    There's an American mechanic here living in Belgrade for like past 20 years. He met a Serbian woman in the US, they got married and moved to Serbia. After some years they got divorced, she went to the US and he stayed in Belgrade. He runs his own mechanic's workshop and says he has no interest in going back to the US.

      Naturally, he's an expert in American cars although he doesn't shy away from fixing anything really, as long as you're willing to pay his hourly rate. I first met him when a friend of mine needed something fixed on his Cherokee Jeep and the next time I went to him he was busy working on a 1990 Ford Sierra.

    The first story about how the Serbian guy first started to tell him about how his country bombed Serbia and after that bought him a whole dinner with a “Welcome to Serbia”. That is exactly the Serbia that they don’t show you in the media. They are only trying to make Serbia look bad to the world, but actually I never experienced any bad situation in Serbia (in terms of racism or hate towards other people).

    Excellent guest! Great story! Thanks, guys! I just wanted to add that "jebi ga" is usually used in a negative context (Jebi ga! Zaboravio sam da kupim sladoled. F... it! I forgot to buy ice cream.) The expression "jeb'o te" (literally: It f....ed you) is extremely common both in positive and in negative contexts (Jeb'o te, kakav gol! F..., what a goal! or Jeb'o te! Kako si zaboravio da kupis sladoled? F...! How did you forget to buy ice cream?).

      But it´s also used a lot in positive way. For example "Jesi dig´o onu malu sinoc u klubu? Jebiga druze, znas me." "Did you picked up that shorty last night in the club? F*** it my friend, you know me." or "Kako si to uspio? Jebiga, ko zna, zna." How did you manage to do this? F*** it, who knows, knows."
      While jeb´o te is used, not always, but mostly when you´re in disbelief in something. For example, to continue the club story, "Jeb´o te, pa kako si to uspeo?" "F***, how did you do that."

    • @am3273
      @am3273 4 месяца назад

      @@NeverNotHoopin Those are good examples. Another one that comes to mind would be: "Jebi ga, ima se moze se". But I still have the impression that the examples of the usage of "jebi ga" in a positive context are more limited compared to the negative ones. Perhaps it's just my own experience. When it comes to, "jeb'o te", I agree that it's often used to express either positive or negative surprise.

      With that money, you can have good start living in Serbia, live good life, save some monay, pay private medical insurance, car insurance, rent.. and even you can find job in English private schools, make your Serbian papers..etc.. etc..
      Of course, could be some problems, like enywhere else. Only think you need is a couple thousand $ to start and good will.

I live in canada though, I hope you have a welcoming time in serbia , I completely understand the grammar about the endijgs of words. It just comes so naturally to me , but my serbian is quite , rough. I as we moved early in my life picked up from just conversation of my families friends , I predominantly speak slovak, my serbian is probably as good as yours to be honest.
