Vibruje

Vibruje is a verb form found in several South Slavic languages that means “it vibrates” or “is vibrating.” It is commonly used in everyday speech to describe objects or devices that produce vibration, such as mobile phones, alarms, or mechanical components. The form is familiar to speakers in informal contexts and can appear in media aimed at a general audience.

Etymology and related forms: Vibruje is linked to the root vibro-/vibr- that underlies the concept of vibration in many languages. In more formal or standard varieties, the action is typically expressed with the verb vibrirati and its present-tense forms (for example, vibrira for “he/she vibrates”). The exact conjugation depends on language and dialect, and vibruje is often encountered as a colloquial or dialectal variant.

Usage notes: The primary use of vibruje is descriptive, referring to the moment when a device emits a vibrating motion. It can also appear in figurative speech to convey a sense of activity or tension. Common examples include phrases like “Telefon vibruje” (The phone is vibrating) and “Uređaj vibruje ustaljenim ritmom” (The device vibrates at a steady rhythm). In formal writing, speakers may prefer the standard forms of vibrirati, but vibruje remains widely understood in casual communication.
