As a Serbian language teacher with 20 years of experience, I find it important to introduce my students to the rich culinary culture of Serbia. In this lesson, we will learn vocabulary related to food and drinks in the Serbian language.

Foods

Serbian cuisine is influenced by Mediterranean and Ottoman cuisines. There are also distinct dishes that are unique to Serbia, such as:

  • Ćevapi - minced meat served in pita bread
  • Pljeskavica - a type of burger made from beef or pork
  • Ajvar - a spread made from roasted red peppers, eggplant, and garlic
  • Sarma - cabbage rolls filled with ground meat and rice
  • Kajmak - a creamy dairy spread served with bread or meat dishes

Here are some basic words you will need to know when discussing food in Serbian:

Serbian Pronunciation English
hrana /hrana/ food
doručak /doruchak/ breakfast
ručak /ruchak/ lunch
večera /vechera/ dinner
užina /uzhina/ snack
hleb /hleb/ bread
salata /salata/ salad
supa /supa/ soup
meso /meso/ meat
riba /riba/ fish
povrće /povrche/ vegetables

Beverages

Serbian cuisine also has some traditional beverages that you may enjoy. Here are some words for common beverages:

Serbian Pronunciation English
voda /voda/ water
kafa /kafa/ coffee
čaj /chaj/ tea
