Zbog cega se nekad koristi “u” a nekad “na” kad putujes na neka mesta?

Naprimer kaze se, “idem u kinu/srbiju/vojvodinu” dok se za neka druga mesta kaze “idem na tajland/kosovo/maldive”.

Prvo sam mislio da se na kaze za ostrva pa mi je imalo smisla dok se nisam setio da se koristi i za kosovo, tajland i druga mesta koja su na kontinentu.

Koji je razlog za ovo?

live in Nigeria and I started learning Serbian about 3 months ago. I know how that sounds. Nobody around me speaks it, there's no class anywhere near me, no language exchange meetups, nothing. Just me, my phone, and whatever I can find online.

The reason doesn't matter much but I'm committed to it and slowly piecing things together from whatever I can find:

Duolingo – Serbian isn't on it which is frustrating, so I've been using it for related Slavic exposure

Pimsleur – has a Serbian course, this has been my main structured resource

Anki – downloaded a Serbian frequency deck, 10 cards a day

YouTube – a few channels with beginner Serbian lessons, slow and inconsistent but better than nothing

Google Translate voice – just to hear how words actually sound

The reading and listening are slowly coming together. But speaking is a completely different problem. I have literally nobody to practice with. Not a single person in my city or even online that I've been able to connect with regularly.

I keep seeing Issen mentioned as an AI speaking app where you have real conversations and get corrected live. For someone in my situation it sounds like exactly what I need, but I don't want to get my hopes up if it doesn't actually work for less common languages like Serbian.

Has anyone tried it for Serbian specifically? Does it handle the language well or does it only work properly for Spanish/French/big languages?

Any other resources or communities you know of for learning Serbian remotely would mean a lot too.

како ви пишете писано 'ж'?

никако да ми се лепо уклопи, не знам да ли га погрешно пишем или да ли се просто не уклапа као друга слова... такође, каква друга слова су вама тешке?

Primeri reči gde "nj" nije "Њ" i "lj" nije "Љ".

Za "nj" samo našao samo dva: "konjunkcija" i "injekcija". Ali za "lj" ne mogu da nađem. Imate li vi neku reč sa ovom zavrzlamom?

Bonus pitanje, našao sam da unicode imam posebne karaktere za latinicu za "nj", "lj", "dž", ali se koda nas ne koriste. Zašto? Da li je prekasno definisano da bi sad menjali?

Primeri: LJ, Lj, dž, Dž, DŽ, slova možete selektovati i videti da je Dž recimo jedno slovo/karakter a ne dva (ako reddit bude prikazao ovo).

Dear foreigners who want to learn Serbian,

​

  1. What are the main reasons for learning it?

  2. What materials would you like to learn from mostly, but you can't find them online?

I am doing a small research and your answers will do me a huge favour. Thanks in advance!

Learning Serbian as an English Native Speaker?

Hey everyone, sorry if this is in the wrong subreddit etc, I don’t know how to use Reddit properly 🥲
My partner is Serbian 🇷🇸. I’m trying to learn so I can communicate better with his family when we visit. I’m currently using the language app ling and watching tv shows online with Serbian subtitles or dubbing. Just wondered if anybody else had any tips or tricks?! I’m finding it super difficult in almost every way to make things stick in my head.

Dragi svi, trenutno sprovodim istraživanje u okviru master studija psihologije i potrebno mi je još oko 100 ispitanica ženskog pola, uzrasta 15-30 godina.

Ako spadate u ovu grupu i imate malo vremena i dobre volje, molim vas da popunite upitnik i pomognete ovoj budućoj mami da uspe da masterira u junu, jer je pitanje kad će ponovo imati snage i vremena da se posveti studijama ako ne završi sada...😄

Evo i linka: https://forms.gle/oKE7D1zJcWAy8g9LA

Zaista mi svaki odgovor neizmerno znači, tako da veliko hvala svima unapred🙏🏻

Znate li neke narodne umotvorine uzrečice koje su nepoznate široj masi?

Znate li uzrečice umotvorine koje se koriste u vašem kraju, smatrate da nisu šire poznate?

U potkopaoničkom kraju ja znam nekoliko:

  1. Stari muž, mlada žena, gotova beda.

2.Fali mu 5 da ima 6.

3.što djubre više diraš, više smrdi.

  1. Čudi se ko brzećka mlada.

  2. Hladan ko ciganski tanjir.

  3. Moje stine Jele, pa njene snaje rođenoga devera pastorak

7.Zborte usta da niste pusta.

  1. Evo ti Adame Eva pa ti biraj ženu

  2. Priča Markove konace

Zdravo, čitam knjigu prevedenu sa francuskog jezika i u više navrata se javlja dugosilazni akcenat na poslednjem slogu reči. Da li je ovo neko pravilo ili gramatička nepravilnost?

A friend of mine asked me a very good question and that were the origins of the term "crni ti" whenever they share a hardship they're dealing with to their friends.

I wasn't sure how to answer this since I don't know the origins myself and judging from some Google searches it seems to be a unique thing for the people of the Western Balkans.

Does this community have any historical context of the origins of this term?

This is a headline from N1 today. It can be argued that it's politically correct, but strictly speaking, it's ungrammatical. What's your take on it, dear Serbian learners? :)

Šta mislite o predloženim izmenama porodičnog zakona u Srbiji, koje bi moglo da se nadje pred poslanike do kraja maja 2026. godine, naročito u delu koji se odnosi na potpunu zabranu fizičkog kažnjavanja dece, zabranu maloletničkih brakova, ali i lakšem prijavljivanju roditelja?

thanks in advance!

My grandmother used to have several terms of endearment for all her grandchildren. The main ones I remember are calling us sunce which I found out means sunshine.

The other one I heard all the sounded like “chalk-a-no” all one word. If anyone has any idea it would be great to know. Thanks!
