The two people/teenagers drinking energy drinks and chilling on the rock are so cute, they're the kind of crowd I would hang out with 🖤. Love how they're talking about typical Montenegrin stuff and still being themselves. But we do also say bleja or blejati in Serbia as well lol. It's like to chill or hang out somewhere without a particular reason or purpose.
see, the thing with "čuš" is that it can be used in a few different scenarios. For example: - when someone tells you something and you don't believe it you can go like "čuš to!" (in this sense it would be like yeah right...) - it can be used as a surprise to what someone told you for example: čuš to!? (it would be similar to maybe like no way?!) - it can be also used when you agree or confirm what someone is telling you just "čuš" or "ada čuš" most commonly (i think this one is most complicated one to explain but basically it would be like someone telling you something and you already know that it is how they say it is and you are just kind of agreeing with them hope this helps
First, you are so adorable. I hope you'll post more, you are one of THE nicest people ever to be seen on TH-cam or anywhere. I spent a month last fall and a month last spring in Montenegro, expecting (and to a degree hoping) to feel as though I were in a non-Western country. Did not happen. On the coast, it was Latin Europe with a Slavic language -- for good or for ill. I was truly surprised. It was my first time and I still can't get over it. Whether people still want to identify as Serbian has become a controversial point, but the cultures have evolved separately. It's just a fact. The Serbs and Montenegrins also have a long history of being separate countries at different times, not just over the past few decades, and the ancient Romans were concentrated on the Adriatic coast early in their imperial period, well before they went inland. Coastal peoples and landlocked peoples often evolve different cultures. In Montenegro, it is common for well-educated people to read Italian, and in the big supermarkets, the magazine rack will usually have only a few novels -- and those are almost always by Elena Ferrante in translation. Tells you a lot!
that's like the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me, thank you :) i'm curious what you mean by latin europe? you mean like spain? or literally the latin language countries? i personally think serbia is more western than montenegro when it comes to religion, societal norms, gender roles, etc. and I feel like, just IMO, it doesn't feel as central europe-ish as croatia is feeling now
@amerikanka Wow! To me, it is culturally so much like southern Italy, Spain, Portugal --- blew me away, I was not expecting it. How interesting. You understand the region far better than I do.
@@amerikanka yeah, tbh never heard about kenova before, but I assume it is from Italian, also Adio has been used way before, there is a song A sad Adio from tv series from 80s called Vruc vetar.
Čuš comes from Čuti and that means to hear. Čuli ti ovo - have you heard this ... but we Montenegrians love to short every word so ČUŠ is like shorter version of questioning reality of what you had just have heard. ADA ČUŠ means OFC - of course ... E ČU LI GA - have you heard what he was saying or E ČU Li JE - have you heard what she was saying ( Ga - for him , Je - for her, also IH - plural meaning THEM ) ... it is used both for sarcastic but also for questioning and for double checking something
"Bleja" Is used in Serbia and i bet Croatia and Bosnia as well. We use it A LOT to describe just like that dude said... Hanging out on a bench, not in a caffe. It also used to describe any social gathering in house for example and we use it to describe also the alone time at home, chilling... "Evo blejim" means im not doing anything important, im chilling.
@@amerikanka Its not blejimo SE, but just blejimo, which means we are doing the blejanje :D Bleja is the same word as blejanje, only in feminine gender- ta bleja. (blejanje is neuter gender- to blejanje), so its just a slang for blejanje constructed by changing the gender of that word. Why did i explain it this deep xD
Wait, so they don't call it Montenegro?! It's already been said in the comments, but there is a really beach-y vibe to the video, but like Pacific Northwest (Northern California, Oregon, Washington) beach vibe. Might be totally different inland, but from what we're shown, this is how this particular region feels.
Calling this language Montenegrin would be the same as people from Arizona telling people from Oregon that they speaks Oregonian. I mean even the most prominent Montenegro figures throughout the history were speaking Serbian, Montenegro King Nikola was explicit in this saying that Montenegrins are greatest Serbs of all. This stupid language separation happened unfortunately in the last 30 years and all of those languages are one of the same just with different accent, slang and some words used here and there depending on the region.
i don't think anyone called the language montenegrin. i think the nice turkish guy said "crnogorski" and then said "srpski" which is probably frustrating for him and all foreigners because he's just trying to learn the language but has to call it a million different names depending on who he's talking to... that's not his fault or any foreigner's fault. it's the politics of the balkans that created this situation. also, i think if people do say "crnogorski," that is the fastest way of saying "montenegrin dialect" which takes a longer time to say, so it is probably easier to just say crnogorski... but when i was talking to most of these people, they said "srpski..."
Jeste, baš kao što ne postoji Kanadski ili Australijanski, ali meni ne smeta da Hrvati zovu Hrvatski ili bilo ko da izmišlja novi jezik, jer ni Srpski nije nastao u kamenom dobu, svaki jezik evoluira i ne trebamo se fokusirati na etikete. Na primer razumem da Hrvati ne žele u školi da imaju predmet "Srpski" ili "Srpsko-Hrvatski" i zašto bi, kada svi znamo da se razumemo, a imaju dosta drugačijih reči.
