A šta ti radiš u slobodno vreme ?

What happens when work is finished?

The question A šta ti radiš u slobodno vreme? invites a personal present-tense answer. Use an activity you genuinely repeat: čitam, šetam, kuvam or slušam muziku.

Serbian often links two verbs with da: volim da plešem, želim da slikam. The second verb still has a personal form.

A present tense built around real hobbies
