Present Tense of to Go
Here comes a short lesson with the verb IĆI = TO GO to in the Simple Present tense. The conjugations are as follows:
- Ja idem - ti ideš - on/ona/ono ide ///// mi idemo - vi idete - oni / one / ona idu
Common Serbian Phrases with this Verb
How can you use the verb IĆI to create the most common phrases:
- Gde ideš? = Where are you going?
- Kada ideš u školu? = When are you going to school?
- Gde ideš u kupovinu/prodavnicu? = Where are you going shopping?
- Zašto ideš na posao tako kasno? = Why are you going to work so late?
- Gde ideš na odmor svake godine? = Where do you go on holiday every year?
- Kad idete na odmor? = When are you going on holiday?
- Ko ide u školu? = Who is going to school?
- Ko ide sa mnom? = Who is going with me?
- Ko ide ka Beogradu? = Who is going to (towards) Belgrade?
- Kada ideš u Beograd sa mamom? = When are you going to Belgrade with me?
As you can see, this is a tricky verb, because it can be followed by nouns in different cases. The most common are:
1. Accusative with the preposition "u / na" = in or to, as in GO TO
examples:
a. Idem na posao.
b. Idemo u školu u 8 ujutro.
c. Idemo na odmor u avgustu.
d. Svake godine idem na odmor u Grčku.
e. Sutra idem u Beograd sa tobom.
f. Idem ( u Beograd) sa mamom u petak.
g. Deca idu u školu.
2. Instrumental with the preposition "sa" =with, as in GO with a friend
examples:
h. Baka ide sa mnom.
i. Idem ( u Beograd) sa mamom u petak.
j. Zato što idem biciklom.
3. Less frequently it will be followed by the Dative, with the preposition "ka / prema" = towards, as in GO TOWARDS.
examples:
k. Mi idemo ka Beogradu. Možete li da nas povedete?

I have tried to make simple conjugation videos before, but was never satisfied with what they looked and sounded like. Last week, thanks to my dedicated patrons on Patreon and my students of Serbian whom I've been teaching for years, I was able to afford the first professional version of the software which I have always dreamt of. HVALA!!!

The topic of today's lesson is the verb IĆI U/NA(to go to) followed by different places. Because of the preposition U/NA, which mean in/at/on in English, students tend to make a mistake and use the Locative case of a noun instead of the Accusative. However, since IĆI U is the verb which denotes movement, we can translate it with GO TO and then it is followed by the Accusative.
So, with today's Quizlet set we will be practicing:
So, with today's Quizlet set we will be practicing:
- different conjugations of the verb IĆI in its imperfective form: idem (sada) = I am going to (now).
- prepositions U vs. NA
- Accusative Singular nouns (there is a change only with the Feminine nouns, which drop the final A and add U)

Why Conjugations of Brijati - To Shave
While I was watching RTS1 today I saw a very interesting and insightful story about a very old "brica", a barber who works in "berbernica". I looked it up on Youtube, but couldn't find it on RTS1 Channel. However, there was a similar story which can be turned in another interesting lesson at an upper-intermediate or advanced level.
How to use this video and introduce relevant verb conjugations?
- As usual, it's always great to elicit the vocabulary based on watching the video, without the audio:
- BRICA - barber
- BRIJATI Present (brijem / brijes/ brije // brijemo / brijete/ briju) -to shave (impf)
- BRIJATI Past (brijao / brijala / brijalo // brijali/ brijale/ brijala) - shaved (past)
- BRIJANJE - shaving
- OBRIJAN - shaved
- OBRIJATI - to shave (perf)
- IZBRIJATI/IZBRIJVATI/IZBRIJAVANJE - to clean shave
- BERBERNICA
- Collocations: brijati + bradu/glavu, savladati brijanje, brijanje glave/brade, ucenje brijanja, vezbanje brijanja, oblikovanje brade
- Now, let's watch the video with audio this time and simply encircle the words, conjugations and collocations as you hear them.
- The last step is vocabulary practice, which is soon to be uploaded onto Serbian School website with videos and exercises.

If you have always wondered it there were any videos with conjugations in Serbian with the Cyrillic script, here they come :
With this video you can not only pronounce the Simple present conjugations of the verb "zvati se", but you can also practise its word order and asking and answering simple questions in the second part of the video. Which words are missing there ?

While in the first four lessons of the Serbian for pre-intermediate level there was the emphasis on the nouns and cases, in the previous post, the more important topic started to emerge - and that's the one of the verb conjugation system in Serbian. That's why I made this short universal Serbian conjugations video to help you practise the verb conjugations for verbs we'll be covering in the future:
How to use it:
How to use it:
- Decide which verb you want to conjugate - or the Latin script version
- Practise saying the verbs with the video - pay attention, in the second part of the video you have to figure out what the subject is (ja, ti, on/ona/ono, mi, vi, or oni/one/ona)
- In the previous lessons we did the verbs "ići", "živeti" and "govoriti" - if you can conjugate these verbs in the Simple Present, you are ready for the next step
