Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. This word means "bye" in Bosnian, and sounds just like the Italian word for "bye". It is well known in the USA too, and sounds like an American synonym for eat.

Answer: Ciao

Pronounced "chao", this word can also be used as a greeting! Similar to the French word "salut" which is also a greeting/parting expression, as is "aloha" in Hawaiian.

2. This word literally translates into "pie" in English, but can be made of potatos, cheese, meat, and more.

Answer: Pita

With cheese, it is "sirnica", meat is "burek", with potatos is "krompirusa", with greens (such as spinach) is "zeljenica". It is more commonly known as pita bread in the US, but that's not a pie. Pitas are also made of fruit and sweets, as are English pies, but the different is that pitas can be lunch/dinner, and not just desserts.

3. Which of the following Serbian foods is also a well known music band?

Answer: Riblja corba

Riblja corba is a kind of fisherman's stew.

Literally translates into English as "white button".

Answer: 30

There are 30, but Funtrivia cannot recognize some of the letters. As I list them, I'll put in parentheses how the ones I can't type are pronounced.

Notice that X, Q, Y, and W don't exist.

6. What English word translates into Bosnian as "God"?

Pronounced "B-ohg", it is used just as commonly in Bosnian as "God" is in the US, such as "Oh my God!". Translated is "Aj ti Boga!"

Answer: True

Latin and Cyrillic are taught in schools and used by most literate people, but Latin remains dominant.
