Ep.10: Phrases with No English Equivalent
Dobar dan svima,
We are happy to share some fun and useful phrases that exist only in Serbian. We got this idea from Maja Stojanović's book called 'Kod Nas Se Kaže' (We Tend to Say).
Did you know that if Serbians find a person very kind, they want to spread him/her on bread?
Or can you find any similarity between a serious person and a peeing pig? If you would like to learn more, listen to our final episode of Season 6 and enjoy.
Nadamo se da ćete uživati i učiti srpski sa nama.
Veliki Pozdrav,
Ivana i Maki
