Serbian A2 to B2 Video Lesson

Marina Accusative in Serbian , Conditional Sentences in Serbian

Serbian A2 to B2 Video Lesson

Here comes a video lesson which will help you practice Serbian at different levels.

As you can see, there are three phrases.

Serbian A2 Video Lesson - Accusative

The verbs such as TRAŽI - to search VIDETI - to see or VOLETI - to love (jesti, piti, slušati, gledati, kupiti, naći, etc.) trigger the Accusative case endings in the words that follow it (these can be not only nouns, but also numbers and adjectives in front of the noun)

What does ti mean?

It will change the upcoming word(s) in such a way that

anything that is in singular, ending in -a, will drop the -a and change to -u. For example: čokoladA ... Tražim čokoladU = I am lookin for chocolate :o)

Serbian B1 Video Lesson - Genitive

The following prepositions:

pored - next to
između - between
ispred - in front of
iza - behind
ispod - under
iznad - above

trigger the Genitive case in the words that follow them:

Example: Jaje je pored slaninE. (the nominative case is: slaninA)

Singular:

-A>>> -E
slanina - slanine
torta - torte
kruška - kruške
lubenica - lubenice

-anything else >>> -A

mleko - mleka
jaje - jajeTa
đus - đusa
sok - soka
tiganj - tiganja
hleb - hleba
sir - sira

Serbian B1/B2 Video Lesson - If Clauses

Potencijal = Second conditional or If Clauses in English
(or If I could..., I would... or If I had, I would...)

DA+ PRESENT, JA BIH + GLAGOL+o/la

Da mogu da jedem lubenicu, ja bih je (po)jela.

KAD BIH + GLAGOL+o/la, JA BIH + GLAGOL+o/la

Kad bih mogla da jedem lubenicu, ja bih je pojela. Prevod: If I could eat a watermelon now, I would eat it.

Textbooks for Learning Serbian - Where are Kids?

Marina locative in Serbian , Textbooks for learning Serbian

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:

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?

Srpski 102 - Lokativ, drugi deo

Marina locative case in Serbian , locative in Serbian

I am sure you managed to find all the page numbers in the book Ko je ko? Here comes a mobile friendly exercise to help you with pages number 28 to 26. Have fun

Don't forget to flick through the pages in the sample version. If you like it, the book can be purchased through Amazon, or at a special price for the bulk purchase, for the followers of the blog through my BookMe page :)

Serbian for Kids - Locative Case Fun Way

Marina locative case in Serbian , locative in Serbian

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
KOSA - 22 je na kosi
TRAMPOLINA - 24 je na trampolini

Words ending in a consonant (Masc. Sg.) or -E/O (Neut. Sg.)

BALON - 5 je na balonu

OBLAK - 7 je na oblaku

CVET - 9 je na cvetu

DRVO - 11 je na drvetu

ŠORC - 13 je na šorcu

TOBOGAN - 15 je na toboganu

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 :)

Learning Serbian Cyrillic with Easy to Read Books

Marina easy Serbian , Practice Serbian Cyrillic Script

I am happy to announce that my third book with easy texts both in Cyrillic and Latin alphabet, Who is Who, has been published!

Let me remind you of the first two books, which you can read along with me on my Youtube channel and Patreon page:

Easy to Read - Šta možemo da vidimo na selu?

This book called "What you can see on the farm" is just the first part of the series covering animal and farm vocabulary, together with the most common verbs in Serbian.

Easy to Read - Gde je ključ?

In this second book, Where is the Key? I continue using the most common verbs which require the accusative case. We are also practicing introducing ourselves and our friends. There is also a task for you to find ONE hidden key. If you are having problems finding it, do let me know!

Easy to Read - Ko je ko?

In the third book, Who is Who, we are dealing with some similar names like Jovan and Jovana or Ivan and Ivana. Since they can be a bit confusing, we are trying to figure out who is who, by following our friends in search of one another. At the end of the book there is an Activity book where you need to find the hidden page numbers... a little bit of Locative case will always prove useful in the days to come :D

The Fourth Easy to Read book

The name of the fourth book is "What we like" and it is all about games and seasons we like. It is to be published in October. This one is the easiest of all, and I am sure you'll love it! Watch this space :D

Numbers and Addition in Serbian

Let's watch the video where you can see and hear numbers being added in Serbian. If you click CC you will be able to follow the English translation as well. If you decrease the speed, from normal to 0.75, you can practice your pronunciation :) Have fun!

For more advanced learners, there are a few, actually 3, questions:
1. Can you recognize the accent? Which one is it - Serbian or Bosnian or Montenegrin?
2. Could you hear the name of the famous scientist who is mentioned in the video?
3. Why are numbers 3, 6, and 9 magical?

Ordinal Numbers in Serbian - Part 1

Marina Learn Serbian online , Serbian online

Ordinal numbers in Serbian behave as adjectives, so they change according to the noun's:

number (singular or plural - prva kolona vs. prve kolone)
gender (masc. fem or neuter - prvi red vs. prvA kolona vs. prvO mesto)
case (after the basic form of Nominative, there will be all six cases - prvi čovek - prvog čoveka - prvom čoveku - prvog čoveka / prvi hamburger - prvi čoveče - sa prvim čovekom - o prvom čoveku)

That's why we are starting just with a very simple list of 12 ordinal numbers in masc. sg. Nominative to learn the form, hear it, pronounce it and practice it.

In our next lessons we'll be practicing more complex structures with the ordinal numbers in Serbian :)

I know it looks complicated, but it can be fun, and it is certainly good for your brain!

The list of exercises both in the Latin and Cyrillic script can be found on my Patreon page.

Serbian History Exercise with Video - Part one

Marina Advanced Serbian , comprehension exercises

While watching the video try to figure our which sentences I changed and which synonims I used. You can also try to solve which numbers 1- 5 are missing. After the careful comparison, try to do the additional exercises:

with numbers and adjectives (in the Latin alphabet)
with nouns (the Cyrillic script - still under construction)

Godine .1. slovenska plemena su našla novu domovinu na teritoriji nekadašnjeg vizantijskog Ilirika.

Od reka Save i Dunava pa sve do Peloponeza, Sloveni su pronašli domovinu. Te teritorije na kojima žive Sloveni, vizantijski pisci zovu Sklavinijama. To su plemenski organizovane oblasti u kojima je središnja vlast poglavara ograničena.

Nekadašnja metropola Ilirika ostaće kod Slovena poznata kao Caričin Grad. Imena stotine vizantijskih gradova biće zauvek izgubljena - a sećanja na njih zameniće opšti slovenski pojam za napušten grad "gradina" ili "gradište".

Učeni vizantijski pesnik, Georgije Pisida u Carigradu , piše stihove o teškim vremenima koji su zadesila njegovu zemlju. U jednom stihu kaže da se i Varvari međusobno bore: Avar ubija Slovena i potom biva ubijen - i time su ometeni u vođenju jedinstvene borbe. Na osnovu ovog usamljenog podatka, pretpostavlja se da je .2. godine, nakon neuspele avarsko-slovenske opsade Carigrada, došlo do značajnih sukoba Avara i Slovena.
