Serbian Reading Comprehension

Ovo je jedna vrlo vežba za koju vam nije dovoljno samo dobro poznavanje srpskog jezika, već i izuzetno izoštreni kriterijumi kritičnog mišljenja. Tema je veoma ozbiljna - brazilski orah.

Pročitajte kratke tekstove na istu temu sa nekoliko sajtova i odgovorite na pitanja ispod.

TEKST A (izvor: BastaBalkana )

TEKST B (izvor: Mondo)

TEKST C (izvor: B92)

TEKST D (izvor:Ženars )

Learning Serbian with Interesting Texts - What should people do?

Marina reading comprehension , Serbian exercises

There are many interesting texts which you don't need to understand in detail, but just the gist or the most important facts. One of such texts is certainly a very popular one about Hunza people. There are various versions of this article which you can compare by Googling "Hunza narod".

I created the following exercises based on this text published in Blic.

Who are Hunzas? = Ko su Hunze?

Gde Hunze žive?
Šta oni jedu?
Šta ne jedu?
Koliko kilometara predju dnevno?
Koje su njihove dobre navike?
Koliko dugo oni žive?
Zašto žive toliko dugo?

What should people do? = Šta bi ljudi trebalo da rade?

Reading Comprehension Exercises at Intermediate Level

Marina intermediate Serbian , reading comprehension

Here is one fun exercise where you have to carefully watch the photo below and then decide what was the first face you noticed as you were watching it = Evo jedne zabavne vežbe gde treba da pažljivo gledate sliku ispod i odlučite se koje lice ste prvo primetili dok ste je gledali:

Da biste saznali rešenje testa možete da odete na ovu stranicu i pročitate objašnjenje. ALI pre nego što kliknete na odgovore, pogedajte ponuđene vežbe!

Vežba 1:

Ako radite ovu vežbu u parovima, bilo bi interesantno da samo jedan od vas pročita rešenje a drugi da zaključi koje ste lice videli na osnovu opisa vaše ličnosti.

Vežba 2: Na osnovu slike izaberite tekst i pročitajte ga u prvom licu jednine

Na primer: Prema ovom tekstu, ja sam miroljubiva osoba. ŽeliM da mir i harmonija uvek budu u ______ svetu, zbog toga izbegava_ bilo kakve sukobe...Mnogo vremena provodi_ planirajući ____ budućnost i zbog toga je ____ glavni izazov da nauči_ da veruje__. Promenjiv_ sam i verovatno ima_ nekoliko različitih hobija i zbog toga ___ je teško da se usmeri_ na samo jedan. U ____ ličnosti nema ništa negativno.

Vežba 3: Prepričajte tekst koji vas opisuje koristeći sinonime / antonime /slične fraze da biste što više izmenili izvorni tekst. Evo primera o mojoj ličnosti:

1. biti miroljubiva osoba = ne biti ratoborna osoba (ant.)

2. harmonija = sklad (sin.)

3. izbegavati = zaobići (sin.)

4. planirati = praviti planove (fr.)

5. promenjiv = nestalan (sin.)

6. teško = nije lako (ant.)

7. usmeriti se na = fokusirati se na (sin.)

Vežba 4: Pogoditi kakva je druga osoba, da biste saznali koje je lice druga osoba prvo primetila.

1. Da li si miroljubiva osoba?

2. Da li voliš sklad i mir?

itd.

Serbian Fun Expressions and Idioms

Marina Advanced Serbian , reading comprehension

In one of my more advanced Serbian lessons there came up a few expressions which I wanted to share with you today. I will copy-paste a part of the text about Jeremija, with whom you can learn Serbian from the very start. I'll list the tasks below this short excerpt:

Jeremija je bio veoma srećan tog jutra, jer je bio potpuno siguran da će dobiti povišicu na poslu. Njegov šef je u nekoliko navrata natuknuo Jeremiji da će od sledećeg meseca omastiti brk, kao i da je to potpuno zaslužio. Jeremija se pravio lud i uspešno se uzdržavao da ne vuče šefa za rukav i postavlja dodatna pitanja. Bio je svestan da sve što bude dobio jeste rezultat njegovog sopstvenog rada i da nije jednostavno palo s neba. Posebno mu je bilo milo što ovaj put nije morao da se kiti tuđim perjem. Njegova zasluga je bila očigledna. Kada je tog jutra stigao na posao i otvorio svoju kancelariju, imao je šta da vidi. Na stolu je stajao potpuno nov kompjuter i pored njega još noviji mobilni, a šef je sav sijao od sreće! "Šta sam ti rekao? Borio sam za tebe kao vučica... i izborio sam se! Najnoviji model? Hm? Šta kažeš?" Jeremija nije morao da se pretvara - na njegovom licu se videlo da su mu sve lađe potonule... Bio je 100% siguran da će dobiti veću platu, a sada mu je postalo jasno da je ostao kratkih rukava! Šta će mu sada Spomenka reći?

Right, now there are three tasks for you:

The easiest task: Can you find the synonyms for these words in the text:

drago
aludirao
apsolutno
pravi
narednog
jako
blesav
totalno
puta
shvatio
sasvim
samo

2. The more difficult task: which phrases and idioms mean:

down in the dumps/ in the doldrums
fight like a wolf
to be absolutely certain about something
keep asking for something
get a raise
take an advantage of something
to deck oneself in borrowed finery
to get the worst of a bargain/ to come away empty-handed

3. The most difficult task: what will Spomenka say to him when he arrives back home? Try to come up with a suitable idiom or expression. Let me help you with a few ideas, and you try to guess which ones are the most appropriate:

ko drugome jamu kopa sam u nju upada
svako nosi svoj krst
nema ti ravna
prvo skoči pa reci hop
nije zlato sve što sija
ko rano rani dve sreće grabi
doterao je cara do duvara
poklonu se u zube ne gleda

Serbian Phrases through Songs

Marina Listening comprehension , reading comprehension

If you're learning Serbian, you'll surely need these commonly used phrases (on a daily basis LOL):

Ostaviti (nekoga) na miru = Leave (someone) alone (e.g. ostavi me na miru! = leave me alone)
Poludeću = I'll go crazy
Učiniću sve da + present tense = I'll do everything to...
Možda i grešim = maybe I'm mistaken
Samo nebo zna koliko + phrase = (only) heaven knows how much ...

Let's learn them while singing this oldie song by Oliver Mandić:

Studying Serbian with Songs

One of the most beautiful Serbian oldtown songs is surely "Što se bore misli moje"
