Serbian 401 - Mala istorija Srbije, drugi deo

Sigurna sam da ste uživali vežbajući srpski uz Malu istoriju Srbije, prvi deo. Danas stiže drugi deo da vidim koliko se sećate i šta ste naučili do sada ;)

Mala istorija Srbije - vežba, Serbian 401

Perfective and imperfective "se" verbs in Serbian 401 - Mala istorija Srbije, drugi deo

SMEJATI SE = to laugh (nasmejem se/nasmejao sam se - smejem se/smejao sam se)
UDARATI SE = to hit oneself (udarim se/udario sam se - udaram se/udarao sam se)
ZAGRCNUTI SE /zadaviti se = to choke oneself with food (zagrcnem se/zagrncuo sam se - zadavim se/zadavio sam se)
DEŠAVATI SE = to happen (desi se/ desilo se - dešava se / dešavalo se)
ZVATI SE = to be called (this is used both as a perf. and imperf. verb, but I can add a similar perf. form with a slight change in meaning (give oneself a name): prozovem se/prozvao sam se - zovem se / zvao sam se)... this reminded me of two-aspect verbs, which we could cover in the future!

Nadam se da ste uživali gledajući seriju Mala istorija Srbije i radeći vežbe!

Exercise with Verb Worked in Serbian

Serbian for Kids - Lesson 10

Marina exercises in Serbian , Serbian for beginners

While in the previous lesson of Serbian for Kids, I taught you how to pronounce furniture in Serbian and we played with the Present tense conjugations of the verb to have, today we are practicing rooms in a house/ flat and revising the previous lessons by playing games.

The words we are learning today are as follows:

Sobe = Rooms

TAJ HODNIK = hallway
TAJ BALKON = balcony
TA KUHINJA = kitchen
TA SOBA = room
TA SPAVAĆA SOBA = bedroom
TA DNEVNA SOBA= living room
TA DEČIJA SOBA = children’s room
TA RADNA SOBA = study
TO KUPATILO = bathroom

It would be perfect if you could download the pdf file, print it and try to learn, by playing Quizlet game https://quizlet.com/82682152/learn

The video version of this pdf is coming your way tomorrow on my Patreon blog - for the previous and upcoming versions check out this link!

Serbian with Easy Texts and Exercises

Marina easy Serbian , exercises in Serbian

Today we are practicing Serbian with this simple exercise:

The meaning of this story is as follows:

Marina likes to eat sweets, especially chocolate, Eurocream, jam and buiscits. She likes to drink milk, juice and coffee. Each morning while she has breakfast, Marina doesn't watch TV, but she is on the Internet, listens to songs on Youtube and sings them.

The missing verbs are as follows:

VOLETI (ja volim ... oni vole)
PITI (ja pijem... oni piju)
GLEDATI (ja gledam ... oni gledaju)
SLUŠATI (ja slušam... oni slušaju)
PEVATI (ja pevam... oni pevaju)

After doing this exercise, you can record your own story by making comparisons. For example:

Marina voli da jede slatkiše, ali ja ne volim da jedem slatkiše. OR Marina voli da jede Eurokrem, ali ja ne volim da ga jedem. (Pronouns: him/it >>>"ga" stands for "it", but in Serbian "Eurocream" is he, so here "ga" means "him", her >>>"je" and "them"= ih, regardless of the grammar gender)

For more advanced students: Write this text or record it in the past simple or future simple!

For all the versions and video lessons based on this text, check out my Patreon blog. Hvala :)

Serbian Past Tense - Bio Bila or Bilo?

Marina Biti in Serbian , exercises in Serbian

Bio Bila Bilo

Verb To Be in the Singular, simple past form

SINGULAR
Ja sam bio = I was masculine
Ja sam bila = I was feminine

Ti si bio = You were masc. sg.
Ti si bila = You were fem. sg.

On je bio = He was , obviously masc. sg.
Ona je bila = She was, obviously fem. sg.
Ono je bilo = It was, neuter, sg.

When you drop the subject (noun or pronoun), you start with the very past tense of the verb to be and this is what we are practicing now with this game!

BIO SAM ... BILA SAM ... BILO JE...

If you've practised the Accusative form of the nouns and pronouns with the video in the previous post, it's time to expand your confidence onto the verbs which require a noun/pronoun in this case. With all the listed nouns (TV, pegla, mobilni telefon, mašina za veš ...), the following verbs, properly conjugated, will make sense:

videti (to see) Present Tense conjugations: Sg: vidIM, vidIŠ, vidI Pl: vidIMO, vidITE, vidE Past Tense : Sg: videO, videLA, videLO Pl: videLI, videLE, videLA
gledati (to watch) gledAM, gledAŠ, gledA - gledAMO, gledATE, gledAJU ( for the following verbs you'll see only: PRESENT Sg: -m/-š/- Pl: -mo / -te / -ju and for the PAST Sg. -o/-la/-lo Pl. -li/-le/-la )
imati (to have) Sg: -m/-š/- Pl: -mo / -te / -ju (imaJU) Past: Sg. -o/-la/-lo Pl. -li/-le/-la
koristiti (to use) Sg: -m/-š/- Pl: -mo / -te / -e (koristE) Past: Sg. -o/-la/-lo Pl. -li/-le/-la

baciti (to throw away) Sg: -m/-š/- Pl: -mo / -te / -e (bace) Past: Sg. -o/-la/-lo Pl. -li/-le/-la

If you are a beginner in Serbian, let's focus on the present simple tense and practise conjugating out loud with the:

Serbian conjugator
Video lesson about gadgets and appliances you use or don't use

Present tense examples:

Imam telefon, ali GA ne gledam.
Moj brat ima mašinu za sudove i često JE koristi.

If you are at an intermediate level, I guess that dealing with the past simple won't be much of the problem. The idea of this blog post is to encourage you to become more fluent and confident. That's why you can simply learn/revise past simple in Serbian and make a few similar sentences like in the example:

Past tense examples:

Kupili smo mobilni telefon i čim smo GA uključili, odmah se pokvario.
Moj sin je popravio peglu i kada sam videla kako dobro radi bacila sam JE.

Here is the news from my town, followed by the video. I deleted all 'se' words. Try to guess where they are missing and then check your answers at the news source link.

U nesreći koja pre 4 dana desila u centru Novog Sada nekoliko lica je zadobilo lakše povrede, a na YouTube-u se ubrzo nakon toga našao video snimak ove nezgode.

Prešao je na suprotnu stranu kolovoza, okrznuo sa jednim gradskim autobusom i Opel Corsom, te direktno sudario da drugim autobusom GSP-a odmah iza Corse. (4 missing 'se')
