This is my thousandth post and I prepared a humungous riddle but decided not to post it. Instead I did something more personal... In the next seven topics I’ll present you 21 Serbian riddle. Translated by yours truly. These riddles were passed on by generations. Most of them consist of archaic words. They are very simple, poetic and insightful. Most of them were just word games, hence impossible to translate. These, that I did manage to translate, are not literal translations. They are more and less true to the original, but I think I did a fair job and managed to keep their spark. I hope you’ll enjoy them...

#1

I can walk across the sea,

Without wetting my feet.

#2

Sitting in a trench,

Outside the city,

Hair is touching the sky,

But it ain’t pretty.

#3

Bird without teeth,

The whole white

World can eat.

No.

Something that flies can eat something that is white! With no teeth. Think wider...

Nope... :lol: Adkins...

You have to identify the EATER but in order to do that identify the WHITE thing that's been EATEN!

Go to the options button (next to the rate button) and switch to the LINEAR

it could be milk and babies

The previous answers were FIRE AND SMOKE and MOON, I kinda group the answers together by similarity of their answers. When I say WHITE think bigger (much bigger) when I say a BIRD think as big as it can get (not the bird but the thing that personification stands for!!!)

The white could be innocence and the bird could be time

Nice try... However

these are old Serbian riddles and those people were making riddles about things they were perceiving... Mostly nature and inanimate objects.

These three riddles are about nature...
