ipmia&sii  IB®® 


Oerbo-Croatian  is  the  language  of  about 
14  million  Serbs  and  Croats  in  Yugoslavia.  You  will  some- 
times hear  people  referring  to  Serbian  and  Croatian  as 
though  they  were  two  entirely  different  languages  but  there 
is  probably  no  greater  difference  between  them  than  there 
is  between  British  and  American  English.  The  Serbs  and 
Croats  understand  each  other  without  any  difficulty  and 
this  Phrase  Book  will  serve  in  any  part  of  Yugoslavia.  In 
the  few  cases  where  the  Croatian  word  is  different  from 
the  Serbian,  both  words  are  given. 

There  is  a  great  difference  in  the  writing,  since  the  Serbs 
use  an  alphabet  of  the  Russian  type  while  the  Croats  use 
one  like  our  own.  Both  the  Serbian  and  Croatian  spellings 
are  given  in  the  Phrase  Book. 

This  Phrase  Book  contains  the  Serbian  and  Croatian 
words  and  expressions  you  are  most  likely  to  need.  All  the 
words  are  written  in  a  spelling  which  you  read  like  English. 


Each  letter  or  combination  of  letters  is  used  for  the  sound 
it  normally  represents  in  English  and  it  always  stands  for 
the  same  sound.  Thus,  "oo"  is  always  to  be  read  as  in  too, 
boot,  tooth,  roost,  never  as  in  blood  or  door. 

Syllables  that  are  accented — that  is,  pronounced  louder 
than  others — are  written  in  capitals.  Curved  lines  (w)  are 
used  to  show  sounds  that  are  pronounced  together  without 
any  break;  for  example,  "KwNIG-eh"  meaning  "books." 

Special  Points 

Here  are  a  few  points  to  note: 


E  or  EH 


DJ 


H 


as  in  let,  met,  men.  Example:  "GDEH" 
meaning  "where." 

stands  for  the  sound  we  have  in  meas- 
ure, usual,  division,  occasion.  Because  we 
have  no  single  letter  for  this  sound  in 
English,  we  write  it  in  your  Phrase 
Book  as  " ) . "  Remember  that  "  j "  always 
stands  for  the  sound  in  measure,  never 
for  the  sound  in  judge.  Example:  "po- 
KA-jit-eh"  meaning  "Point!" 

stands  for  the  /-sound  we  have  in  judge, 
George,  joke.  Example:  "GO-spo-dja" 
meaning  "Mrs." 

with  a  dot  under  it  stands  for  a  strong 
^-sound  at  the  end  of  a  syllable.  Exam- 
ple: "PLAHH-ta"  meaning  "sheet." 


How  to  Use  the  Phrase  Book 

The  Table  of  Contents  lists  the  situations  covered.  Try- 
to  become  familiar  with  the  contents  of  the  Phrase  Book 
so  that  you  will  know  where  to  find  a  given  section  when 
you  need  it.  In  each  section  you  will  find  a  number  of  ques- 
tions, each  one  so  phrased  that  the  Serbian  or  Croatian 
speaker  will  answer  Yes  or  No,  point  out  the  direction, 
give  you  a  number,  etc.  If  you  don't  get  an  answer  you  can 
understand,  use  one  of  the  following  expressions: 


English 

Answer  Yes  or  No 


Show  me 


Write  it 


Write  the  number 


Pronunciation 

oad-go-VO-rit-eh

You  can  also  point  to  the  question  in  Serbian  or  Croatian 
and  ask  the  Yugoslav  person  to  point  to  the  answer: 


Point  to  the 
answer  in  this 
book

The  word  for  "please"  is  "MO-lim." 

Please  show  me  MO-lim     po-KA-  Mojihm  noKa^CHTe  mh 

jit-eh     mee  Molim  pokaiite  mi 

It  is  a  good  idea  to  memorize  the  words  for  Yes  and  No, 
the  numbers  (at  least  up  to  ten)  and  other  expressions  you 
will  constantly  need. 

To  help  you  with  the  pronunciation  of  Serbo-Croatian, 
a  set  of  phonograph  records  is  issued  with  the  Serbo-Croatian 
Language  Guide  (Introductory  Series),  TM  30-346. 


Fill-in  Sentences 

Many  of  the  expressions  are  given  in  the  form  of  fill-in 
sentences,  each  containing  a  blank  which  you  fill  in  with 
any  of  the  words  in  the  list  that  follows.  For  example,  if 
you  want  to  ask  for  food,  you  can  look  in  the  section  headed 
Personal  Needs  under  Food  and  Drink.  You  will  find  an 

expression  for  "I  want "  and,  in  the  list  following.it, 

the  word  for  "food."   You  then  combine  the  words   as 
shown  here: 


I  want 

HO-choo 

Xohy 

Hocu 

food 

HRA-neh 

xpaHe 
hrane 

I  want  food 

HO-choo     HRA- 

Xohy  xpaHe 

neh 

Hocu  hrane 

Sometimes  the  blank  has  to  be  filled  out  by  the  name  of 
a  city  or  a  person.  For  example: 


ow  far  is ? 

KO-lik-o    yeh 
OOD-ahl- 
yen ? 

Kojthko  je 
y^ajBeH ? 

Koliko  je

q  ALPHABETICAL 
WORD  LIST 


In  Serbo-Croatian  the  form  of  a  word  often  changes 
according  to  the  type  of  sentence  in  which  it  is  used.  For 
example,  the  simple  form  of  the  word  "room" — SO-ba — 
is  used  in  a  sentence  like  "This  is  the  room"  (O-vo  yeh 
SO-ba).  However,  another  form  of  the  word — SO-boo — is 


English 

accelerator,  122 

address,  50,  70
