What Serbian sounds like to foreigners/kako srpski jezik zvuči strancima 

"Russian...? Polish..?" "You're very close..." "...German?" Lol wtf

PRICAJ SRPSKI DA TE CEO SVET RAZUME!

Watching this video as Serbian is very funny xD

Don't worry dude, Serbs won't be offended if you compare them to Russians.

ma nije bre speniš!!!!

Greetings from Serbia! Good imitations.

In my family nobody speaks Serbian but me, and I was listening Serbian music at home and my father asked me if it was French. Serbian sounds beautiful.

Serbian is an amazing language, from Romania !❤

This was so fun to watch. Thank you for the video! Greetings from Serbian person! :)

Thank you so much Shunfu for accepting this request of mine! It was very interesting to hear what foreigners think of my native language, as I've always wondered that!

Best 4 melodic languages in the world are Serbian, Italian, Portuguese and French.

јако лепо да ли има неког србина овде real serbian

I often say to foreigners that my language sounds like russian because it's the biggest slavic language. But when you hear both languages you see that serbian has very few soft sounds. Russian has two complete sets of hard and soft sounds.

Cool video! Greetings from Serb Republic!

Russians are our brothers, we wouldn't be mad if you compared Serbian to Russian. :)

Don't worry guy we love russians they are our brothers

1:42 that girl said "veći prostor" perfectly! Serbian, Croatian and Bosnian is almost identical and not an easy language to learn. Partially because of certain sounds that we use like Ć, Đ, Ž and most vicious of them all sound "Lj". On top of that, grammar is full of exceptions. The only easy part of our language is writing - it is without any exceptions and each character bears same sound regardless of it's position in the word. Also, combination of characters do not affect sound of the character as it is typical for almost all Western spelling.

all slav lenguages are similar and diferent in their way..so it is not offensive to think that it sounds like russian or any other slav language.. greetings from serbia

My English speaking friends are usually telling that our language (Serbian) sounds somewhat harsh and that it's nothing like comparably soft and mellodic Russian; plenty of regular everyday words are quite challenging for them to pronounce - it's always fun to listen them struggling with their tongues :) They also think that Serbs tend to speak a bit too loudly :)

Greets from Serbia! Ive enjoyed watch the video!

Hi from Serbia. I'm SERBIEN girl🙋🤗🇷🇸

Thing is the most common accent of Serbian isn't even standard Serbian, but very harsh and slang-influenced Belgrade accent (our capital Belgrade) which is what is heard in video...Real Serbian is a lot softer but we Belgradians are most numerous among Serbs (2 out of 7 million in the country) and most commonly heard in music, films and tv shows.

KOSOVO JEST SERBSKIE!!! kosovo jest serbia

Why the f would we be offended if you compare us to Russia? 😂 We love Russian!! 😂😂

Thanks for doing this, really enjoyed it.

Thank you for this video. It's very interesting. Come here to visit our culture, cities and nature. You're welcome! Greetings from Serbia.. :)

They guessed Spanish and Italian based on the first 10seconds of the sample. That short portion was cluttered with elements often associated with Italian or Spanish. I'm sure very few would have guessed Spanish or Italian if I eliminated that part.

Russian??? Polish??? Very close. German Seriosly

Hi, greetings from Serbia! Thank you for making me laugh, I didn't expect that this will happen. I was surprised that somebody used a video of TV show where I was a guest, since there are many other videos available on the web. Thank you once again, it was very amusing to hear foreigns repeating my words because our language is very specific for pronunciation. :) Salute!

OMG, this is so cool, i always wanted to hear how does my language sound to other people!

Iskreno jako interesantan video. Nisam ocekivao da ce nas porediti sa Spanskim. Thank you for making this

Svaka čast na prilogu,znam da je teško pogoditi tuđi jezik,mnogo mi je smješno kad čujem ljude da se muče sa izgovorom.Veoma interesantan prilog svaka čast. Samo mislim da bi srpski studenti pogodili 90% jezika bar sa sjeverne hemisfere! Srpski je veoma težak ali kad se nauči svi ostali jezici su laki! Pozdrav! Congratulations on the attachment, I know it's difficult to guess other people's language, I'm so funny when I hear people that are struggling with pronunciation. Very interesting favor of congratulations. I just think that Serbian students hit 90% of the language bar on the northern hemisphere! Serbian is very difficult but when you learn any other languages are easier!

