Nestor Villa yes a Serb would understand all and vice versa, even the small Differences that might occur due to dialects(which are more varied within the countries than the standards are between each other) or national standards, it’s one of those things you can usually understand from the context or just learn it at the spot. They are mutually intelligible, just like different accents of English are or German in Germany and Austria. Perhaps they are even more similar even more than English accents since you know there aren’t seas between Croatia and Serbia like there is between England, Australia and the States. :D

[@fivantvcs9055]

@@nestorvilla3605 This is just that there is a not an universal name for it. Outside of former Yugoslavia, it is possible to say 'Serbocroatian'. Maybe a practical name could be 'Yugoslav'. Inside the four Serbocroatian languages countries the phrase 'naš jezik' exists ('our language). The fact is depending your standard : Serbian, Montenegrin, Bosnian or Croatian you call it one of these four names. Probably because it neutralises the debate with the nationalists.

My teacher once told us the difference between Serbian and Croatian. She explained it as: Serbians: kuća (house/home) - domaćica (housewife) Croatian: dom (home) - kućanica (housewife) However it makes more sense to say: dom - domaćica; kuća - kućanica. But in reality it isn't so. So to avoid the confusion I say that Serbian and Croatian are like English in America and Great Britain. You understand everything but we have different accent, few different phrases and we also have Cyrillic.

[@Djole_NS246]

It is a nice anecdote, but the claim is not completely true. Actually, the word "kuća" means "House", and basically applies to the building, but "dom" has a wider meaning which is "Home" as a place where we live, worm nest for family (where your Heart is :)). So "Housewife" is someone who works at home, and can be rented as a professional worker, while "domaćica" (is there a word - Homewife?😊 ) is someone who takes care of her own home and family and is not employed on some other job, so these are two different, if I may say, "roles", where Serbian form "domaćica" is much precise and comprehensive.

Bok. Prvo da velim, nisam stručnjak po pitanju jezika ...

A kaj se tiče učenja jezika u školi (u osnovnu sam išao od '81-'82 do '88-'89), predmet se službeno zvao hrvatski ili srpski jezik, a ne hrvatskosrpski. Čirilicu smo učili u trečem razredu (bez nekog velikog pritiska), a strane jezike smo počeli u četvrtom. U mojoj školi od stranih jezika su se učili njemački, engleski i ruski.

There is no doubt of the near 100% mutual intelligibility of (standard) Croatian and (standard) Serbian, as is obvious from the ability of all groups to enjoy each others’ films, TV and sports broadcasts, newspapers, rock lyrics etc. Differences between various standard forms of Serbian (some people call it Croatian or Bosnian or Montenegrin etc.) are often exaggerated for political reasons. Most Croatian linguists regard Croatian as a separate language that is considered key to national identity. Exposing this delusion of separate language publicly and scientifically will annihilate their sense of nationhood.

[@dejanmajstorovic254]

@Ivica Radić Removing the name of language (CROATUAN, or Montinegroan, or Bosnianhercegouvian) as they are symbol of their existence of nation does not deny their existence. Language, as Croatians do not have any, does not present a basis for their identity. Croatian are basing their identity on some other aspects for which they are well known by beyond Balkans. Embracing their other aspects of identity will ensure their existence, as very few nations will be able in clear conscience to embrace same values.

I need to point out some things. You can also use the future tense with the infinitive in Serbian e.g. "Ja ću ići", or "ići ću". It is used a little bit less than "Ja ću da idem", but it's very very common. The northern you go, the more it's used. Serbian has both ekavica and ijekavica. You're right about "vrhnje", few people would understand. In Serbia we call it "pavlaka". We also have mileram, I've seen that product in the stores, but I'm not sure what it is xD And about the other words, everybody knows what mrkva, kruh, kino, škare, otok are... And I think marelica is a type of apricot in Serbian. It's strange that she says her textbooks were called Hrvatski jezik, because even in the 90's in Serbia, our textbooks were called Serbocroatian language.

