Numbers and counting are essential parts of any language, and Serbian is no exception. In this lesson, we will learn how to count and use numbers in Serbian.

Basic Numbers
Let's start with the basics. Here are the numbers from one to ten in Serbian:
| Serbian | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| један | YED-an | one |
| два | dva | two |
| три | tree | three |
| четири | CHEH-tea-ree | four |
| пет | pet | five |
| шест | shest | six |
| седам | SEH-dam | seven |
| осам | OH-sam | eight |
| девет | DEH-vet | nine |
| десет | DEH-set | ten |
As you can see, Serbian numbers are straightforward to learn, with some unique pronunciations to note. From here, counting higher is relatively easy.
Counting Higher Numbers
To count higher numbers, let's learn some Serbian number rules. In Serbian, you add numbers together to form higher numbers. Here are the Serbian numbers for 11-20:
| Serbian | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| једанаест | YED-a-na-est | eleven |
| дванаест | DV-a-na-est | twelve |
| тринаест | trinaest | thirteen |
| четрнаест | chet-r-na-est | fourteen |
| петнаест | pet-na-est | fifteen |
| шеснаест | shees-na-est | sixteen |
| седамнаест | seh-dam-na-est | seventeen |
| осамнаест | OH-sam-na-est | eighteen |
| деветнаест | DEH-vet-na-est | nineteen |
| двадесет | dv-a-des-et | twenty |
After twenty, you simply join several numbers to make a larger number. For example, to say "56" in Serbian, you say "petdeset šest," which means "50 six." Here are some examples of counting higher numbers in Serbian:
| Serbian | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| тридесет три | tree-des-et tree | thirty-three |
| четрдесет пет | chet-r-des-et pet | forty-five |
| шездесет шест | shez-des-et shest | sixty-six |
| седамдесет девет | seh-dam-des-et DEH-vet | seventy-nine |
| сто десет | stoh DEH-set | one hundred ten |
Note that Serbian uses the Latin script, so it may be easier for many people to read.
Fractions and Decimals
To say fractions in Serbian, use the word "deo" to indicate the fraction. For example:
- пола (po-la) - half
- трећина (tresh-ti-na) - one-third
- четвртина (chet-vr-ti-na) - one-fourth
To express decimals, Serbian uses a comma instead of a period. For example, to say "3.14" in Serbian, you would say "tri zarez jedanaest četvrtina" (three comma eleven quarters).
Conclusion
Numbers and counting are all around us, and it’s essential to know how to use them in every language we learn. In this lesson, we learned how to count and use numbers in Serbian, and we hope it was helpful to you.
