3 Embarrassing Serbian Language Mistakes I Had to Learn by Accident 

Ја сам пресрећна што постоји особа која није из Србије, али снима за Србију, предивно заиста ❤❤❤

Once I was talking to my American friend and I wanted to say "Volim crne šale" and instead of translating it as "I like dark humor" I said "I like black jokes"...It took time to explain that I am not a racist.

1st week living in Serbia and my brother-n-law taught me to say "Jebi ga" = "Cheers". And so I went home, moja svekrva offered me some drink and we raised our glass and I said "Jebi ga", she almost passed out! XD

само сам овај видео погледала, и већ те обожавам! ❤️

I made plenty of mistakes...MOST memorable is someone told me HVALA i should say "you're welcome" 😂 so i said "dobro dosli"🤣 🤣

Ti si prosto fantastična. Otvoren um (open mind), otvoreno srce, talenat ta jezike, lepa devojka, fina osoba...

Brate, sestro, ćale si, keve mi.😂😀

Тако сам се слатко исмејао! Улепшала си ми дан :)

Hey Liz, thanks for the funny anecdotes! I had similar experiences. Although embarassing, it's also effective because those mixed up words had been instantly burned into my memory forever. My top 3 mistakes: 1. instant messaging Serbs writing: "Čao brate, evo ti pišam Tom." (instead of pišem; this whole pisati/pišati issue still haunts me today) 2. in a bar with a group of Serbian friends. The waitress asks who will pay and I go: "Evo ja ću plačati!" and the group goes: "Kako da ne Tom! Haijde da idemo do sledeće kavane!" (What's your experience with these I think quite tricky aspect pairs of verbs in the Serbian language?) 3. Standing in the kitchen of my Serbian friend searching for a plate (already knowing I don't know the word for plate in Serbian). He then asks me what I'm looking for and I say: "Ne znam riječ ali tražim ...tele." and everybody around burst out in laughter. (Out of embarassment I used the German word for plate i.e. "Teller" which to them sounded like "tele")

Ја сам толико срећна зато што Лиз учи баш наш језик, хвала ти Лиз зато што негујеш Српски језик ❤️❤️

I'm really proud that somebody learning Serbian. Thank you!❤

stvarno si posebna jer malo ima stranaca koji znaju srpski i zele da ga nauce i samo nastavi volimo te

Svaka ti cast. Nasi jutjuberi se stide da kazu da su Srbi vec govore da su balkanci koji govore neki nas jezik. Bolji si covek od njih.

Just found your channel and I am glad I did. That was very entertaining video, thank you for choosing Serbia. It is kinda rare seeing people from that far away comming here or even learning Serbian langauge but as you have probably seen already, we are very welcoming people. Hvala ti, pozdrav!

Haha crkao sam od smijeha na ovu treću grešku! 🤣 Hvala što si me nasmijala i samo naprijed sa učenjem srpskog jezik! 💪😉

At least it was to a teacher! 😜

Liz, you are an absolute legend!! Thank you for your interest, determination & humilty in sharing your experiences/learning. My skills in speaking my Mother tongue aren't excellent by any standard, but you're doing great!! (Even teaching me a few things along the way). Bravo i svaka ti čast👏👏👏

Umirala sam od smijeha. Definitivno moj omiljeni kanal od dns. 😎😎

It's OK Liz! You made few HONEST mistakes. I'm 30 years in Melbourne and your Serbian is better than my English.

your videos crack me up!!! as a serb, i know how hard it is to learn but good on you! you are seriously doing AMAZING in such a short time. keep these videos coming.

liz, you are such an positive and vibrant person. You radiate kilotons of positive energy all arround you. I wish you to forever stay so kind and positive ! Cheers

Svaka ti cast sto ucis srpski jezik koji nije ni malo lak za one koji su rodjeni u Srbiji a tek za one koji nisu.

You're absolute gem , keep doing good work ❤

Ma meni je neverovatno da ovako nešto postoji,svaka ti čast. Preslatka si 😀😘

Kada dodjes javi se da te vodimo na cevape i pljeskavice!!! Velika si carica. Inace ja sam iz Novog Sada.

Dobro jeste da se greške često dešavaju, ali tvoje su legendarne...🤣 Prvi put vidim da neko voli srpski i snima ZA SRBIJU što je veoma lepo...Želim ti samo uspeha!

Omg Liz I love you, you make mi laugh so much, dobrodosla ti nama u Srbiju, nadam se da napredujes svakog dana u ucenju. Danas sam otkrila tvoj kanal, tvoji videoi bas zanimljivi 😄😂

Ja učim sprski odmah, i to je veoma teško! (Ja sam sada idem govori na engleskom) I formally apologize if I made any grammar mistakes by the way. The reason why it’s hard to learn for me, (personally) is because of the few resources there is to actually learn Serbian. My dad is Serbian and I grew up listening to it so I can pronounce the words, aswell as I know most of the basic grammar rules but I first, cannot memorize vocabulary for the LIFE OF ME, and in my previous point, Serbian is not THAT well known (as Spanish, French, etc. is) so there isn’t many resources for me to learn with. (Keep in mind, I am a broke teenager soooo..)

