Popsati

Popsati is a term with limited attestation in South Slavic language varieties. It is not listed in major standard dictionaries and does not have a fixed meaning in formal registers. The form appears in a small number of dialectal or informal texts, where it is treated as a verb formed with the common Slavic infinitive suffix -ati. Because of its scarcity, popsati does not have a standardized definition across communities.

Etymology and senses: The word is generally seen as either a regional variant of a related form such as popisati, meaning to describe or enumerate, or as an onomatopoeic creation derived from the sound “pop.” In the few recorded usages, its sense remains unstable and highly dependent on local speech practices.

Usage and distribution: Due to limited attestations, popsati is not considered part of the standard language in Croatian, Serbian, Bosnian, or Slovenian varieties. It is primarily encountered in informal speech, dialect notes, or online content from speakers who may be using a playful or idiosyncratic formation.
