Did you know?
- The Serbian word риба for 'fish' is used as a slang compliment to describe an attractive woman, though calling someone a тилапија would not carry this meaning.
- Because tilapia is an exotic import in the Balkans, seeing тилапија on a menu usually indicates the fish was frozen or processed rather than freshly caught.
- In Serbian, the word тилапија follows the same phonetic pattern as many other imported biological terms, ending in -ија, which often signals a Latin-based loanword.
Examples in context
- Kao glavno jelo, danas sam naručio pastrmku afričku.As the main course, today I ordered tilapia.
