  6. Da li Vi čitate bajke na srpskom ? 
  7. Da li Vama neko čita bajke na srpskom ?
  8. Da li volite bajke ? Zašto ?

Listening comprehension for the pre-intermediate level:

  1. Does Nebojša have any children ?
  2.  If yes, how many ?
  3. Does Nebojša read fairy tales to his children ?
  4. Is "Ružno pače" in the video a film or simply a CD ?

The ugly duckling waits behind the interview

The questions move from factual listening to personal discussion. Koliko dece asks for a quantity, zašto requires a reason, and kome asks for a recipient. In Kome je namenjen ovaj CD?, the answer must appear in the dative because the CD is intended for someone.

Svoj changes with the noun and refers back to the subject: on čita svojoj deci means he reads to his own children. The story title Ružno pače contains neuter agreement—ružno matches pače—while bajka is feminine.

Each question points to a person, reason or recipient