How can you even confuse Slavic and Romantic languages?

Thank you for this video! :) Greetings from Serbia

I don't think none of us would be offended by this clip or by someone who never spoke our language before trying to mimic it after they had just heard it for the first time. A close enough guess was to recognize it as a Slavic language. Keep it up! :)

Rusi su nasa braca, naravno da se ne bi ljutili. Russians are our brother, of course we wouldn't get man. :D

Not all the foreigners have such difficulties recognizing Serbian. I usually recognize it immediately. :)

I love how people listen very carefully and are willing to participate in this little game with languages. Can you do Portuguese or Swedish, I think it would be very interesting, too. Greetings from Serbia!

Great video guys! :D I enjoyed and smiled! That's what's important! Nice people in the video.

Interesting video and we like Russinas so we dont mind compering. ;)

I'm half Polish half Serbian LMAO

By the Serbian calendar we live in 7526 y. So Serbian language is one of the first language in the world. “Serbian Cyrillic is the most perfect script in the world” Bernard Shaw. 😉

Ha I was always wondering about this! Thanks :)

1:51 Ja sam iskarana xD

Srpski jezik najjaci na svetu!!!!!!

no we are not mad when it's compared to Russian, they're our brothers :)

Like the video and the idea to ask randomly people so you can see from different perspectives how people understand differently the same thing! Thumbs up!

Nice video dude its good to know that people are actually doing some nice stuff like you just did made an video about Serbian language which is really nice from your side :) keep up a good work you get a huge thumbs up from me and from Serbia too :).

This guy with glasses sounds like a language expert. Respect! :)

2:33 Aww, this guy is so nice. :) And we don't mind being compared to Russians. Greetings from Serbia! ❤

this is such an interesting series

I really liked this video. Good job on the methodology and preparation.

Our language, especially letters and stuff, was modified from old Russian, so yeah, you wouldn't be wrong if you are imitating Serbian like Russian. :) It was modified a lot tho, the most things that got hit was grammar, some new letters were introduced and the rule that I think not even one language in the World has that's one letter on Serbian represents one short pronunciation, which means you don't pronounce letters in words so they sound like two letter parts but each letter is singularly sounding. Example of multi letter pronunciations in English: "A" is pronounced as "EY", or "B" letter sounds like: "Bee", well in our language there aren't any letters that sounds like any multi-letter words. They are like chopped off sort of speaking. Also grammar is very complex, one of the most complex grammars in the World, it's one of the hardest languages to learn along with Chinese for example. It's because we change our words accordingly to many stuff, in sentences... We have something that exists in German for example, which is "gender" of words, so if word is kinda "womanish" then we add some letter(s) to it, and if it's "man-ish" then some other letter(s), and if it belongs to "it" sort of speaking group, then some other letter(s) are added, that rule especially counts for verbs which then you can use without subject in sentence and it's understandable who is doing the thing that is explained by the sentence (it's not needed to say "he", "she" or "it" like in English or some other languages; it's enough to say like: "The car was washed" on Serbian, the verb "washed" can be modified in 3 ways so we know exactly if it was female, male or "it" person who washed it [if that's known], otherwise we say in general that "the car have been washed"). In German you have "die, der and das" for nouns. :) The other things about grammar is that there are a lot of rules and some exceptions... I'm glad that I've been born here, because this language makes us kind of unique and it's natural for us. :) Proud to be Serbian!

'veći prostor' that one was perfect! :-)

How can they say Spanish or Italian? I mean, have they not heard Italian/Spanish in their lives before?? I'm sorry, but I honestly can't believe someone can be so uneducated. I am Serbian, and there are a lot of languages out there that I am not familiar with, but I'd never ever confuse them with such well-known languages as those two are. I mean, people, come on. You don't have to speak a language in order to recognize it. I don't speak Chinese for example, but I'd always recognize it. Same goes for almost all European languages, Japanese and Korean. Inform yourself, people. It's high time you did that, really.

