Adjectives in Serbian - Part 6

While I am working on my new series of Serbian language courses, I prepared for you a video lesson with a bunch of adjectives, with the verb TO BE and forming simple sentences such as:

DA LI SI LEP/LEPA? - Are you beautiful?
DA LI JE ON UPLAŠEN? - Are you scared?
DA LI STE ZDRAVI? - Are you healthy?
DA LI JE TVOJ SIN GLADAN? - Is your son hungry?
DA LI JE TVOJA ĆERKA GLADNA? - Is your daughter hungry?
DA LI SU TVOJE ĆERKE GLADNE? -Are your daughters hungry?
DA LI SU TVOJI SINOVI GLADNI? - Are your sons hungry?
DA LI JE TVOJ AUTO STAR? - Is your car old?
DA LI JE HLEB JEFTIN? - Is bread cheap?
DA LI SU PSI STARI? - Are the dogs old?

Although I didn't write down my short answers, pay attention to them :)

JESAM - NISAM
JESI - NISI
JESTE -NIJE

JESMO -NISMO
JESTE - NISTE
JESU - NISU

For all of you who told me you LOOOOOVE my new cartoons, here's one covering this topic:

Maybe you have noticed that I started creating a series of different video lessons recently. They are going to make up a completely new course, which is based on all your wishes and needs you've been sharing with me since January.

The idea behind the course is for you to:

learn the vocabulary sets first
try to guess what's missing in the series of fun and colourful comics with captions in Serbian Cyrillic, Latin script and English.
do lots of fun exercises based on the dialogues and texts
become proactive by sending me your short texts, dialogues and voice recordings to get my feedback.

Hope you like my first video lesson. Before to listening to me, mute the audio first and try to guess which words are missing :) Have fun!

Verb Conjugations in Serbian - Present Tense of Go

Marina Conjugations , learning to conjugate

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?
