Serbian for Kids - Locative Case Fun Way

Serbian for Kids - Locative Case

There are two parts in this video. In the first part you are just listening to me searching for and finding numbers. In the second part, I added the answer key to the left and right, so you can see why some words get an "i" at the end, and the others get an "u" at the end.

So, whenever you want to say that you are somewhere, we use the Locative case which will change the ending of the word which describes your the location. The same is with the numbers in this video.

Locative Case Fun Way

Words ending in -a (most of Feminine, Singular)

GDE su brojevi stranica?

OGRADA - 4 je na ogradi

PATIKA - 10 je na patici
MAJICA - 14 je na majici
KOŠULJA - 14 je na košulji
ŠKOLA - 16 je na školi
KLACKALICA - 18 je na klackalici
PALMA - 20 je na palmi
KOSA - 22 je na kosi

Words ending in a consonant (Masc. Sg.) or -E/O (Neut. Sg.)

OBLAK - 7 je na oblaku

CVET - 9 je na cvetu

DRVO - 11 je na drvetu

U potrazi za ostalim brojevima = Searching for other numbers

Now it's time for you to search the other part of the book and write in the comments where all the other numbers are... I'm curious! Jedva čekam vaše odgovore :)

Now that you feel more confident telling a joke (ispričati vic) about an elephant and giraffe, let's do some grammar exercises for fun :)

Serbian Lessons with Subtitles and Exercises

I am so happy to share this video lesson which is 100% in Serbian with subtitles. I am sure they will help you hear what I am saying better. After the video there is an exercise which is made based on the text, a bit changed though.

Where is Marko Now - Serbian Locative 3

Marina locative case in Serbian , locative in Serbian

In our fun Serbian comics we can learn where people are, or where they were in the past. Today we are using the same case, the Locative case to express where we are in a house and after that we can also say what we are doing in the house.

Instead of a comic, I recorded a video for you, so you can practice saying simple sentences:

Ovo je HODNIK. Ovo je Marko. Marko je u hodnikU. On ne radi ništa u hodniku.
Ovo je KUHINJA. Ovo je Marko. Marko je u kuhinjI. On pravi doručak u kuhinji.

Can you listen to the rest of the story and make similar sentences for:

KUPATILO
TRPEZARIJA
SPAVAĆA SOBA
RADNA SOBA
TERASA
TAVAN
DNEVNA SOBA

Singular Nouns in Locative in Serbian

Before thinking about the grammar, try to hear how I am using these words with the prepositon U or NA. If you are not sure, here comes a bit of advice:

Sg. Masc >>> add -U (u hodniku, u Londonu, u muzeju)

Sg. Fem >>> add - I (u kuhinji, u Moskvi, u galeriji)

Where are you today? Part 2

What do you want to do TODAY?
Šta želite da radite DANAS?

Today I am in Paris. I want to see the Mona Lisa.
DANAS sam u Parizu. Želim da vidim Mona Lizu.

While in the previous lesson we noticed that the Locative Singular ending was only -i, it was like that simply because we were in places which are in Feminine Singular (U Moskvi, Aziji, Evropi, Budimpešti...)

However, today we are in having fun in places which are Masculine Singular and that's why we add the suffix -u at the end of each place:

Ja sam danas u Parizu. = Danas sam u Parizu.
...Beograd >>> Beogradu
...Lisabon >>> Lisabonu
... Sidnej >>> Sidneju
... Niš >>> Nišu
...muzej >>> muzeju
... centar >>> centru