Hey man, I'm Serbian. And this is amazing! hahahah very funny, thanks for this video 😁

Hvala.

No man, trust me, there is no reason why we would get offended that you compared Serbian to Russian, we actually really love Russians :)

great...loved it :)

Great.... love it greeting from Serbia!!!!!!!!!

The Recording is Louder than the People Answering.

I love Serbian. Glad I know some of it. 😄

You should make a part two!

Awesome! bravo!!

Serbian language is MOST BEAUTIFUL AND MOST SEXIEST LANGUAGE ON PLANET!!! Big love from Brazil!

I love how a lot of them says ,,Russian" 😂

Great video... Thank you... :)

good video :)

PRICAJ SRBSKI DA TE CEO SVET RAZUME ;)

Trebali su da puste dok neko psuje :D

this is awesome lol greetings from serbia guys!

Svaka Čast

In Russian, "kak serbskij jazyk zvučit inostrancam" - so similar!

nobody: Americans when they hear any Slavic lanhauge: oMg iT iS rUsSiAn!

Well done!

cool video

Ja ne znam kako neko može biti glup da se ponosi što mu jezik miješaju sa nekim drugim, umjesto da im je drago što ljudi prepoznaju NJIHOV jezik.

I am from Serbia and heyy to everybody!!!!!!!!! Hope you understand: Zdravo svima, moje ime je Ana, pozdrav

Lmao this is great!! It's funny how some actually do pronounce some words quite good :pCould you please make people listen to croatian, serbian and bosnian?? I know its basically the same language but they do sound quite different. That's why I want to hear foreigners comparisions lol. It would really be fun to see their aspects as some people from our countries still debate over the languages

hearing this as an american serb who has very rusty serbian is literally so funny lmfao it half makes sense, sounds like gibberish and sounds familiar yet forgein

Ja sam iz srbije i ako razumete ovo svaka vam cast ;)

You should do what Estonia sounds like to foreigners.

Serbian language, along with Croatian and Bosnian, has a quite good advance compared to other languages. It is "Read as it was written".

jako interesantno

Which website did you guys use to see this? I know it's RU-vid, but which website posted the link to this video? I'm getting unprecedented number of views and I don't think they came directly from RU-vid.

How could you possibly think serbian sounds like spanish? They sound nothing alike!

I'm from greece Serbian sounds awesome 😀😀😀

Yuhuuu 🙌

Živela Srbija🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸❤❤❤

at 1:51 on serbian it means honest, but she said im fucked xD iskarana

Može li išta proći bez glupih komentara, inace hvala ovom momku što je uopšte ovo uradio, jer o srpskom jeziku u svetu gotovo niko ne zna ništa, inače logično je da će im zvučati slično kao ruski ili poljski jer su to slovenski jezici i to njima zvuči sve isto, ne znaju oni da prave razliku,kao što ni mi ne pravimo razlike izmedju nekih drugih srodnh jezika tipa skandinavski zvuče nam isto,logično.... Inače početak klipa kad im zvuči kao španski ili italijanski i to čak nije čudno i ranije sam se sretao sa tim čak i od rusa sam čuo da srpski na momente zvuči kao italijanski ili neki od romanskih jezika, u principu srpski jezik u odnosu na ostale slovenske je najmekši i najmelodičniji.

Very interesting results

Interesting cute experiment

Србија до Токија!

I'm from Serbia and this video is really funny xDD

Good, clever video. Even though I love my language, I don't think it sounds too attractive to foreigners.

I laughed so hard when i saw that first Asian guy :D

#SRBIJADOTOKIJA

Great topic :) And yes, people that speak Serbian don't mind when people say they sound Russian...any slavic language will sound similar =so all good :) Serbian language , I must add is also known as : Serbo- Croatian language, Croatian language and Bosnian language...the main difference is in dialect and , it is something like American English / Australian English / Irish English and British english.. good to know...for all of those who study Serbian , they will be understood in Bosnia and Croatia as well :))))

The fact that almost no one connected it to the Slavic branch is really surprising to me! I guess it does not sound as harsh as I thought it did... and I speak it, so I'm allowed to give my opinion :D
