Serbian Language Trivia Questions
1. This animal keeps to itself and is not so invasive due to dense forests and ample food supply. In Serbian how would you say "Bear"?

From Quiz Serbian Animals

Answer: Medved

"Bubasvaba", or cockroaches, are pests that inhabit many homes in Serbia. They scurry about when it is dark and feed on food scraps, dead skin, and book bindings. They are very hard to get rid of, and breed very quickly. "Kornjaca" is a turtle. Honestly I never saw one in my time spent living in Europe. I know they exist in ponds and rivers in Serbia; however, they are quite rare. "Muva" is a fly. Another pest that inhabits Europe, the common house flies are annoying and filthy. There are larger flies that are dangerous to humans and animals. We call it "Obad" which is a horse fly. They bite chunks out and come back for more. Did I forget to mention, they can smell blood from a mile away!

Answer: 30

Answer: Leptir

"Licica" is Serbian for fox. Foxes are common in wooded parts of Serbia; however, they avoid civilized areas so they are rare to see. They also camoflage very well with shrubbed areas and tall grasses. "Kokoska", or hens, are important animals in Serbia. People rely on them for their fresh eggs. When we cook the meat and make chicken we refer to the meat as "Pile". "Visnja" is Serbian for sour cherry. Most people prefer the juice to the actual fruit itself. It is also very good in jam with "palacinke", which is very similar to crepes. It makes for a wonderful dessert!

5. This word is commonly used to invite neighbours, relatives, or even passerby's to join you to the dinner table as a polite gesture.

Deer are "jelen", and are hunted in mountainous areas like Crna Gora for their leaner tasting meat. Very rare in sightings around civilized towns and cities.

10. The direct translation of the Serbian "Nilski Konj" is "Water Horse". What would we call actually call this creature in English?

From Quiz Serbian Animals

Answer: Hippopotamus

Seaweed (Alge in Serbian)is used as a food source for its high iron, but also used in spas for facials. Sea urchin (Morski jez) translates literally to sea hedgehog. They cover a lot of rocky beaches in shallow waters. Be very careful when wading in the water because it really hurts when you step on them, and the spines break off slowly releasing toxins. Starfish (Morska zvezda) are found on rocky beaches usually attached to the underside of rocks or rocky caverns at low tide. They digest their food outside their bodies!
