Contexto cultural
Serbians are very active on Viber. It's common to receive 'Good morning' images or 'Slava' invitations via Viber messages. The 'Seen' culture is intense. If you don't reply to a 'poruka' within a few hours, people might think you are angry. Using 'ošišana latinica' (writing without diacritics) is standard for quick messages but seen as unprofessional in business. Younger people often use voice messages (glasovne poruke) instead of typing, but they still say 'Pišem ti' as a general term.
Use the Dative
Always use the dative case for the person you are texting (mi, ti, mu, joj, nam, vam, im).
Watch the Aspect
Use 'pisati' for the action of typing and 'napisati' when you want to say you've finished the message.
