Banking and Money Vocabulary[edit | edit source]

Basic Banking Terms[edit | edit source]

Let's start by learning some basic banking terms in Serbian:

Serbian	Pronunciation	English Translation
банка	banka	bank
рачун	račun	account
кредит	kredit	credit
дебитна картица	debirna kartica	debit card
кредитна картица	kreditna kartica	credit card
идентификациони број	identifikacioni broj	identification number
корисничко име	korisničko ime	username
лозинка	lozinka	password

Opening a Bank Account[edit | edit source]

To open a bank account in Serbia, you will need to visit a local bank branch and provide the following documents:

A valid passport or identification card (лична карта - lična karta)
Proof of address (доказ о пребивалишту - dokaz o prebivalištu), such as a utility bill or rental agreement
Your identification number (јединствени матични број грађана - jedinstveni matični broj građana), which can be obtained from the relevant government authorities

Once you have all the necessary documents, you can approach a bank employee and say:

"Желео/ла бих да отворим банковни рачун." (Želeo/la bih da otvorim bankovni račun.) - "I would like to open a bank account."

The bank employee will guide you through the process and ask for the required documents. They may also ask you to fill out an application form (пријава - prijava) with your personal information.

Depositing and Withdrawing Money[edit | edit source]

To deposit money into your bank account, you can say:

"Желео/ла бих да уплатим новац на свој рачун." (Želeo/la bih da uplatim novac na svoj račun.) - "I would like to deposit money into my account."

The bank employee will ask for the amount you wish to deposit (износ - iznos). You can provide the amount in Serbian dinars (динар - dinar) or any other currency. They will then process the transaction and provide you with a receipt (потврда - potvrda).

When you need to withdraw money from your account, you can say:

"Желео/ла бих да исплатим новац са свог рачуна." (Želeo/la bih da isplatim novac sa svog računa.) - "I would like to withdraw money from my account."

The bank employee may ask you to confirm the amount you wish to withdraw (износ - iznos) and may also request your identification card or passport for verification.

Currency Exchange[edit | edit source]

If you need to exchange currency, you can visit a bank or a currency exchange office (менјачница - menjačnica). When approaching the counter, you can say:

"Желео/ла бих да разменим новац." (Želeo/la bih da razmenim novac.) - "I would like to exchange money."

The bank employee or exchange office staff will ask you for the amount you wish to exchange (износ - iznos) and the currency you have and want to exchange (валута - valuta). They will provide you with the exchanged currency along with a receipt (потврда - potvrda).

Asking for Help[edit | edit source]

If you need assistance or have any questions while banking, you can use the following phrases:

"Извините, да ли ми можете помоћи?" (Izvinite, da li mi možete pomoći?) - "Excuse me, can you help me?"
"Не разумем. Можете ли ми објаснити?" (Ne razumem. Možete li mi objasniti?) - "I don't understand. Can you explain?"
"Да ли говорите енглески?" (Da li govorite engleski?) - "Do you speak English?"

The bank employees are usually proficient in English and will be able to assist you.

Cultural Insights[edit | edit source]

In Serbian culture, banking and money matters are typically treated with great seriousness. Serbians value financial stability and often prioritize saving money for the future. It is common for individuals and families to have multiple bank accounts to manage their finances effectively.

Historically, Serbia has gone through significant economic changes, including the transition from a socialist system to a market-based economy. These changes have influenced the banking sector, leading to the establishment of private banks and the introduction of modern banking practices.

Serbia uses the Serbian dinar (српски динар - srpski dinar) as its official currency. The dinar is symbolized by the abbreviation "RSD" and is available in various denominations, including coins and banknotes.

Practice Exercises[edit | edit source]

1. "I would like to open a bank account." a) "Желео/ла бих да отворим банковни рачун." b) "Желео/ла бих да купим нови рачун."