I don't want to stir the RAT by it's tail, but I love both Croatian and Serbian as one language with 3 dialects ( including Bosnian). Romanian language also has 3 dialects, but I understand the political reason for it. Mir je bolji od rata. Hvala vam. (Sorry for my rusty Croatian)

​@@CroatianExperiencewithSanda Sorry for my delayed response. Yes, I know a lot about Former Yugoslavia, especially about Hrvatska, Srbija, Bosna i Crna Gora. Also about the language (I still watch movies trying to not forget the language). The history of this region is fascinating and also very tragic. Romania was also divided in 3 ( and now in 2 with Rep. Moldova) but we still think about ourselves as a nation (this is why is strange for me, even if we count in the religion aspect of Hrvatska, Srbija i Bosna ).

Već po tome kojim si komentarima dala srce a koje izignorisala, pitam se da li uopšte gledati ovaj video do kraja (da, mi koristimo infinitiv isto, nisam napisao da li da gledam video do kraja, a pišem začudićeš se srpskom varijantom). Bitan deo 》》》 Lingvistički je u pitanju jedan jezik, policentrični, sa više dijalekata, a on se upravo iz političkih razloga različito naziva u različitim državama na Balkanu. Takođe više je sličnosti između štokavskog narečja kojim govori Hrvat u Slavoniji i štokavskog narečja kojim govorim ja iz Beograda, dakle više je sličnosti u govoru tog Hrvata i Srbina nego tog Hrvata iz Slavonije sa onim iz recimo Varaždina koji priča kajkavski... Ipak i kajkavski i štokavski ćete nazvati hrvatskim, a jedva da će se razumeti, ali je jako bitno ukazati na sve razlike sa srpskim i zatim ih nazvati različitim jezicima? :) Različite smo nacije, jezik je isti baš kao i između pomenutih Australijanaca i Britanaca. Uprkos insistiranju hrvatskih nacionalista na razlikama i sumanutim pokušajima da hrvatsku varijantu jezika unakaze do mere neprepoznatljivosti i samim Hrvatima, to će uvek biti jedan isti, jedinstveni i nedeljevi srpskohrvatski ili hrvatskosrpski jezik.

Linguistically speaking, it’s one polycentric language. The example of US vs British English is a good one. Or German spoken in Germany vs Austrian or Swiss German. Or Portuguese spoken in Brazil vs Portuguese spoken in Portugal. Furthermore, the differences in vocabulary are mostly known and understood by everyone. Football in Serbian is “fudbal”, which is a loan word from English. Football in Croatian is “nogomet”. “Noga” means leg in both Croatian and Serbian and -met describes an activity in both Croatian or Serbian. In other words, Nogomet is descriptive in both Serbian and Croatian: a game played with your legs. Both Serbian and Croatian speakers know both variants, hence when you have a Croatian and Serbian speaker talking about football, with one asking the other “did you watch last night’s football?” - “Jesi li gledao fudbal sinoć?”, the other replies with “of course, I love football!” - “Naravno, obožavam nogomet!” On the other hand, the sport of Handball is called “rukomet” in both Serbian and Croatian. “Ruka” means hand in both Croatian and Serbian, so the word “rukomet’’ follows the same exact descriptive principles as does “nogomet”, but is this time used by both. The example od “mrkva” vs “šargarepa” (carrot) is another good example. As someone from Bosnia, I use the word “mrkva”, but I don’t register when someone says “šargarepa”, I immediately understand it as if they had said “mrkva”. Another difference in vocabulary is regarding history. The word for history in Croatian is “povijest”, while in Serbian it’s “istorija”. I use both quite interchangeably as someone from Bosnia, as do many novelists. My point is that the differences in vocabulary and grammar are so minute that they’re often quite interchangeable and I often don’t know which is which. I would say that the biggest difference between the linguistic variants in terms of vocabulary are the Croatian months. The months in Croatian are protoslavic and descriptive (siječanj, veljača, ožujak, travanj etc), while the months in Serbian are from the Gregorian calendar (januar, februar, mart, april etc). From my experience, the only differences in vocabulary that form a barrier are the Croatian months, which are not understood by Serbian speakers, while Croatian speakers understand the Serbian months because they’re the same in English and most other languages. This is usually circumvented by the fact that Croatian speakers, when speaking with Serbian speakers number the months. They don’t say “siječanj” for January, they say “prvi mjesec” - the first month. In the video you mentioned the differences between the word island. In Croatian it’s “otok”, while in Serbian it’s “ostrvo”. The difference is interchangeable, hence Serbian speakers who vacation on Croatian islands use the Croatian word “otok” instead of the Serbian word “ostrvo”, when speaking about Croatian islands. When I speak about, let’s say, Greek islands, I use the word “ostrvo”, but when I talk about Croatian islands I always say “otoci”. Here’s another funny example: the word for house in Serbian is “kuća”. The word for house in Croatian is “Dom”. The word for housewife in Serbian is “domaćica”. The word for housewife in Croatian is “kućanica”. A complete inversion. All of this is why instead of saying Croatian or Serbian languages, I prefer to use the terms Western and Eastern variants of Serbo-Croatian, as much as it might not be politically correct. As far as the Latin and Cyrillic alphabets are concerned, both languages are standardised in a way so that they can both be written using both alphabets. They were standardised in the 19th century as one language by Croat, Ljudevit Gaj and Serb, Vuk Karadžić. Each Latin letter has it’s equivalent in the Cyrillic alphabet, so technically speaking, Cyrillic is equally a Croatian alphabet as is Latin. It’s just not used in Croatia, which is completely fine, but it’s technically incorrect to say that Latin is Croatian and Cyrillic is Serbian. Just as the letters y and x don’t exist in both the Serbian and Croatian Latin alphabets, which is the exact same alphabet with the exact same letters that represent the exact same sounds, the Russian or Bulgarian or Ukrainian Cyrillic alphabets contain letters that don’t have equivalent sounds in Serbian or Croatian. In other words, it’s impossible to write many Croatian words in the Russian Cyrillic alphabet because some letters just aren’t compatible with the language and it’s sounds. On the other hand, Croatian can be written in the Serbo-Croatian Cyrillic alphabet because the language has been standardised for the Cyrillic alphabet just as it has been for the Latin alphabet. In other words, our language - call it what you want - is the only language in Europe that has been standardised for two different alphabets, which is pretty neat.

