Where are you today? Part 2

Marina locative case in Serbian , locative in Serbian

What do you want to do TODAY?
Šta želite da radite DANAS?

Today I am in Paris. I want to see the Mona Lisa.
DANAS sam u Parizu. Želim da vidim Mona Lizu.

While in the previous lesson we noticed that the Locative Singular ending was only -i, it was like that simply because we were in places which are in Feminine Singular (U Moskvi, Aziji, Evropi, Budimpešti...)

However, today we are in having fun in places which are Masculine Singular and that's why we add the suffix -u at the end of each place:

Ja sam danas u Parizu. = Danas sam u Parizu.
...Beograd >>> Beogradu
...Lisabon >>> Lisabonu
... Sidnej >>> Sidneju
... Niš >>> Nišu
...muzej >>> muzeju
... centar >>> centru

Marina has been a fantastic teacher. She has taken me from knowing absolutely no Serbian and brought me to a level where I am excited to live and thrive in a country where they speak Serbian. I have recommended her and will continue to pass her name along for other students who are interested in learning. I look forward to continuing to keep in touch with her. Katie, USA, 2014

I have been working with Marina twice a week through Udemy since late August and LOVE her and all of her videos and classroom work through Udemy. It is so helpful to be able to log in at any time during the day or night and listen and watch her videos. She breaks each lesson down very well and makes it simple to learn and to interact and practice on my own before our classtime. I will highly recommend Marina to other friends as well as Udemy!
