Zdravo ! Thank you so much for learning me Serbian step by step. Next year I’ll be studying in Serbia so I’m trying my best to know the basics ! I’m sending love all the way from Suriname- South America 🇸🇷 ❤️
Still sounds like a far fetch to me. There still are situations where you ha e to ask for someone name. If I call somewhere like a clinic the will for sure ask for my (full) name. And sure in English you also don't say "My name is ..." but it's still a phrase we need to be able to understand since jt is so basic. I guess the most natural way would be to saybin any language "I'm XY, and you / what's your name?"
Another Magdalena here! 🤣 I didn’t think it was a common name but I was named after my grandma and her parents came from Бешка. Guess it’s a sign to learn Serbian 😊
Hi Sara :) I'm guessing we just followed the French or German pattern. It's the same in Italian, Spanish and Russian. The first letter is capitalized to underline respect and avoid ambiguity (because the same pronoun is used for another meaning).
Hello, Ms. Magdalena! How're you doing? Well, I hope sincerely you don't misunderstood my asking but I think the topic of this video was not so clearly showed to me. So I'd like to ask you to somewhat review some parts of your explanation, that made me a little confused about what it would be the most simple, direct and acceptable way of "introducing myself" correctly - with no problems for a first good impression, OK? Thank you and regards
What is your recommendation for someone for whom Serbian was their first language, but has not spoken Serbian in nearly 50 years? I still understand most everything that is said when I hear it, but thinking of what to say, or as you say "Natural Serbian", leaves me at a loss for words. I feel like watching TV shows, movies, the news, etc., would be the best method, but can't seem to find a good source.
Thank you for your comment. My recommendation for someone in the described situation are individual lessons with a teacher that would speak 100% Serbian, recommend reading and watching materials, and have conversations with the student about what they read and watch. The teacher needs to prepare you and open you up for different subjects, topic by topic. You would also benefit quite a lot from learning formally about the structure and the rules of the language, so I wouldn't neglect that.
@@tominfoengnet our schedules are tight, but I hope we could find someone available in my teachers' team at Serbonika serbonika.com/serbian-teachers/ if not now, definitely starting from September.
Sure! You can ask "Kako se zove tvoj pas?" "Kako se zove vaša mačka?" Also, a common question: "Koliko je star?" or "Koliko je stara?" - How old is he/her? Best, Magdalena
Learning another language is a feat, and correcting someone's mistakes is usually seen as mocking another person. To mock someone for talking another language is seen as a bad taste and only primitives do that. Also, most Serbs are quite happy when people learn our language, so keep learning and keep chatting :) Поздрав!
How about that, not just how to introduce yourself, but small talk and dating advice. LOL I came across your Č Ć video. I'm originally from Sarajevo. Quite a few Bosnians and Croatians have trouble pronouncing those sounds. Now admit it, your last name would sound better with Č at the end.
Serbian last names end in -ć. If you end a surname with a -č, it will simply sound Russian, because Russian surnames in Serbian end in č: Aleksandar Sergejevič Puškin, Fjodor Mihajlovič Dostojevski etc. :) Greetings to Sarajevo!
@@Serbonika Oh, I know, I'm just, like a movie villain, trying to convince unassuming people to drop sounds that I have hard time pronouncing. Instead of teaching myself how to pronounce it. Thank you for reply.
@@Serbonika Sorry for correcting, but in Russian, the name that ends in "-ič" isn't a surname, but a patronimic. It's basically the name of the father. The patronimic of a woman usually ends in "ovna", like Marija Ivanovna, the most "basic teacher name" (I can't explain it). It's only used in formal situations.

I have been learning serbian for 3 years, this lesson has cleared up my confusion around introductions
Zdravo ! Thank you so much for learning me Serbian step by step. Next year I’ll be studying in Serbia so I’m trying my best to know the basics ! I’m sending love all the way from Suriname- South America 🇸🇷 ❤️

Zdravo..Magdalena.. Hvala...thanks for this video...motivating me to learn more serbian language.
Lepo učenje! Lepo je videti ljude iz belog sveta da uče Srpski jezik
You are an awesome teacher. I want to get the basic down before I start taking professional lessons. Thank you for the clear explanation 👏🏽👍🏾

Hvala vam uciteljice
Moje ime je Srdjan Stefanovic Srdjan,ja sam iz Beograda.Devojke strankinje,nadjite momka iz Srbije i naucice vas srpski.😉
It makes sense. You don't go around and ask for people's names in English either. As she said, that's what you ask little kids.
Still sounds like a far fetch to me. There still are situations where you ha e to ask for someone name. If I call somewhere like a clinic the will for sure ask for my (full) name. And sure in English you also don't say "My name is ..." but it's still a phrase we need to be able to understand since jt is so basic.

Thank you for the tips
Tq for helping
Zdravo. Ja sam Zulkifli.
Another Magdalena here! 🤣 I didn’t think it was a common name but I was named after my grandma and her parents came from Бешка. Guess it’s a sign to learn Serbian 😊
Drago mi je! :D I was named after my great grandma, and she was from South Serbia :)
Can you say the sentences at regular speed then when you repeat slow it down . Please thank you
2:06 just out of curiosity, WHY is the V capitalized? I saw the same in my Serbian app a while ago, but in the context of "molim vas"?
Hi Sara :) I'm guessing we just followed the French or German pattern. It's the same in Italian, Spanish and Russian. The first letter is capitalized to underline respect and avoid ambiguity (because the same pronoun is used for another meaning).
Магдалена, баш ми свиђа начин на који објашњаваш. Драго ми је да сам те "упознао".

"Ja sam Silvio, drago mi je!"
Word "who":
Polish - kto
Serbian - ko
Croatian - tko
This is so funny.
amjan yees
in Russian- kto
5:40 Odem da igram žmurke sa 20oro dece i "Kako se bepe zoveš?" mi postane pozdrav.
Macedonian here trying to learn Serbian haha, nice video :D

@@Serbonika"Добредојдовте во мојот канал" или "Добредојдовте на мој канал." Pozdravii

@@Serbonika Thank you for the quick reply and that sounds like a great plan. Is that something you are available to do online?

Can you use it to ask the name of a pet or animal?
Sure! You can ask "Kako se zove tvoj pas?" "Kako se zove vaša mačka?" Also, a common question: "Koliko je star?" or "Koliko je stara?" - How old is he/her?

@@Serbonika thank you❤
I think Serbians were too polite to point out my mistakes

Pitanje, ti si srpkinja?
100% :)

In Polish, similarly to Russian they end with cz which is your č. Pozdrav
