A Serbenda (Serbian: Србенда / Srbenda; plural Serbendas,[1] Serbian: Србенде / Srbende) is a Serb who is thoroughly and uncompromisingly devoted to all things Serbian.[2] Generally considered a term of endearment by Serbs, it can sometimes contain negative connotations, referring to nationalist aggression and heightened tribalism.[3]
Serbian writer and scholar Jovan Skerlić in 1925 described the "Serbenda" as being an "autochthonous, raw Serb, without a trace of anything foreign".[2][clarification needed]
University of Alberta professor of Cultural Anthropology Marko Živković says the term "carries the connotations of rusticity, simplicity, and traditional patriarchal values—the opposite of high culture polish and cosmopolitan sophistication".[2]
The word Srbenda (anglicized "Serbenda") is an augmentative of Srbin ("a Serb").[2]
