From recognising adjectives to choosing them

Recognising the answer in Serbian Adjectives 2 is only the first stage. The goal is to recall it quickly, pronounce it clearly and adjust it for a different person, place or time. Use the new examples as stepping stones.

Swap the noun and fix the adjective

Read down the Latin column, then switch to Cyrillic without returning to English. Choose two examples, turn one into a question and make the other negative. Say both versions naturally. For this post, keep your final version connected with the situation in Serbian Adjectives 2.

Adjective endings in the accusative

A Serbian adjective agrees with its noun in gender, number and case. Learn the noun and adjective together, then change one feature at a time; this makes endings visible without turning the lesson into a disconnected list. In this particular lesson, use that principle to interpret the examples connected with Serbian Adjectives 2.