It is not the best comparison since within Portugal we do not have dialects however In Brasil there are a lot. As a Portuguese living in The NEtherlands and never ever have seen all the Brasilians sopas on the Portuguese television I was not exposed to some Brasilian dialects. Which means that I have HUAGE problems understanding anything some brasilians say while a friend of mine from São Paulo was easy to understand. So I get from Serb Croats friends that a very good comparsion is between standard Dutch in NL vs standard Dutch in Belgian which we mostly understand. Belgians do have more French words (a lot I think) which sometimes got a Germanic (Flemish) variant that is completely meaningless to us. But in general I think Serbian and Croatian is more like that.

In Croatian house is also kuća, and dom means home.

@@milosmilosic2632 Serbian is based on Stokavian dialect. It’s a dialect spoken by Serbs, Croats and Bosnians. What is a language is an interesting debate. There’s a dialect continuum in South Slavic languages all the way from South Austria to the Black Sea coast. If language was based purely on linguistic similarity between dialects you would have three distinct languages in Western South Slavic. It would be Kajkavian, Cakavian and Stokavian. Torlakian spoken in South Serbia would be Eastern South Slavic. But definition of a language is more complicated and there are other non linguistic factors. All nations are imagined communities. Slovenian and Kajkavian speaking people belong to different communities although linguistically they are one grouping of similar dialects. Torlakian speaking people identify as Serbs, Macedonians or Bulgarians despite speaking the same dialect.

[@adrianomilovan3645]

