* special letters and cyrllic alphabet *

Serbian alphabet contains of 30 letters.

If you came to Serbia, or just went to any of our websites, you could have noticed that we have some "funny letters" not known in english albhabet...

ć pronounced as tj (ćevapčići - ćevapčići :)
č pronounced as ch (chair - čear, čutura, čvarak)
ž pronounced as zh (giraffe - žiraf, žbun, ždrijelo)
š pronounced as sh (shout - šaut, šešir, šargarepa)
đ pronounced as dj (djevrek - đevrek :)
dž pronounced as d3 (just - džast, dživdžan)

Certainly the most funniest thing that had ever happened to me concerning our language is to explain the difference between ć and č, and đ and dž to non native serbian! :)

They all here it as a same sound! :)

and it certainly is not :) the fist one is "softer" than the second one that is "harder" while pronouncing :)

(same thing happened to me while trying to learn turkish... i and I... Aybars claim that there is a difference! hm..)

After you accept these not really common letters, even in our language (except ć, 'cause most of our surnames ends with ić), you run into another not common thing for foreigners (except of armenians :) ) and that is a Cyrillic alphabet! :)



The founder of the cyrillic alphabet known today is Vuk Stefanović Karadžić, in 19th century.

Some letters are same as in latin alphabet (for example A, E, O, M, T), and some of them are totally another one in cyrillic than in latin alphabet (for example, H in cyrillic stands for N, or P in cyrillic represents R, ...)

Try to learn it before you come or at least as soon as you come to Serbia, otherwise you could face small challanges, 'cause all street names, signs in post offices, bus and railway station, etc. are in cyrillic alphabet! :)

Here you can download ПРАВИ БУКВАР - a programme in which you can learn serbian alphabet and hear the proprer pronounciation. :) (9.2 MB, shorter version - 1.4 MB can be found here)

Good luck! :)

Take away from Belgrade, part 1

If you are (were or will be) on an internship in Serbia, there are some things you shouldn't miss..

for example, Radovan the Third! The following quation is the most common one that interns are taught (by Maja and me) to repeat:
"Q: Ko treba da udje prvi?
A: Deda!
Q: Zasto deda?!
A: Zato sto je deda persooooooooooooona!"



Literally translated, it doesn't mean anything special, and certainly is not funny :), but if you could see him talking.. hahahaha

Radovan the Third is a cult theater play, last time played in early 1980s. It is about a man who came in a big city and everything that he came up to as a problem.

The play was written by Dusan Kovacevic and it was ment to be a comedy, but it's not the main reason why it became SO popular that people today still talk about it! :) The main actor Zoran Radmilovic, the biggest profligate of the town Chicago, was able to think of new jokes and comments in EVERY SHOW!!!

So, imagine a play, written to be funny (and to make some jokes on current political system in a country) and to last for an hour and with this actor, it lasted FULL 3 HOURS of hilarious performace!!!! Every evening you could go and see the play, becouse it never was the same (as my father say ;) )!!! He would think of extra 2 hours of programme! (and it wasn't on purpose.. it was just him and his working style)

The most impresive part of the story is that he would be dead serious while talking nonesence and sometimes even actors who played with him started laughing! :) You'd never know what to expect next. :)

Once, in 1983 (yes, yes, two years before i was even born!!) without Zoran's knowledge, they recorded one of the performaces! Today, it is considered to be one of the best plays ever! (for both generations - them, who lived while it was played, and us, the upcoming generation :)

So, Ko treba da udje prvi? :)
