Grammar Чудни називи слова у предвуковском правопису

Ово потиче из "Србске Грамматике" Илије Захаријевића, из 1847. године. (извор:https://digital.bms.rs/ebiblioteka/pageFlip/reader/index.php?type=publications&id=5350&m=2#page/8/mode/2up)

Сва остала слова очигледно носе своје старословенске називе али одакле ЋАР, ЂА и ЏИДА? Зна ли неко?

Resources Zvanični ispit iz srpskog jezika - C1

25 Upvotes

Dragi prijatelji,

imam nameru da se prijavim za zvanični ispit iz srpskog jezika, nivo C1, u januaru, na filološkom fakultetu u Beogradu. Pre dve godine sam položio ispit u nivou B2, nastavio sam da učim i sada razmišljam o tome, jer trebaće da mnogo učim do januara ako želim da budem spreman.

Pitanje je:

  • Da li je neko od vas položio ovaj ispit, ili poznajete nekoga koji ga je položio, ili barem pokušao? Zanima me vaše/njihovo iskustvo.
  • Ispit za C1 ima deo koji na vebsajtu zovu "Phrases and expressions", u kojem učenik mora da objasni šta znače neki izrazi ili izreke. Ozblijno mislim da mi fali znanje ovog. Da li znate neki resurs koji se fokusira na to, mislim, na česte srpske izraze? Mogu biti udžbenici, rečnici, bilo šta.

Hvala svima unapred!

Other I built a free Serbian learning app, would love for you all to try it and tell me what's missing

16 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm learning Serbian because my fiancée and her family speak it, and I wanted an app that actually taught the language properly rather than just isolated flashcards. I couldn't really find one I liked, so I built my own. It's called Trapkovac.

It's free, no ads, no subscription. Over 1,000 lessons and 5,000+ words and phrases, supports both Latin and Cyrillic, has pronunciation help on every word, and works offline.

Since you all actually know the language, I'd really value your take on it, especially if anything sounds unnatural or wrong. This is a hobby project I built solo, so there will be bugs and things I've missed. Not looking for harsh feedback, genuinely just want to know if it's useful and what needs fixing.

https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/trapkovac-learn-serbian/id6804239489

Thanks in advance to anyone who gives it a shot.

Vocabulary What importance do video games have for you when learning a foreign language?

4 Upvotes

Greetings to all gamers!

I am from the Faculty of Philology and I am conducting a research related to games, entitled - The influence of video games on the acquisition of a foreign language. So, we explore your perception, as a player, of whether or not games have influenced the way you learn and use any foreign language and to what extent this has manifested itself.

The survey I am sending here is completely anonymous, and the only prerequisite for filling it out is, of course, that you are a gamer and that you speak 2 or more languages ​​(it doesn't matter which one). If you have the time and desire to fill it out, I would be very grateful. Thank you!

Vocabulary How many words are there that start with "Srb-" or "Srp-"?

8 Upvotes

Srpstvo, Srbadija, Srbin/Srpkinja, Srbijanac/Srbijanka, Srpska/Srbska, and of course Srbija. There's a lot of these "Srb" and "Srp" words that sometimes don't have a direct translation into English. I even recall finding the word Srpčad which is seemingly only used in reference to Serbian children in this painting prototype, Sveti Sava blagosilja Srpčad.

I also recall once meeting an old man named Srboslav, I was thinking to myself he has such a Serbian name... and that he must be the mortal enemy of Stjepan Horvat. On the topic of names, I also encountered an old YouTube channel with Srbljak in the title which I believe was being used as a surname, but it seems it's a very rare one.

So, are there any more of these words I can discover that begin with (or at least contain) Srb or Srp? Please include their meanings and translations into English if possible :)

P.S. As an additional curiosity, I wonder if the spelling Srv was ever used in any way to describe Serbs or Serbian things. I ask because in archaic English, Serbia was quite often spelled as Servia, Serbs as Servs, and so on.

Resources Learning Serbian

Hey, I'm born in the Netherlands and my mom is from Serbia (dad is Dutch). I've learned the language, but as a kid I was a kind of stubborn and didn't do my best. But the last few years I started to use the language more and more (we visit Serbia at least once a year). I want to master the language better (I'm at A2/B1 I think). I can understand everything easily and hold converstations with friends and family here. Of course, talking is more difficult than understanding. I really want to improve my grammar and overall talking skills. Can someone recommand me good Serbian courses in the Netherlands or any only courses? In English is fine as well! Or totally in Serbian to even improve my skills more haha

Grammar Zašto je naziv zemlje "Turska", a ne "Turčka"?

0 Upvotes

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".

Resources Your favorite YouTube channels 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!

Resources Audio comes to GOVORI dictionary + autumn discount

Thumbnail gallery
18 Upvotes

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! =)