Video je odličan. Hvala. U komentarima je dosta nerazumijevanja kakva je bila situacija u ex YU, vidim da se mnogi čude kako to da nije bila ista situacija u školama u Hrvatskoj i u Srbiji. Vrlo jednostavno: SFRJ je, kako joj i sam naziv kaže, bila složena (federalna) država, a školstvo (obrazovanje) bilo je u nadležnosti republika, a ne federacije. To znači da je svaka republika (federalna jedinica) imala svoj sustav školstva i svoj program, a ti programi nisu bili isti. 1) NAZIV JEZIKA: U SR Hrvatskoj je službeni naziv jezika (tako je pisalo u svim dokumentima, uključujući i republički Ustav) bio "hrvatski ili srpski jezik / hrvatski književni jezik". Tako je pisalo i u školskim svjedodžbama. Međutim, nitko ga tako nije zvao, svi smo ga i u vrijeme Jugoslavije zvali samo i jedino hrvatski jezik. Koliko se sjećam, u ondašnjim SR Bosni i Hercegovini, Crnoj Gori i Srbiji službeni naziv jezika bio je "srpskohrvatski", iako su ga u Srbiji pojednostavljeno zvali samo srpski. Za BiH i Crnu Goru ne znam. 2) ISTI ILI RAZLIČITI JEZICI?: Iskreno, mi smo i u tadašnjoj SR Hrvatskoj smatrali da to nije isti jezik, nego dva vrlo slična, ali ipak različita jezika. U svim dokumentima koje je izdavala SFRJ (dakle, federacija, ne republike), sve je pisalo na 4 jezika - srpskom ("istočna varijanta", kako se tada govorilo), hrvatskom ("zapadna varijanta"), slovenskom i makedonskom. Tko ne vjeruje, neka uzme, recimo, putovnicu / pasoš bivše države, ili neki takav dokument (ne osobnu iskaznicu jer su njih izdavale republike i jako su se razlikovale među sobom), ili novčanicu dinara iz tih vremena, pa se i sam može uvjeriti. Činjenica je da su se hrvatski i srpski jezik sve do sredine 19. stoljeća razvijali zasebno, a da pokušaji njihovog ujednačavanja u dvjema Jugoslavijama u praksi nisu dali rezultata. Naprotiv, postali su izvor frustracija i nacionalizma. Činjenica je i da danas hrvatski i srpski imaju svaki svoj rječnik, pravopis i gramatiku, što su osnovni dokumenti svakog jezika. Činjenica je i da je Hrvatska ulaskom u EU unijela hrvatski jezik (ne "srpskohrvatski") u EU kao jedan od službenih jezika Unije i pod tim nazivom se pojavljuje u svim dokumentima i web stranicama EU. Ovime ne želim reći da se međusobno ne razumijemo - naprotiv, jako se dobro razumijemo - ali jako dobro se razumiju i Danci, Norvežani i Šveđani, kao i Česi i Slovaci, ili Indijci (hindu) i Pakistanci (urdu), pa nitko ne inzistira na tome da su to isti jezici... 3) LATINICA I ĆIRILICA: U školama u SR Hrvatskoj ćirilica se počinjala učiti u 3. razredu. Jedino što smo mi od ćirilice imali bilo je nekoliko tekstova godišnje u udžbeniku iz hrvatskog jezika. Svi ostali udžbenici bili su isključivo, samo i jedino na latinici, i tako je bilo do kraja i osnovne i srednje škole. Drugim riječima, ćirilica se u SR Hrvatskoj učila samo na način da se znaju osnove tog pisma. U BiH, CG i Srbiji učila su se ravnopravno oba pisma. U BiH su svi udžbenici bili pisani i latinicom i ćirilicom, i to do te mjere da je jedna strana udžbenika bila na latinici, a druga na ćirilici. Za CG i Srbiju ne znam, pretpostavljam da je naglasak ipak bio na ćirilici. U SR Hrvatskoj ništa od toga nije bio slučaj. Većina