Serbian for Kids - Lesson 10

Marina exercises in Serbian , Serbian for beginners

While in the previous lesson of Serbian for Kids, I taught you how to pronounce furniture in Serbian and we played with the Present tense conjugations of the verb to have, today we are practicing rooms in a house/ flat and revising the previous lessons by playing games.

The words we are learning today are as follows:

Sobe = Rooms

TAJ HODNIK = hallway
TAJ BALKON = balcony
TA KUHINJA = kitchen
TA SOBA = room
TA SPAVAĆA SOBA = bedroom
TA DNEVNA SOBA= living room
TA DEČIJA SOBA = children’s room
TA RADNA SOBA = study
TO KUPATILO = bathroom

It would be perfect if you could download the pdf file, print it and try to learn, by playing Quizlet game https://quizlet.com/82682152/learn

The video version of this pdf is coming your way tomorrow on my Patreon blog - for the previous and upcoming versions check out this link!

His and Her in Serbian

Marina Serbian adjectives , Serbian for beginners

His and Her in Serbian

While his = njegov and her = njen sounds pretty easy and straightforward, there is a little catch. These are possessive adjectives and therefore they agree with the noun they describe. That's why they will have all kinds of suffixes to mirror the main noun in number, case and gender.

Today will stick just to the basic Nominative case and see how NJEGOV and NJEN mirror the gender of the nouns through the following exercises:

HIS and HER in Serbian with a funny photo

Simply look at the photo and write his shirt (njegovA košuljA) or her shirt (njenA košuljA), based on the position of the question in the photo:

Furniture in Serbian - Expand your Vocabulary

Marina furniture in Serbian , Serbian for children

In the previous month I posted a few exercises for you to practice how to pronounce rooms in a flat in Serbian. There was an exercise to help you write and read the same words both in the Latin and Cyrillic script. I hope you liked all the exercises.

Now it's time to expand the vocabulary and learn about the furniture in different rooms. Here comes an exercise with flash cards to help you hear and pronounce the words correctly!

Games with Furniture in Serbian

To simply recognize the words, play the Scatter game by pulling the photos over the words or vice versa.

When you are ready to practice writing and actively connecting photos with the words, enjoy playing

Gravity or

As usual, there is a vocabulary game, but this time it's a hangman game based on some of the words from the previous exercises.

Serbian for Children with Songs

Marina Serbian for children , serbian songs

A few weeks ago I started creating simple lessons for children who are learning Serbian across the world. At first I thought there would be lack of simple and fun songs for the first few lessons, but as it transpired I was wrong. On Nykk Deetronic's Youtube channel I came across a few great songs, such as:

as well as easy to understand short cartoons, such as

Today I would like to share a version of Nykk's "Pilići smo mi" by IDJKids, with additional fun exercises I created:

Learn about Serbian Verbs with Children's Songs

Marina Serbian for children , Serbian for kids

Another great song which all the devojčice i dečaci sing is "Ivin voz" by Dragan Laković . It's also perfect to introduce a complex lexical system of the Serbian verb (which mirrors English phrasal verbs as well as perfectve /imperfective aspects ) :

The Cyrillic script version:
Ћиху, Ћиху, ћиху-ху...

Из куће је излетео на улицу Ива
сав задихан захуктао к'о локомотива.

Видели га другови, па за њим и они
потрчали, захуктали к'о прави вагони.

Ћиху, Ћиху, ћиху-ху...

Сад улицом тако јури та чудна колона
то воз Ивин путује са седам вагона.

The Latin script version:
Ćihu, Ćihu, ćihu-hu...

Iz kuće je izleteo na ulicu Iva
sav zadihan zahuktao k'o lokomotiva.

Videli ga drugovi, pa za njim i oni
potrčali, zahuktali k'o pravi vagoni.

Ćihu, Ćihu, ćihu-hu...

Sad ulicom tako juri ta čudna kolona
to voz Ivin putuje sa sedam vagona.

Interesting verb lexicology:

leteti = to fly, IZleteti = to fly out of
huktati = to make a sound like a to train (figuratively: to complain) , ZAhuktati se = to gather speed (for a train, or when doing something)
trčati = to run, POtrčati = to start running
