glagol dojiti

zašto mame govore "Beba doji" za vreme koje beba jede. Zar nije mama ta koja doji, a beba "se doji"? Ili kad se pita šta beba jede misleći na dohranu ili majčino mleko, mame kažu samo "doji". Ili " beba dok doji je mirna". Da li je gramatički ispravno da "beba doji"?

Сао! Ја учим српски! Дан 1

Данас сам научио:

  1. Сао / здраво

  2. Си / ти

  3. Учим

  4. Дан

  5. побегнем

  6. Кафу

  7. Молим / Хвала

  8. Недеља

  9. Српски језик

  10. Свиђа ми се

  11. Колико си стар

  12. Имам 13 година

  13. Добро

  14. Лепо

  15. Жена

  16. Око

  17. Песма

  18. Време

  19. Срце

  20. Омиљени

P.s.: Исправљам грешку: није čao, већ ћао. Помешао сам латиницу и ћирилицу. Бићу пажљивији. Али хвала свима који су ми ово указали, заиста ценим вашу подршку.

Recommendation: best app to learn Serbian

I have been trying to learn Serbian on and off for a while, but never found a good app to learn words consistently. Through a post on this subreddit I found https://www.cirilio.com/ and it is one of the best language websites that I have tried, for any language. I can wholeheartedly recommend it. It uses 'gamification' methods and will make you repeat words that you forget, so that you will ultimately remember them. I've spoken with the creator of the app, who has been extremely responsive to feedback; it is not some kind of big company running it, but simply a developer in Serbia who enjoys people learning his language. Shoutout to him and a big recommendation for this app - give it a try.

Čudan govor Sremske Mitrovice, Rume i okoline

Da li se samo meni čini ili ova dva grada i njihova okolina imaju naglasak koji se znatno razlikuje od ostatka Vojvodine?

Znam da u Vojvodini ne postoji jedan naglasak, nego svaki region ima neki svoj, ali nekako mi deluje da govor ljudi iz ovog dela Srema ima neke karakteristike koje su značajno drugačije u odnosu na većinu Vojvođana.

Ima li neko slična zapažanja?

Da li vam Mitrovčani, Rumljani i ljudi iz okolnih sela zvuče malo drugačije nego ostali Vojvođani? Da li uvek možete da pogodite odakle su?

I want to improve my mothers tongue

Hi everyone,
my native/heritage language is Serbian. I can speak it fairly well, but I was born and raised in Germany and I’m basically a fully integrated German. Over the years I also learned other languages like English and French, but I’ve noticed that I’m slowly losing my Serbian.

My family and I go back home at least once or twice a year, and I really love my culture. Still, people have started joking a bit about my pronunciation. I don’t take it too personally, but it motivated me to actually improve.

So my question is: how should I learn Serbian properly from my current level? Which books would you recommend? Just to make it clear: I don’t need to learn the language from zero. I can speak it, I understand it, and basic conversations are not a problem. I just sometimes form awkward sentences, use the wrong words, or can’t find the exact word I’m looking for. I also can’t read Cyrillic yet, so that’s something I probably need to work on too.

I’d also appreciate recommendations for Serbian movies, TV shows, YouTubers, TikTokers, podcasts, or anything else that could help me improve naturally. I’m 23, a student near Munich, and I’m interested in combat sports, so maybe if anyone knows Serbian/Balkan content related to MMA, boxing, kickboxing, BJJ, or sports in general, that would be great too.

One more thing: my family is from Sandžak, so I grew up with that dialect. From what I understand, some features of the dialect are different from standard Serbian, and one issue for me is this typical “lj” sound/usage in speech. Sometimes it seems to be used, sometimes not, and it honestly confuses me. I’m not sure what is dialect, what is “wrong,” and what is standard Serbian.

Has anyone here been in a similar situation as a heritage speaker? How would you recommend improving without starting completely from beginner level?
Thanks in advance!

Euro v. Evro

Posto se u vecini zemalja valuta izgovara onako kao sto izgovaraju rec Ervropa.

Npr u nemackoj je Ojro, jer je Ojropa. Engleski je Juro jer je Jurop, i td.

