Serbian for Kids - Locative Case
There are two parts in this video. In the first part you are just listening to me searching for and finding numbers. In the second part, I added the answer key to the left and right, so you can see why some words get an "i" at the end, and the others get an "u" at the end.
So, whenever you want to say that you are somewhere, we use the Locative case which will change the ending of the word which describes your the location. The same is with the numbers in this video.
Locative Case Fun Way
Words ending in -a (most of Feminine, Singular)
GDE su brojevi stranica?
OGRADA - 4 je na ogradi
ČARAPA - 6 je na čarapi
TRAVA - 8 je na travi
PATIKA - 10 je na patici
MAJICA - 14 je na majici
KOŠULJA - 14 je na košulji
ŠKOLA - 16 je na školi
KLACKALICA - 18 je na klackalici
PALMA - 20 je na palmi

KLACKALICA - 18 je na klackalici
PALMA - 20 je na palmi
KOSA - 22 je na kosi
TRAMPOLINA - 24 je na trampolini
Words ending in a consonant (Masc. Sg.) or -E/O (Neut. Sg.)

OBLAK - 7 je na oblaku
CVET - 9 je na cvetu
DRVO - 11 je na drvetu

CIRKUS - 21 je na cirkusu
KROV - 21 je na krovu
OBRAZ - 23 je na obrazu
LICE - 23 je na licu
U potrazi za ostalim brojevima = Searching for other numbers
Now it's time for you to search the other part of the book and write in the comments where all the other numbers are... I'm curious! Jedva čekam vaše odgovore :)

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!

While in the previous simple Serbian cartoons we ppractised the prepositions followed by the Genitive:
Serbian Genitive Task
I'm going to write the translations of these captions. Your task is to match them with colours :)
Boje (colours) su: narandžasta (1), crvena (2), tamno plava (3), ljubičasta (4), tamno ljubičasta (5), zelena (6)
today we are revising the same case, with words, both in Masc. and Feminine Singular, such as:
- Rim, London, Pariz >>> iz RimA, iz LondonA, od ParizA - Sg. Masc.
- Srbija, Engleska >>> iz SrbijE, iz EngleskE - Sg. Fem.
However, this time I am also introducing demonstrative adjectives this and these in Serbian:
This and These in Serbian
- for "she" (like in "this girl" - devojčica) >>> Ova devojčica
- for "he" (like in "this boy" - dečko) >>>Ovaj dečko
- for "it" (like in "this sun" - sunce) >>> Ovo sunce
- for they Masc. Pl or Masc. and Fem. Pl. together (like in "these people" - ljudi) >>>Ovi ljudi
- for "they" Fem. Pl.(like in "these women" - žene) >>> Ove žene
- for "they" Neut. Pl. (like in "these kids" - deca) >>> Ova deca
Serbian Genitive Task
I'm going to write the translations of these captions. Your task is to match them with colours :)
Boje (colours) su: narandžasta (1), crvena (2), tamno plava (3), ljubičasta (4), tamno ljubičasta (5), zelena (6)
- a) My village is more beautiful than Paris (the preposition "than" in comparison always requires the Genitive case)
- b) This one with an umbrella is from London for sure (the preposition "from" requires the Genitive)
- c) If they are from Rome, we are from Paris!
- d) If this sun sees me, it must think I am from Paris!
- e) This little one (=a girl) is surely from Serbia!
- f) These postcards from Italy are funnier than the ones from France!

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!!!
How do you like my first pro conjugation video?
Now that I have all the tools, I am sure you'll all enjoy my short video lessons about:
How do you like my first pro conjugation video?
Now that I have all the tools, I am sure you'll all enjoy my short video lessons about:
- verb conjugations in Serbian, both in the Cyrillic and Latin alphabet.
- short video stories, based on the video with conjugations
- short dialogues based on the texts and Serbian Phrases
- videos explaining Serbian idioms
- easy Serbian songs and chants for kids
Još jednom ogromno hvala mojim dragim pratiocima i učenicima koji pomažu održavanje ovog bloga i sve bolji kvalitet video lekcija srpskog jezika. Moje nove lekcije će izgledati super zahvaljujući Mirku, Milici i Milenki, Lari, Matiji, Dejanu i Danijeli, Marion, Pavlu, Dejvidu, Niku i Dženi i Jani!!!

If you liked the previous post about the common Serbian phrases, I am sure you will like the following set of phrases people tend to use in daily conversations when they meet the friends they haven't seen for quite a while.

Genitive in Serbian
Let me announce a series of blog posts about the Genitive in Serbian with exercises. Theory can be easy to learn, but what's more difficult is to actually produce correct sentences and phrases.

If you enjoyed learning Serbian by watching Neven or Poletarac or Kefalica, I am sure you will love "Slovo na Slovo" series, too :)
Monday, March 12, 2012
One of the best ways to learn a language is surely by watching relaxing and fun series, especially for kids, as the language is simplified and there's a lot of repetition. Let me share a few links to the ancient series called "Neven":
Tuesday, February 04, 2020
My latest textbook is finally visible on Amazon :) I have created a video lesson for you, based on the first few pages. This is just an introduction in which you can practice one of the most commonly confused language chunks in Serbian:
As you can see, the page numbers are here and there, so you can learn the following phrases:
- I am going to ... = idem u + accusative case e.g. idem u park - idem u prirodu
- I am in / at = ja sam u/na + locative case e.g. ja sam u parku - ja sam u prirodi
As you can see, the page numbers are here and there, so you can learn the following phrases:
- U gornjem desnom uglu = at the top right corner
- U donjem levom uglu = at the bottom left corner
- Na sredini = in the middle
This book also has all the letters (slova) of the Cyrillic alphabet hidden in it - all you have to do is look carefully. Once it was published it took me ages to find a few letters, they are hidden soooo well! The most important thing is that all 30 letters are in the book!
- Koliko ste našli slova?
- Gde ste ih našli?
- Koje slovo je bilo najteže naći?
Monday, July 23, 2012
Listen to this video and answer the questions, which refer to the interview with Nebojša Dugalić, in the second part:
- Koliko dece ima Nebojša ?
- Da li čita bajke svojoj deci ?
- Zašto on čita bajke svojoj deci ?
- Da li je "Ružno pače" film ?
- Kome je prvenstveno namenjen ovaj CD ?
- Da li Vi čitate bajke na srpskom ?
- Da li Vama neko čita bajke na srpskom ?
- Da li volite bajke ? Zašto ?
Listening comprehension for the pre-intermediate level :
- Does Nebojša have any kids ?
- If yes, how many ?
- Does Nebojša read fairy tales to his children ?
- Is "Ružno pače" in the video a film or just CD ?
