Platiti račun

platiti račun

Pay the bill

Settling a debt or invoice.

🌍

문화적 배경

The 'fight' for the bill is a sign of respect and friendship. It is common to hear 'Ne dolazi u obzir!' (Out of the question!) when someone else tries to pay. In modern Belgrade cafes, splitting the bill is becoming more acceptable among students, but it is still polite to ask 'Da li delimo?' (Are we sharing?). In business, the person who invited the other party is strictly expected to pay the bill. There is no splitting in professional contexts. In a traditional kafana, the waiter might keep a 'tefter' (running tab) for regular guests, and they pay the 'račun' at the end of the night or even the week.

💡

The 'Eye Contact' Rule

In Serbia, you don't need to shout for the bill. Just make eye contact with the waiter and mimic writing in the air with your hand.

⚠️

Check the Bill

Always check the 'račun' for 'usluga' (service charge). It is usually not included in Serbia, so a tip of 10% is appreciated.

Perfective vs Imperfective

Remember: 'Platio sam' (I paid - done) vs 'Plaćao sam' (I was paying - process). Use 'platiti' for the actual act of handing over money.
