Listen to this song and try to figure out which gaps with  numbers are for  "moj" (mine or my for Masc.sg.) and where "tvoj" (yours or your for Masc.sg.) and for the gaps with letters, you will notice that the verb TO BE is missing.

Since this is  a part of Serbian101 lesson, feel free to send me your answers there.

Possession follows the noun, not the owner

Moj and tvoj are masculine singular dictionary forms, but possessives behave like adjectives. Say moja knjiga and tvoja knjiga for feminine nouns; moje pitanje and tvoje pitanje for neuter nouns.

The song’s numbered blanks contrast first- and second-person possession, while lettered gaps ask for forms of biti. Use the surrounding pronouns ja and ti as clues, then confirm the noun’s gender.

Five objects pass from mine to yours

LatinicaЋирилицаEnglish
Moj stari sat još uvek radi tačno.Мој стари сат још увек ради тачно.My old watch still keeps accurate time.
Tvoja crvena torba je ostala u automobilu.Твоја црвена торба је остала у аутомобилу.Your red bag was left in the car.
Moje pitanje nema jednostavan odgovor.Моје питање нема једноставан одговор.My question has no simple answer.
Jesu li ovo tvoje rukavice na klupi?Јесу ли ово твоје рукавице на клупи?Are these your gloves on the bench?
Naše dvorište se graniči sa vašim vrtom.Наше двориште се граничи са вашим вртом.Our yard borders your garden.

Swap owners without damaging agreement

Place two masculine, two feminine and two neuter objects between you and a partner. Point randomly and identify each as moj/tvoj, moja/tvoja or moje/tvoje.

  1. Complete: ______ brat (my).
  2. Complete: ______ sestra (your).
  3. Complete: ______ pismo (my).
  4. Write tvoje in Cyrillic.
  5. Change Moj ključ to plural.

Every numbered gap finds its owner

  1. moj
  2. tvoja
  3. moje
  4. твоје
  5. Moji ključevi. / Моји кључеви.

Listen again for owner and noun together; either clue alone is insufficient for the correct ending.
