Questions & Answers about Rok važenja je na vozačkoj dozvoli.
What does rok važenja mean exactly?
Rok važenja means expiration date, validity period, or more literally the period of validity.
- rok = deadline, term, period, time limit
- važenja = of validity / of being valid
So the phrase is not word-for-word the same as English expiration date, but it is the normal Serbian way to express that idea in many contexts.
Why is it važenja and not važenje?
Because važenja is the genitive singular form of važenje.
The base noun is:
- važenje = validity
In the phrase rok važenja, the second noun depends on the first one, like period of validity in English. Serbian often expresses this with the genitive:
- rok važenja = period of validity
- datum rođenja = date of birth
- broj telefona = phone number
So važenja is there because it means of validity.