ljudi je ćirilicu znala na elementarnoj razini (pročitati je), pisati ju je znalo puno manje. U svakodnevnom i u javnom životu nije se koristila. Svi javni napisi su bili samo na latinici. Mislim da su izuzetak od tog pravila bile onih 11 tadašnjih općina sa srpskom većinom, među kojima su najveće bile Knin i Glina, gdje se ravnopravno koristila i latinica i ćirilica, ali tamo je i tada malo tko putovao. Ne isključujem mogućnost da je tako možda bilo i u još nekoliko ondašnjih općina u kojima su Srbi imali značajan udio u stanovništvu, poput Pakraca ili Petrinje, ali ne mogu to tvrditi jer se ni tamo baš nešto nije puno išlo. 4) STRANI JEZICI: I kod učenja stranih jezika bile su velike razlike među republikama. U Hrvatskoj (i Sloveniji ) dominantan strani jezik u školama i tada je bio engleski. Dosta su se učili i njemački i talijanski, a francuski i ruski vrlo malo. Negdje sredinom 80-ih objavljeno je da se u samo 10 posto škola u SR Hrvatskoj uče francuski i ruski, dok su njemački i talijanski bili prisutni u 40 posto osnovnih škola. Engleski se učio u znatno više škola (60+ posto). Međutim, trebate voditi računa da su se 80-ih godina, u pravilu, već učila dva strana jezika, pa je tu bilo raznih kombinacija (engleski i njemački, engleski i talijanski, engleski i francuski itd.). Obično su se strani jezici počinjali učiti u 4. razredu, iako je 80-ih već bilo pokušaja da se počnu učiti i ranije (od 2. razreda). Važno je reći da je učenje stranih jezika u SR Hrvatskoj bilo prilagođeno potrebama turizma, a tu ruski nije puno pomagao, pa se nije ni učio, pogotovo ne na obali. Ne znam kako je bilo u ostalim republikama. Znam samo da su mi tada pričali da se u BiH dominantno učio ruski, osim u velikim gradovima (Sarajevo, Banja Luka,...), gdje se dosta predavao (i) engleski. U CG je navodno (opet zbog turizma, a i zbog povijesti) vladala podjela u školama na ruski u sjevernom dijelu i talijanski u južnom, primorskom dijelu. U Srbiji se, osim ruskog, dosta učio i francuski, pogotovo u Beogradu, gdje je u školama bilo i dosta engleskog jezika. 5) SLOVENSKI I MAKEDONSKI JEZIK: U školama u SR Hrvatskoj nisu se učili ni ni slovenski ni makedonski jezik. Smatralo se da su to "bliski" i "domaći" jezici, a ne strani, i da su razumljivi pa ih ne treba posebno ni učiti. Jedino je u udžbeniku iz hrvatskog jezika bio po jedan ili dva teksta na godinu na slovenskom i obično jedan na makedonskom, i tada su nastavnici u nekoliko minuta izlifrali osnove ta dva jezika. Ispod tih tekstova je obično bio i kratki rječnik s objašnjenjima slovenskih i makedonskih riječi koje nisu bile iste kao u hrvatskom. No, nijedan od ta dva jezika se nije posebno učio, čak ni kao izborni predmet. S druge strane, u Sloveniji i Makedoniji se hrvatski ili srpski jezik (u stvarnosti, srpska ili "istočna" varijanta) obavezno učio u osnovnoj školi, ali kao poseban predmet (ostali predmeti su im bili na slovenskom, odnosno na makedonskom jeziku). To je bio i jedan od razloga što su Slovenci bili ljuti jer su smatrali da nije u redu da oni moraju učiti hrvatski ili srpski jezik, a mi ostali ne moramo učiti njihov jezik. Ne znam kakvo je bilo raspoloženje oko toga u Makedoniji.

