Wordplay: homonyms, the irony of word formation and zeugma

Everything you need to build and recognize genuine Serbian wordplay, in one path. Start with the three native resources a pun can exploit - true homonyms activated by context, an augmentative or diminutive applied against reality, and zeugma forcing one verb to carry two senses at once - then learn the vocabulary for naming exactly what a device is doing, take seven guided lessons that build from each resource's own words to correcting the mistakes a learner makes, listen to two old friends trade wordplay over coffee, read a short vignette about a grandfather who could never resist a good one, write your own story built around a genuine Serbian pun, and finally describe aloud a witty remark that actually made you laugh.

The path

Grammar, words and the first lesson are open — the rest comes with Premium
