How to cope with all different forms of Serbian pronouns, in different cases and with all the different endings? Well, there are many different ways, starting with old-fashioned grammar learning;
to using them in phrases, without thinking about grammar at all. What I find really efficient, is to listen to Serbian songs and learn the pronouns in common phrases, by singing :)
Let me share with you the following song: Za Njom by S.A.R.S.
Now that you have heard this song, sang along, and done the exercise, can you tell me which prepositions were there in front of "NJOM"?

Now, if we use these words in context, we can see how the personal pronouns referring to the same words can be often heard. Let's practice such sentences together!
Masc./Neuter Sg Nouns in Accusative >>> Corresponding Pronouns (on / ono >>> ga/njega)
- IME = first name.............................................Koje je vaše ime? Možete li da ga ponovite?
- PREZIME = surname.....................................Koje je vaše prezime? Možete li da ga ponovite?
- DEVOJAČKO PREZIME = maiden name....Koje je vaše devojačko prezimee? Možete li da _____ ponovite?
- MESTO ROĐENJA = place of birth...............Gde ste rođeni? Ponovite Vaše mesto rođenja! Možete li da ____ napišete?
- DATUM ROĐENJA = date of birth...............Kad ste rođeni? Ponovite Vaše datum rođenja! Možete li da ____ napišete?
- PASOŠ = passport.........................................Da li je ovo Vaš pasoš? Dajte mi ___ molim Vas!
Nouns which are Fem. Sg in Accusative >>> Corresponding Pronouns (ona >>> je / nju)
- LIČNA KARTA = identity card....................Imate li ličnu kartu? Dajte mi je, molim Vas!
- STALNA ADRESA = permanent address....Imate li stalnu adresu? Možete li da __ napišete?
- MEJL ADRESA = e-mail address................Imate li mejl adresu? Možete li da mi __ pošaljete
- ZDRAVSTVENA KNJIŽICA = health insurrance...Imate li knjižicu Dajte mi ___, molim Vas!
Masc/Fem/Neut Pl. Nouns in Accusative >>> Corresponding Pronouns (oni/one/ona >>>ih/njih)
- PASOŠI...................Imate li pasošE? Molim vas dajte mi ih!
- LIČNE KARTE...... Pokažite mi lične karte. Dajte mi ____, molim vas!
- IMENA .................. Kako se zovete? Koja su vaša imena? Ajde, ponovite mi ___ polako, molim vas!
- MEJL ADRESE.... Hajde da razmenimo mejl adrese! Možete li da mi ___ pošaljete još jednom, molim vas!

In the previous post you could see the different forms of pronouns in the Accusative case in Serbian:
Finally, when you feel confident using the pronouns in Accusative, let's sing the following songs in
There are quite a lot of verbs which require the Accusative, and "voleti" or "to love" obviously requires a direct object. Therefore you'll come across this form in many a song:
- MENE / ME Da li me voliš? = Voliš li me? (me)
- TEBE/ TE Ja te volim = Volim te (you)
- NJU / JU / JE Volim je / Bože, koliko je volim (her)
- NJEGA / GA Pustite da ga volim / Volim ga majko (him)
- NAS Da ima nas (us)*(couldn't find "love + us" songs, so I added "have + us")
- VAS Ja vas volim obe (you, Plural)
- NJIH / IH Volim ih (them)
The same goes for the verb ZVATI. Since we are going to practice Serbian with two songs with this verb, let's start with a bit of theory:
and then let's practice with a game:
If you like these Quizlet exercises, here's one more with the verbs to see and to go to (Videti i Ići u + Akuzativ)
Finally, when you feel confident using the pronouns in Accusative, let's sing the following songs in
- the Simple Present tense: Zovem te = I'm calling you
Zovem ______ zovem, a ti tako
nećeš da čuješ zov iz duše
zovem ______ zovem ko zna gde si
dok moji snovi već se ruše
Ref. 2x
Zovem ______ zovem, noću te sanjam
uzalud širim ruke svoje
zovem ______ zovem, al' čemu sve to
ti drugu ljubiš oko moje
Zovem______ zovem, a ti tako
ni pismom jednim da se javiš
zovem ______ zovem noći svake
a ti ne čuješ ili se praviš
Ref. 2x
Zovem ______ zovem, gde si mili
traže ______ moje vlažne oči
zovem ______ zovem srećni bi bili
javi mi dal' ćeš nekad doći
Ref. 2x
- the Simple Past tense: Zvao sam je Emili = I called her Emily
Poći ću u šume da ____ opet tražim
uz tišinu rijeke da ___ mirno sanjam
i dok mesec sija gledaću u zvijezde
ne bih li ___ sreo sretnu i daleku
aha, aha, aha
Zvao sam ___ Emili
u moj je san ko u svoj ušla dom
zbog nje se dan pretvorio u noć
i pjesme sve poludjele zbog nje
kao kiše prolećne
Zvao sam ____ Emili
u danima kad voljesmo se mi
od proljeća do kasne jeseni
zbog nje, zbog nje izgubio sam sve
čak i dobre drugove
Zvao sam ____ Emili
- the Future Simple tense: Zvaću te pile moje = I will call you my chick(en)

If you are familiar with the personal pronouns in Serbian in the Nominative case, it's time for you to their different forms through various cases.
The clever way is to approach these more complicated forms through the texts you've done before, using the pronouns instead of nouns. For example:
If we turn all the nouns into the corresponding pronouns, we would get a fun story:
However, the easiest way is to learn pronouns is through songs and exercises:

- Želim da kupim njih. = Želim da ih kupim.
- Da li imate njih, ali u plavoj boji? = Da li ih imate, ali plave?
- Da li možete da mi pokažete nju i njih = Da li možete da mi je pokažete i da mi ih pokažete?
- Želim da kupim nju, nju i nju i njih. = Želim da je kupim i želim da ih kupim.
Now I have two questions:
- What does each pronoun in bold refer to?
- What changes does the word order cause?
However, the easiest way is to learn pronouns is through songs and exercises:
- Personal pronouns in the Dative with "Kafu mi draga ispeci"
- Personal pronoun "we" in different forms with "Moja draga"
- Personal pronouns in the Accusative and possessive adjectives with "Dudo"
- Mixed personal pronouns with "Tako mi svega"
Since the courses Serbian 101 and Serbian 102 deal with the following cases:
- Nominative (JA - TI/VI - ON - ONA - ON // MI - VI - ONI)
- Accusative
in Serbian 102 I introduced the pronouns in the Accusative:
- Accusative (MENE / SEBE - TEBE/ VAS - NJEGA - NJU(JE) - NJEGA // NAS - VAS - NJIH)
In Serbian 201 I introduce the pronouns in the Locative and Instrumental case:
- Locative ( o MENI/ SEBI - TEBI - VAMA - NJEMU - NJOJ - NJEMU // NAMA - VAMA - NJIMA)
- Instrumental (SA MNOM/SOBOM - TOBOM - VAMA - NJIM - NJOM - NJIM // NAMA - VAMA - NJIMA)
and we will practice them together in the next post!