Ni ja nisam zvanični stručnjak u oblasti lingvistike, ali sam veliki ljubitelj različitih jezika i kultura, pa se, pored učenja stranih jezika, često bavim izučavanjem dijelekata i narečja. Kako bi bilo jasnije koji je moj maternji jezik, navešću da sam rođena u SFRJ (Jugoslavija) 70-tih godina prošlog veka. Kako sam živela na teritoriji današnje Srbije, u okviru školskog programa učila sam srpskohrvatski jezik. Ovaj se jezik smatrao i službenim jezikom države, a ravnopravno su bila u upotrebi dva pisma, ćirilica i latinica. Sam školski program, iako je većina udžbenika bila štampana na ekavici (korišćenoj u tadašnjoj republici Srbiji), u okviru predmeta srpskohrvatskog jezika sadržao je izučavanje svih dijalekata i narečja koji su bili u upotrebi na teritoriji Jugoslavije. Ovo je uključivalo i značajna književna dela autora današnjih različitih država u "regionu". Ono što bih posebno istakla, a u vezi je sa pitanjem šta se smatra mojim maternjim jezikom, odgovoriće istovremeno i na pitanje kakve su razlike između aktuelnih jezika u državama nastalim raspadom SFRJ. Dakle, iako sam rođena u centralnoj Srbiji, potičem iz južnih krajeva Srbije gde se "u narodu" koristi (ili je bar dugo odolevao iskorenjavanju) govor potpuno drugačije gramatičke strukture u odnosu na službeni jezik, bilo da govorimo o srpsko-hrvatskom, hrvatsko-srpskom ili o današnjim zvaničnim jezicima Srbije, Hrvatske, BiH i Crne gore. U ove četiri navedene države, kada je reč o službenim jezicima, mogu zaključiti da postoje daleko manje, gotovo neznatne razlike u odnosu na suštinske razlike između službenih jezika i pojedinih dijalekata unutar svake od država. Kako srodstvo jezika određuje gramatička osnova, a ne terminologija (što je česta zabluda), mislim da sam naziv jezika nema ništa više od političke uloge. Jezik je živa stvar, menja se i prilagođava, prihvata uticaje i širi uticaje. Ono što je ozbiljniji problem za sve nas koji nalazimo lepotu u svakom jeziku je opasnost od umiranja mnogih dragocenih oblika verbalne komunikacije koji nemaju status priznatog jezika. To je blago koje svet potpuno zanemaruje. Uzgred, prokomentarisala bih kratko segment videa koji prikazuje različite oblike istovetnih rečenica na hrvatskom i srpskom jeziku. Verujem da Vaši zaključci proizilaze iz iskustva u neformalnoj komunikaciji sa osobama koje koriste sprski jezik, međutim, gramatika ovog jezika je definisana nešto drugačije. Npr. rečenica "Ja ću ići...", pravilno bi bila iskazana u srpskom jeziku na dva načina: "Ja ću ići... " i "Ići ću...". Oblik "Ja ću da idem..." je neispravan i potpuno nepoželjan, ali, na žalost, previše ukorenjen u redovnoj neformalnoj komunikaciji. Da bi zlo bilo veće, srozavanjem svih vrednosti današnjeg društva u Srbiji, upotreba žargona, gramatički nekorektnih i neispravno formulisanih rečenica je postao sastavni deo javnog života, a posebno se oslikava u usmenom i pisanom izražavanju predstavnika države, te i ne čudi da se stiče utisak da su to prihvaćena jezička pravila. Kada su u pitanju pisma, dodala bih lični utisak u vezi sa upotrebom ćirilice, kao nametnutog isključivog služenog pisma Srbije. Koliko god da politički nacionalizam pokušava da nametne besmislena pravila, latinično pismo je bilo i ostalo najčešće upotrebljavano pismo u Srbiji. Ćirilica se koristi samo u krajnjoj nuždi, isključivo u pojedinim slučajevima kada izvesne institucije ne priznaju dokument izrađen na latiničnom pismu. Ova besmislica ne može prirodno zaživeti u narodu, bez neke posebne zakonske prinude. U nekom dužem vremenskom rasponu i ovo nije nemoguće, jer je na isi način ijekavica "ugušena" u Srbiji, iako je korišćena na široj teritoriji današnje države. Konačno, ako ste rođeni negde na Balkanu i uspeli ste da rastumačite ovo što sam napisala, nije li potpuno nevažno kako ćemo taj jezik nasloviti?

