Abstract
The Serbian language is a highly inflected language with a complex morphological system that uses an extensive number of word affixes to express a wide range of grammatical, syntactic, and semantic characteristics. The present paper introduces contemporary Serbian noun-forming elements, processes, and patterns. Understanding the process of word formation makes it easier to learn Serbian as a foreign language, especially for speakers of agglutinative languages such as Korean.
