I have always enjoyed doing short tasks based on authentic news and fun texts. That is why I want to create and share with you the same kind of exercises based on daily news, both in the Latin alphabet and Cyrillic script. Today I'm sharing with you one of the common news section called "Dogodilo se na današnji dan" - "On this day in history" from KratkeVesti :)

Ova deca nemaju pojma!!!
These kids have no clue!!!
Ona leti od kuće do reke.
It flies/ is flying from the house to the river.
It's really complicated. Does anyone know the answer?
I think there is no correct answer, but we can enjoy learning Serbian by playing with this sentence using the Genitive case.
Genitive in Serbian
With the prepositions "from - to", you'll use the Genitive case. In the singular it changes as we have described before:
Singular
- London - od LondonA Masc. Sg. adds an -A
- Moskva - od MoskvE Fem. Sg. changes an -a into -E
- Selo - od selA Neut. Sg. changes an -o into -A
Practicing Genitive in Serbian
Your task is to think about these places and give your own answer about the sparrow using the same form:
Lasta leti od ... do ...
- Lisabon - Budimpešta
- Madrid - Atina
- Kopenhagen - Ankara
- Zagreb - Ljubljana
- Boston - Peking
- Moskva - Oslo
- Lima - Kairo
- Čikago - Berlin
- Subotica - Niš
- Temišvar - Bratislava
Photo Serbian with Gavrilo
If you are wondering who took this wonderful photo of a sparrow, OR "Od koga je ova slika?", let me tell you that the author is Gavrilo!
He has been my dear friend since forever and he has allowed me to use his beautiful photos in my photo lessons of Serbian. He is doing a great job promoting Serbia and its beauties and I invite all of you to thank him on his Pixoto page by liking and leaving comments under his photos :) Хвала Гојко!