OMG. Croatian, Serbian are the same language and the same as Bosnia and Montenegrin. There are some very minor differences, and some different regional words sort of like in the southern USA you might say Y'all, or "bill fold" for wallet or "fillin' station" for gas station but an American from Texas can 100% an American from Brooklyn New York. So with Serbian and Croatian... they are 100% mutually understandable in the standard Stokavian form. Now Slovenian and Macedonian are different languages partially intelligible and asymmetrically.

It is basically Croatian. The Serbian language uses plenty of Turcisms. Same goes for the Bosnians. Serbs are writing cyrillic letters, Croats are using Latin letters. The first Serbian book was printed 300 years after the first Croatian book. Vuk Stefanovic Karadzic literally copy and pasted Croatian linguists Marko Marulić and Bartol Kašić who lived 250-300 years before Karadzic. And Karadzic copied them while he was living in Vienna and during a time when Serbia was part of the Ottoman Empire and Turkish language was the official language in Serbia. So if all these people are using the same language then it’s the Croatian language. There is not a single poet or writer from Serbia or Bosnia from the 14th century until the 19th century. While Gundulić, Hektorović, Marulić, Kašić etc were all Croats from Dalmatia.

Hello, I am a student of the Faculty of Philology in Belgrade and I just want to say that making future tense with DA + prezent like in your example in Serbian is considered INCORRECT even though many people use it like that. It's not considered as something very wrong in spoken language but in written it should be JA ĆU IĆI :)

[@RobinPM100]

Aleksandar Popov so in fact, it is the same 😁

[@CroatianExperiencewithSanda]

In theory 😀 I wonder how the languages will develop further.

[@CroatianExperiencewithSanda]

Thank you for your input! It is great to have your opinion on the subject from an "official" perspective. Do you have any knowledge on whether more than 30 years ago the same rules you mention apply? Because I remember reading quite a few serbian books which were published during Yugoslavia, and this verbal construction with DA + prezent was a constant in the literature.

[@srcolesl]

Croatian Experience with Sanda hmm well I can’t say for sure but I think it was always like that concerning the future tense. When it comes to DA+ prezent its very common and also correct in the case where there is a modal verb, for example: Volim da pevam, hoću da idem, ne znam da igram tenis, etc. I know that in Croatian in this case its more common to use infinitive, so maybe that’s why you noticed so much DA+ prezent. But when it comes to future tense it should be ja ću videti and not ja ću da vidim and its a common mistake. Keep in mind that in Serbian its also correct to say volim pevati and it depends on the person which version they’ll use. :)

[@RobinPM100]

First, there was Serbian as literature language and official language in Kingdom of Serbia (before in Principlity of Serbia etc...). Croatia did not exsist and Croatian language also. There was Austro-Hungarian empire with German, Hungarian and Latin language as official. There was not Croatian. After, in Yugoslavia, there was the same Serbian language as official, just called Serbo-Croatian in second (Tito's) Yugoslavia. This was base for making Croatian language as official, they just removed prefix "Serbo" and made Croarian as official in independent Croatia (for first time 1992). I speak about official and literature languages of independent countries. So, it's the same language (Serbian), now in Croatia called as Croatian, in Serbia as Serbian and in Bosnia as Bosnian.

How do Croats and Serbs distinguish each other? Can they do it right away within a few seconds?

[@sagorevach]

I strongly recommend you both to not talk about this as you have just embarrassed yourselves because you dont understand the grammar of serbian language and it`s forms, Ja cu ici - I will go, Ja cu da idem - I am going to go. Its the same point but just different form of expression ("Nije sija nego vrat"). And in order to understand why is it the same language, you need to read history books, starting from converting some part of serbian populatino to catholicism... Anyway, while serbs have the book "Gospel of Miroslav" written in serbian language in 12th century (which proves the authentic and undisputed existence of serbian language), croatians have none of their OWN national language written staff so old which means they "borrowed" ours during the conversions, mixing, wars and before that they used german, hungarian, as they were always part of someone else. If there is something so old, show me, I would like to see that language they wrote in medieval, and you can google the gospel and see it (in addition to that, serbian official letter is cyrillic but also equally write and read latin which is being learned in elementary schools). So it leaves the answer as its all serbian language (in Bosnia too, Montenegro too). For example, brits say defence, americans defense, brits say apiologise, americans say apologize and on and on... does it divide them in two languages? no, its all English but just US and UK spoken.. same with Australia, New Zealand, blah blah... Same with spanish... So, its 90% serbian, with some croatian local altered names which are funny like they call chess - .rukomrdajuce mozgodrkalo. But, however, I realised the truth has no value in this time, place and planet anymore since long time ago, so call it martian language if you want and if it makes everyone happy. Good bye

On the Dutch television we had all kinds of programs for immigrants and news of their homecountries. So Yugoslavia was there too and it was called Servokroatisch which means Srpskohrvatski. So in NL the language was known as Serbocroatian.

