Why we say Božić for Christmas in Serbian 

Здраво :) Срећан Божић такође, све најбоље у новој години! Ја учим немачки, говорим врло мало за сада (А2 ниво) :)

Zdravo, hvala na komentaru :) Pišemo "uoči" i "ovako". Baš interesantno, volela bih upoznati vašu drugaricu koja mi toliko liči :) Puno pozdrava!

@@Serbonika Hvala puno na ispravci,bas osecam da gubim pravopis . Hvala mnogo ,bas volim da vas slusam ,Kako sam zaboravila “o” ovako ,bravo 👍 Kada ispravite mudrog coveka on vam se zahvali,kada ispravite budalu ona se ljuti 😀 Moram da vas pratim jer to mi je jedini nacin da ispravim sebe kako deci ne bih prenela pogresno izrazavanje. Jec hvatam sebe kako kazem “ja idem nogama umesto ja setam”.😂😂 Kako da vam posaljem njeno ime i prezive a da joj zastitim identitet ?

Yes they are all diminutives. The "small one of". Like most of europeans, only the upper class had more names. Regular people had only one name, and a given nick name. Out of administrative reasons, family names were introduced in 17th century. To generate a family name they took a regular name of the eldest person of some family, put a diminutive as a suffix on his name and voila, all of his succesors had beside of their own name the name of the eldest one.

@@schmucker1989"hvala lepo" for the explanation. Now I conclude from this that Vucic means "little wolf" :-)

It could, but these two words have different accents: Vučić (surname, with a short-falling accent on u) and vučić (with a short raising accent on u and a post-tonal length on i) :D
