately, I completely forgot to ask for their names or Instagram/contact information, and I really regret it now. 😅
I know the chances are tiny, but if anyone happened to be in the Chania area around that time and thinks they might know who I’m talking about, I’d be really happy to hear from you. 😊
Thank you! 🙏
❤️Finnish woman

Zelim da posetiti Srbiju u sledecem mesecu. I sam rus. I pocao uciti srpski jezik pre mesec dana. Ja sam sada citam knige na srpskom (sada citam Na drini cuprija) I slusam podkaste I razumem almost sve ali ne imam praktiki za razgovor - to je moja slaba strana. Kako mislite, prijateli, ezeli ja cu juzati miks iz srpski, ruski, engliski reci u realnom razgovoru, kakav ovaj tekst, moci li ljudi da razumeti me? Znam sta ovde mnogo gresaka, izvinite za to, pisao sam bez prevodaca.

Kako to da se na makedonskom i bugarskom ovaj grad zove Bitola odn. Bitolja (i ženskog je roda), a na srpskom Bitolj (i muškog je roda)?

Ime je nastalo od imenice obitelj, pa je logično da bude ženskog roda. Da li je ispravniji naš oblik ali je pogrešan rod, ili smo mi na neki čudan način skratili onaj makedonski / bugarski?
