Places Around Town

Serbian language has its roots in the Slavic group of languages, and it has a rich vocabulary when it comes to city life. Here are some of the most common places you might find in a Serbian town:

Serbian Pronunciation English
Banka bänkä Bank
Pošta pôʃta Post office
Apoteka äpôtêka Pharmacy
Bolnica bôlnitsa Hospital
Supermarket supermarkêt Supermarket
Restoran restôrän Restaurant
Kafana kafana Traditional Serbian restaurant
Bar bär Bar
Klub klub Club
Muzej mùzej Museum
Biblioteka bìblïoteka Library
Pozorište pôzôriʃtê Theater

Here are some phrases that will come in handy when you are looking for directions:

  • Molim Vas, kako se ide do...? - Excuse me, how do I get to...?
  • Gde se nalazi...? - Where is...?
  • Kako da stignem do...? - How do I get to...?
  • Idite pravo - Go straight
  • Skrenite levo/desno - Turn left/right
  • Na uglu - On the corner
  • U blizini - Nearby

For example, you could ask someone, "Molim Vas, kako se ide do pošte?" (Excuse me, how do I get to the post office?) and they might reply, "Idite pravo, pa skrenite levo na uglu" (Go straight, then turn left on the corner).

Practice Exercise

  • Ask for directions to the bank, then the supermarket.
  • Ask where the library is located and how to get there.
  • Ask for recommendations on a good Serbian restaurant nearby.

Conclusion

Learning Serbian doesn't have to be daunting! By incorporating these everyday phrases, you can immerse yourself in the language and the culture. In this lesson, we covered the Serbian vocabulary for places around town and how to ask for directions. Have fun exploring your Serbian-speaking surroundings!