U onim ostalim klipovima ti ne moraš učiti srpski ODLIČNO ti ide 👍👍👍😍😍😍pošto u nekim situacijama pričaš srpski bolje od mene!

Hahahaha, this video just reminded me of how I learned Serbian 🤣 I wish you the best of luck, you’re amazing!

Just subscribed. These are honest mistakes! I laughed out loud at the first one. I am Serbian but moved to the US when I was 6 so my Serbian isn’t perfect and one time I was telling my mom I had so much free time and I said “besplatno vreme” and my family is still laughing to this day. 🤣

After fixing up my mother-in-laws bathroom in Serbia I went shopping for a new toilet brush. I couldn’t find one anywhere. I must have tried ten or more shops and the local market. Bizarre. Even stranger were the weird looks I was getting. “Šta je to?”, the shopkeepers were asking me, as if they have never heard of a toilet brush. The next day my mother-in-law came home laughing. Every shop she went into the shopkeeper would ask her why her son-in-law needed a toilet hammer. Apparently čekić and četka are completely different words. Who knew?

WOUUUUUUU,koje fantasticne greske od koje se svi mi sami ucimo kao i ti,ali drugo je bitno sto ti si naucila srpski jezik ko da si rodjena u Cacku.BRAVOOOO LIZ ODUSEVIO SAM SE I POCEO DA GLEDAM OD SAMOG POCETKA ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🌻🌼🍀SRECNO

Odlična si Liz nastavi tako bravo 😉😘👏

Prvi tvoj video koji gledam i odmah sam se subscribe-ovao. Super si :)

Коначно неко ко жели да УЧИ српски језик то је заиста ретко! Поготово када је неко из иностранства! Finally someone who wants to LEARN Serbian language, that's pretty **AgAin dosent know the translation of word**! Specially when someone is from other country! Sorry my English isn't good so I couldn't translate those two sentences-

Bravo Liz,samo napred....👏👍💪

Divna si, Liz ❤️

This free-besplatna/slobodna part, reminded me of one time when I was in Canada, and I wanted to compliment Canadians I said like "you are soO simple people, I like that"..she bursted laughing but also looked at me like I was mad...I was like "what? what?!" (I wanted to say they are NOT complicated, easy going, easy to get along, but I ended up saying they were dumb) Two years later I was like "Ohhhhh fuck"

As far as I see, you are already on the next level where you can actually understand if some spellings are incorrect. Level after that is telling people that their natural language grammar is wrong (just noticing or even correcting them) and level after is watching domestic (Serbian) movies or listening to our songs without subtitles/lyrics, and just enjoying them for what they are. Nowadays I usually watch foreign (mainly EN/USA) movies or series with English subs because it's more natural to me than when it has Srb/Hr/BiH subtitles. It's also less distracting(?) so I can get excited and pulled in more by that - whatever it is (a movie, TV show, documentary or a song). I kinda cracked at the 3rd mistake, but oh well, it wasn't so bad... Oooorrr let's just say you were lucky. :D

Predivno stvorenje...bravo

You're just hilarious, thos is only the second video of yours I watched and I already adore you! KIDAŠ

Ja jedva uspevam da naučim engleski. Svaka tebi čast kad uspevaš srpski da naučiš. Srpski je jako težak jezik za učenje.

Bravo lepotice!!!😍

Hahahaa crazy Lickie😋(Liz)

I am Serbian and since the first grade I had hard time learning English because I couldn't pronounce the words correctly because of the rule in Serbian "write it as you say it, read it as it's written." And we have 30 letters and 30 sounds so it was hard to me to pronounce the words correctly. It took me about...5 or 6 years to master it correctly because I was the kind of kid that if I can't do something in first 10 times I try it, I would lose hope in learning that and just find to do something else. Then for some reason (movies,books and the internet) I had the will to master English when I started 6th grade. My English drastically improved in 2 months and I then felt embarrassed about whining how hard English was. Then my friends had the problems with learning so they were(still are) callings me their 'teacher' because I know the English the best out of...let's say whole class. They had hard time with grammar while I couldn't find the difference between using might and probably in sentences. We would say 'it will happen' or 'it won't happen' or just reply with 'maybe' (I have understood after some time and then once again felt embarrassed because I didn't understand something that simple) My point is that you shouldn't be embarrassed about making mistakes because everyone makes mistakes sometimes and making a mistake is the best way to learn. (You will want to know what went wrong and how to correct it) I would be glad to help you(you probably won't need my help but I would like to offer it)

Kako je znala da je noc hahaha Imas my subscribe Cause you are kinda.. fantasticna i super si hahahah
