Humor

Razumevanje humora na stranom jeziku nije lako, jer osim što zahteva visoke jezičke kompetencije, često zahteva i poznavanje istorije, kulture i društvenog konteksta. Međutim, to ne znači da oni koji uče naš(e) jezik(e) ne treba da pokušavaju da se upoznaju i sa našim humorom. :wink:

Mislim da je dobro da imamo temu gde možemo stavljati smešne slike, tekstove, video snimke i slično, a možemo i da objasnimo ako nekome nije jasno.

Za početak:

Pročitao sam ovaj link. Zabavno je, ali malo tužno. Ima li još nešto?

Stručnjaci za indirologiju nisu sigurni da li tekst glasi "ajvar si proždrnuo" ili "avon si proždrnuo". Da li je indirin sponzor prehrambena ili kozmetička industrija?

Srpski jezik je od Boga! Čovek ceo svet objašnjava trima srpskim rečima: kurac, pička i jeb. On priča prvih desetak minuta, posle nije toliko zanimljivo.

A man showed me a cigarette pack from Bosnia. It had one of those standard "smoking kills" warnings, in three languages.

"Okay, the Cyrillic is Serbian. But can you tell which of the other two is which?"

I scrutinized the box, looking for one of those tiny word variations that always get shoehorned onto product packaging just to present a token difference when the text is too simple to have one naturally. But I found nothing - on this particular pack, the words were 100% identical in all three iterations. I gave up.

"Pa vidiš da ova završava točkom a ova tačkom!"

True story.

(For lack of a more literal translation: "Don't you see this one ends with a full stop and the other one with a period!")

Does Bosnia seriously have "trilingual" signs and stuff? I know that Bosnian, Serbian and Croatian are all "official" but I assumed that they wouldn't bother with something so pointless, and find a way around it...

It's a matter of recognition and identity. People find it important to not be the same as their neighbours. "This is not in my language! It's in those other people's language! Why would they get to be addressed in their own language and I wouldn't? I've got rights!"

As you know by now, many of the differences between the languages are authentic. But many others have been exaggerated and polarized exactly by this kind of a practice on product packaging and similar snippets of text. People go out of their way to make texts in different languages more different.

1. Say Atlantean uses only the word "lift", and Lemurian uses mostly "lift" but also sometimes "elevator".
2. "Hey boss, you wanted Atlantean and Lemurian versions, but they're really 100% the same for this product." - "I dunno, then write 'elevator' in place of 'lift', just to make one version distinctly Lemurian."
3. A couple of years go by, other people copying this solution.
4. Now you can't use the word "lift" in Lemurian anymore at all. If you try, people say "Why are you forcing Atlantean on me? That's not my language! The correct Lemurian word is 'elevator'!"
Then you show them a hundred attestations of "lift" in Lemurian books and magazines up to 3 years ago, and they say "That's obviously a remnant of the old communist language hegemony which used to be run by Atlanteans forcing their language on us."

(Using an abstract example with English words here because I don't want to single out any particular situation; this happens all six ways in Bosnia. And yes, apparently every possible group was in charge of the old communist language standardization and government in general, except the group of the person telling you about it.)

See if you can find a legible picture of a Bosnian ID card somewhere online. It's got labels that to me translate e.g. as
