    It’s sounds like 3 mumbles followed by a word I understand and then repeat

    Like Bulgarian, but with more Romance words. I was able to understand maybe about 60%. Some words were of obvious Romance influence, as they are different from the Slavic equivalents (in my case I compare against Russian): drogi (Romanian: droguri, Russian: наркотики), rute (rute, пути), sigurne (sigur, уверено). I assume they mean drugs, route and sure.

    You are right. Serbian word is put (road) and it's use in everyday speech. Ruta is latinism which came to Serbian language via education in the last 100 years or so, and it's use only sometimes for road of drug (ruta droge) for example. My grandparents did not used word ruta, they did not know what that means.
    Vast majority of Latin origin words came to Serbian language since 19th century via education. More educated people use more Latin origin words like: lokacija (location), informacija (information), edukacija (education), špekulacija (speculation), rotacija (rotation) etc.
    Only Serbs from Dalmatia and Bay of Kotor used significant number of Latin/Italian origin words as illiterate peasants for centuries like my ancestors who used words like: ura (hour), škale (ladder), kapula (onion), šugaman (towel), šnjure (shoelaces), cukar (sugar), marenda (a snack), brokva (nail), šporko (dirty), katriga (chair), škatula (box), ćić (uncle, father's brother), lumbrela (umbrella), pomidora (tomato), gradele (barbecue), martelina (hammer), drito (straight) etc.

    These all exist in Russian too, as it was Frenchified heavily.

    On a separate note, I remember listening to a Serbian song called Perspektiva, first time that I ever heard Serbian, and I had to go back to listen if I heard correctly that the guy was saying "frigider", which means fridge in Romanian. Russian equivalent is "холодильник" and the Bulgarian word is also close to this.
    However, the weird thing is that "frig" means cold in Romanian, while in Serbian the word is "хладан", the root of which is shared with Russian and Bulgarian. So you get a situation, where "frigider" is a compound of "frig", but people are using it without knowing that.

    Official Serbian word is "хладњак" ("hladnjak") https://sr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Хладњак

    Вut nobody say like that, everyone say "frižider" ("фрижидер") for fridge.
