Podnosilac normalno diše.

Podnosilac is in the nominative singular. It is the subject of the sentence, the person who is doing the action of diše.

So the basic structure is:

• podnosilac = subject
• normalno = adverb
• diše = verb

This is a very normal Serbian word order for a simple statement.

Podnosilac is a fairly formal or administrative noun. Depending on context, it can mean things like:

• applicant
• submitter
• claimant
• person filing something

It comes from the idea of submitting or filing something, such as an application, request, complaint, or claim.

So this is not a casual everyday word in most contexts; it sounds more official.

Serbian does not use articles like English the and a/an.

So podnosilac can mean:

• the applicant
• an applicant

Which one is meant depends on context.

That is very common in Serbian, and learners often need time to get used to the fact that definiteness is usually understood from the situation rather than marked with a separate word.

Here, normalno is an adverb, because it modifies the verb diše.

It tells you how the person is breathing:

• diše normalno = breathes normally / is breathing normally

This form looks the same as the neuter singular form of the adjective normalan / normalna / normalno, but in this sentence it is functioning as an adverb.

That is very common in Serbian: adverbs are often identical in form to the neuter adjective.

Diše is the 3rd person singular present tense of the verb disati (to breathe).

A quick present-tense pattern:

• ja dišem = I breathe / am breathing
• ti dišeš = you breathe / are breathing
• on/ona/ono diše = he/she/it breathes / is breathing
• mi dišemo
• vi dišete
• oni/one/ona dišu

Since podnosilac is singular, the verb is also singular: diše.

In Serbian, the present tense often covers both meanings that English separates into:

• breathes
• is breathing

So Podnosilac normalno diše can mean either:

• a general statement, depending on context
• or a current observation, especially in medical or first-aid contexts

Serbian usually does not require a special progressive form like English does.

This is just how the verb conjugates in the present tense. The infinitive is disati, but the present stem changes to diš-:

• disati → dišem, dišeš, diše...

So the s changes to š in the present forms.

This is something you simply learn as part of the verb’s conjugation pattern.

Yes. Serbian word order is more flexible than English word order.

Both are possible:

• Podnosilac normalno diše
• Podnosilac diše normalno

The difference is mostly about focus or rhythm, not basic meaning.

Very roughly:

• normalno diše puts the adverb a little closer to the middle of the sentence
• diše normalno may sound slightly more like you are first stating the action and then adding how it is done

In many contexts, both are natural.

A rough English-friendly pronunciation is:

• podnosilac ≈ pod-no-see-lats
• normalno ≈ nor-mal-no
• diše ≈ dee-sheh

A few useful letter notes:

• š sounds like sh
• c sounds like ts

So diše is dee-sheh, not dee-z or dyesh.

Yes. Serbian uses both Latin and Cyrillic scripts.

In Cyrillic, the sentence is:

Подносилац нормално дише.

It means exactly the same thing.

Not necessarily.

Grammatically, podnosilac is a masculine noun, but in formal or legal language it can sometimes be used in a more general sense, depending on style and context.

In modern usage, you may also see feminine forms in some contexts, depending on the speaker, institution, or text style. But the form in your sentence is grammatically masculine singular.

Yes, it is grammatically correct.

However, podnosilac is a very formal noun, so the whole sentence sounds somewhat official or report-like. The phrase normalno diše itself is very common, especially in medical, emergency, or observational language.

So the sentence is natural if the context is something like:

• an official report
• a medical note
• a form or assessment involving a person referred to formally as podnosilac

In more everyday speech, a different noun might be more likely, depending on who the person is.
