Računar is a computer and mobitel is a mobile phone.
How It Works
Most technology words are short and easy.
| Word | Meaning |
|---|---|
| računar | computer |
| mobitel | mobile phone |
| internet | internet |
| poruka | message |
| lozinka | password |
| punjač | charger |
Računar and mobitel are masculine, so use masculine words with them: moj mobitel, stari računar. Poruka and lozinka are feminine.
You also hear kompjuter for a computer, and mobilni telefon for a mobile phone in careful speech. All of these are understood. Newer words such as laptop and wi-fi are borrowed from English and often keep the English spelling.
For the case endings, treat them like any masculine noun: Nemam mobitel uses the accusative, and bez mobitela uses the genitive.
