Introduction Module 4 Lesson 1

There are certain similarities and differences in the military life of the US soldiers and the soldiers of the TR. These differences and similarities will be introduced in this lesson. Most Yugoslav soldiers, for example, are not allowed to leave their unit even after the duty day is over. After dinner, before they go to bed, normally at 10 P.M., they are usually free to take time for themselves, but they must stay within the boundaries of the company or squad. They need permission to leave their unit almost always during the weekend, as a reward for good behavior or achievement or when their family or friends come to visit them.

Tip of the day

Learn this old saying today: Ко рано рани две среће граби – The early bird gets the worm.

Culture Notes Module 4 Lesson 1

Рутина

The Serbian word рутинаis a borrowed word. The word routine originates in French and is found in many European languages, including English. The French word routine is derived from French route, which has the same meaning as in English. (Also, you may know the French word rue - street). The idea of a 'well known route' or a 'well established way of doing things' has been retained in all the languages where this word is used. However, often times borrowed words acquire some specific shade of meaning. While in English routine is defined as "habitual or mechanical performance of an established procedure", in Serbian рутинаis "stagnation in business and in the way of life" and also something "very monotonous and boring" which may even cause depression, longing, yearning, or anguish.