Kod nas se cesto javlja nesigurnost u izgovoru i ljudi plesu oko evra i eura.

Generalno se smatra pravilnim evro jer je Evropa.

Ali je l smatrate mogucem da ce euro postati dominantan u neko skorije vreme iz 'stida' ljudi da pogrese? Ili ce postati zamenljivo, posto tako najcesce jezik funkcionise?

Ili (najmanje verovatno) pocnemo da nazivamo Evropu Europom?

Pitam iz dosade posto dosta cesce vidjam Euro od Evra ovde po reditu.

I want a Serbian pen pal.

Pardon me if this isn't supposed to go here. I've only ever lurked on reddit. 4 years ago or so I became Instagram mutuals with a guy around my age from Serbia. I can't remember which part. We used to talk quite often and he would tell me about many things, school, his family, some of the culture. I deleted Instagram during this time period and we began to email, I was writing a significant amount of poetry at the time and would send it to him for him to look at, and similarly he would send me writing projects, or things he was working on in school.

For some reason this has made me so interested in Serbia, I do not talk to him anymore but I would love to learn the language and hopefully soon go there, (Belgrade or Lopatnica?)

It seems like there are a few people in this sub who are learning the language, but I'm wondering if anyone who is fluent and lives there might want to be a pen pal? Or email with me? I would love to learn the language, and anything else culture wise. I can give a little more info about myself if anyone is interested.

Thank you. Sorry about any grammar mistakes I am tired.

Online disc server za druženje

Server za online druženje

Ćao svima 🙂

Nadam se da ne remetim pravila servera i da je okej da ostavim ovo ovde sa admin timom. (Hakovan je od 130+ membersa)

Hteo bih da vas pozovem na jedan Discord server gde se polako skuplja ekipa za dobro druženje, razgovor, šalu i dobru atmosferu. Fokus je na opuštenom chatu, zezanju, sarkazmu, ironiji i humoru, uz dosta različitih tema za razgovor tako da uglavnom nikada nije dosadno :) Dosta nas je toliko u poslu, problemima nekim, pa nekome ovo može doći kao "ventil" https://discord.gg/f8z3pvyAE

Ako neko želi aktivniji chat, upoznavanje novih ljudi i dobru zezanje — slobodno upadajte 😊

link je ispod (molim još jednom admine da imaju razumevanja, ovo nije nikakva "promocija" , samo "oglas" za online druženje i ništa više)

where to buy/how to bless an icon?

looking to gift an icon of my friends patron saint, and not sure where is best to buy from. she’s specifically serbian orthodox if it matters.

also do i need to make an appointment or call the church before getting it blessed? or can i just show up? does it need to be cared for in a specific way after its blessed (like not placing other objects on top, etc)?

sorry in advance if my questions are silly, i just have no idea about any of this stuff and obviously can’t ask her because it’s a birthday surprise

Pitanje: postoje li još uvijek ljudi koji rade zapise i skidaju uroke?

Pokrećem ovu temu jer me zanima je li netko u zadnje vrijeme imao iskustva s osobama koje se bave skidanjem uroka ili izradom energetskih zapisa. Postoji li danas još netko tko to stvarno zna raditi, a da nije klasični prevarant s interneta? Cilj je saznati drži li ta priča vodu i ima li smisla tražiti takvu vrstu pomoći za teške životne blokade. Svako stvarno iskustvo ili preporuka za nekoga tko je pouzdan puno bi pomoglo.
Svi vi sa glupim i ne vezanim komentarima zaobidjite objavu.
Hvala!

Translation assistance for phrases in an English language novel

EDIT: Thanks very much -- I've sent some DMs to volunteer/respondents. I greatly appreciate this.

I am getting close to releasing a fiction novel that contains a few phrases and some dialogue in Serbian. (In English, it's only 41 words total.)

My educational background is in Russian, so I can work out a lot of things in other Slavic languages, but I'd really like to be sure I'm presenting the most accurate translations.

Would anyone be interested in helping? I'm sure it won't be a best seller, but I'd give credit (as well as my thanks)!

Thanks very much.