[@jaysimoes3705]

So when we talk I start to remember some things....So one time two kids were counting in their fathers language, they said. They were a bit younger than me and lived in the neighbourhood here in my town in The Netherlands. They were counting to five and I rememeber she said (the sister of 8 and brother of 5) "peet". Which means five of course. So I was may be 12 and asked what language it was. She said "Croatian" which was meaningless to me. But now I wonder...Because that came the day of 6 January. And these kids were at our doorstep singing songs about the Three Kings. Now in NL this is meaningless, but still my mother knew something about it. She gave them candy and asked them to come in, for good reasons. I remember this because first of all I thought "hey, these kids again!" and also because I pitied them a lot. It was almost dark, near 17.00 hours, super bright, lots of snow and at least -15 C. And from the look at them both really felt it was very cld outside. Such a strange scene really. Three Kings? Kids singing outside when it is bittercold and my mom giving them candy??? But now I wonder: is three kings someting Catholic or Orthodox? I am confused a bit. I would not expect Croats (and I am 100% sure they were) to somehow celebrate Orthodox celebrations or am I wrong?

[@draganostojic6297]

In Serbia while it was Yugoslavia we always referred to the language as Serbocroatian not as Serbian. It was considered parochial to refer to it as Serbian because we considered us as a part of a bigger and more important entity called Yugoslavia. Sadly we regressed after the breakup as some nationalists think they achieved something. It’s a small Balkan mentality that prevailed sadly

Evo sad. Razumijem da sada hrvatski i srpski su dva različita jezika, ali ljudi trebaju znati ovo od lingvističkih točka gledišta. Španjolac sam, i naučio prvo hrvatski, do A2 nivoa, pa onda srpski, zato što trebao sam promeniti profesoricu. Zato kažem da sam naučio obe jezike. Pričam obično ono što se zove "srpski jezik", čak i s mojim prijateljima u Zagrebu. Bio sam čak i više puta u Hrvatskoj nego u Srbiji, a ljudi kažu da "odlično pričam hrvatski", ali u Srbiji da "odlično pričam srpski". Evo, što znači ovo onda? Koji jezik govorim? Vjerujem da, od lingvističke točke gledišta, hrvatski i srpski moraju biti isti jezik, ne može drugom načinom, čak i više za strance koji žele naučiti vaš jezik (ovo je baš zanimljivo, i ogromna čast za vas). Srbi će razumijeti ovu poruku sigurno, koju sam trebao napisati "hrvatskim jezikom" (sigurno mi fali nešto), jer hrvatski i srpski su jedan jezik, ali pluricentralni.

Com a estudiant de filologia catalana, jo concorde amb el teu missatge respecte de la diferència entre català i valencià. En el nostre cas, els catalans i valencians (i els habitants de les Illes Balears) compartim grafia, normes ortogràfiques, accentuació, un 95% de vocabulari de tot el que existix en un diccionari. No hi ha hagut mai cap problema de comprensió. Quan passarà este missatge pel traductor, tu voràs que posarà 'missatge traduït del català'. No obstant això, tot el missatge està escrit d'acord amb les regles del valencià, que són les mateixes regles del català. Així que mai poden ser considerats dos idiomes diferents. És igual que l'anglés britànic i anglés americà.

Standard Croatian and Standard Serbian are both based on the same dialect. This was done purposefully to make Croatians and Serbians become more similar (Illyrian Movement). This was political effort. So, yes, in essence they are the same language. However, had they chosen a different Croatian dialect as the standard, they would not be considered the same language. Maybe a comparison would be to have the Spanish and French both create a standard language based on Catalan. Would that mean that the Spanish and French are the same people? No. Does that mean the French dialects are the same as Spanish ones? No. And that is where the issue comes into play.

11:55 in Serbian you can also say "Ja cu ici" to be honest "ja cu da idem" sound stupid and no one used this particular sentence . You can even use "Ici cu" In other words Serbian is more universal , because you can use near everything like in this example, "Svet/Svijet" not only one of them like in Croatia is only "Svjet" and of course Cyrillic and Latin alphabets are both official, not like in Croatia only Latin :) So if you want to speak every variant of this Lagrange consider steady the Serbian variant ;)
