TalkIn' Serbian Beginner - Episode 10 - Birthdays in Serbia (Rođendan)
Listen now
Description
Our little boy turned one. As special as this is for any first-time parents, it also got us thinking about birthdays. We were talking about the usual birthday traditions, places to celebrate, and gifts. From a learning-Serbian point of view, there was always a struggle to learn to say dates. And the mere fact that in Serbian you say: “I have -number- years” (not I’m -number- years old) always confused everyone literally translating from English. So, these and more are the things you’re going to learn from this episode. And yes, it was supposed to be 15 mins tops, as always. But hey, things got out of hand. “Who knew there were so many things to talk about regarding birthdays?”, Chris added. Hope you’ll enjoy it! Let us know in the comments how you celebrate birthday in your country. Na srpskom, naravno.  Chapters00:00 Introduction00:40 When is your birthday?02:16 How to say “happy birthday” in Serbian06:34 Typical birthday presents in Serbia09:49 Birthday traditions in Serbia13:15 Let us explain everything (English part) TRANSCRIPTYou can get the transcript of our conversation in Serbian for a small donation on Patreon.
