Serbian Language Puns

Hello everyone! Has some difference between Serbian and Croatian languages? As I understand this is the same language. But sometimes I heard from Croatian and Bosnian people about a difference. What do you think about this?

You all know for the Jojo terms like: "Ora ora ora" or "Muda muda muda"?

Well, let's start decoding it in Serbian way!

Ora' is an informal Serbian word for nut, of its original word Orah. It is also used in some dialects in Serbian language.

Muda is a Serbian swear word for testicles.

So, by the way, we concluded that "Ora ora ora" will actually mean "Nut nut nut", and "Muda muda muda" as "Testicles testicles testicles".

My job of decoding Jojo references is done right here.

Hello, brothers, I come with peace (hides knife behind back).

I am fascinated by exploring another language from our South Slavic language family. It hits home so much and yet it is distant enough to understand. Most people say that they have no difficulty understanding one another. Having exposed myself to Serbian for some time now, I can say that apart from the obvious grammatical cases present, the stress is much different and more importantly the vocabulary contains unknown words and words with different meaning in Bulgarian (aka false friends). What is your experience with or opinion on Bulgarian and how do you evaluate its similarities and differences with Serbian?

Хвала брате

So I decided I want to learn a slavic language, but I can't decide between Bulgarian or Serbian. Which one do you think is easier in terms of grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and access to learning materials?

How hard it would be to learn Serbian if you already speak Russian?

I am fascinated by the language and history and I'd like to learn it. I already know the alphabet and im planning on learning a bit of vocabulary and maybe some grammar on Christmas break. I wanted to know if i have a jumpstart on the language because i am native Greekm. Thanks!

Greece was invaded by Slavs in the Middle Ages, who were gradually Hellenized as the Byzantine Empire regained control.

But what were their languages like, does anyone know? There was a Slavophone presence in the Peloponnese near Laconia as recently as 1500. What was this language like?

How does it work?

SLavonic Serbian: Честь имамъ всѣмъ Высокопочитаемымъ Читателемъ обявити, да безъ сваке сумнѣ намѣренъ есамъ, ону достохвалну и цѣлому Сербскому Роду преполезну ИСТОРИЮ СЕРБСКУ, от коесамъ цѣло оглавленïе давно сообщïо, печатати.

Latin version: Čest' imam vsěm Vysokopočitaemym Čitatelem objaviti, da bez svake sumně naměren esam, onu dostohvalnu i cělomu Serbskomu Rodu prepoleznu ISTORIJU SERBSKU, ot koesam cělo oglavlenie davno soobštio, pečatati.

Modern Serbian: Čast imam svim Visokopoštovanim Čitaocima objaviti, da bez svake sumnje nameren jesam, onu dosta hvaljenu i celome Srpskom Rodu prekorisnu ISTORIJU SRPSKU, od koje sam celo poglavlje davno saopštio, štampati.

Slavonic Serbian was the literary language that was used by Austrian Serbs in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Is there anything problematic with those languages? Why did they do wrong?

I've heard somewhere that the language is the same, but the alphabet is different, not sure if that's true or not, hope you can help me!

Croatians were mostly in Austrian and Austro-Hungarian Empire while Serbs were independent or under Osman rule. How did they develop the same language then and what was their relationship?

I'm going to visit Serbia in August and I'd like to learn the language. What's the proper way to do that?
