U današnjoj epizodi govorimo o greškama koje sami Srbi prave dok govore - i da, i mi ih (često) pravimo.

Kao što smo već spomenule, greške su normalne u svakom jeziku, bez obzira na to da li govore maternji govornici, ili učenici tog jezika. Jedina razlika je što će te greške biti drugačije.

Razgovaramo takođe o tome šta se dešava ako većina ljudi govori na neki određeni način, iako je to "gramatički nepravilno" - međutim, ukoliko se nešto uvuklo u svakodnevni govor, koliko je zapravo pogrešno?

Koje je vaše mišljenje o ovome? Da li mislite da jezik treba prirodno da se menja, ili treba da pazimo o gramatici? Pišite nam na TikToku, Instagramu ili YouTube-u!

In today's episode, we are discussing the mistakes that Serbians themselves make while speaking - and yes, we (often) make them, too.

As we have already mentioned, mistakes are normal in any language, regardless of whether they are made by native speakers or learners of that language. The only difference is that those errors will be slightly different.

We also discuss what happens if most people speak in a certain way, even though it is "grammatically incorrect" - but, if something has crept into everyday speech, how wrong is it, really?

What do you think about this? Do you think language should change naturally, or should we be careful about grammar? Write to us on TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube!
