This is, These are in Serbian

This is, These are - in Serbian

Let's jump with joy each time we come across a phrase or two which are easier in Serbian than in English.

There is no need for you to think how to say THIS and THESE, simply say OVO and it covers both categories!



  • Ovo je haljina = this is a dress
  • Ovo su čizme = these are boots

  • The only thing we are actually practicing is IS and ARE in Serbian, in different contexts:


    1. Odeća = Clothes
    2. Životinje = Animals 
    3. Hrana = Food
    4. Poslovi = Jobs 

    Ovo je, ovo su with Clothes

    "Excuse me, where is..." - Serbian 101

    One of the useful phrases when learning Serbian is IZIVINTE = ИЗВИНИТЕ = excuse me.

    Excuse me, where is ... in Serbian


    After this phrase, you have certainly attracted someone's attention, so you can ask a follow up question. Today we are practicing the phrase GDE JE = ГДЕ ЈЕ = where is?

    How to pronounce IZVINITE, GDE JE in Serbian

    Let's practice the phrase "Excuse me, where is ..."

    Learning Serbian Cyrillic with Easy to Read Books

    I am happy to announce that my third book with easy texts both in Cyrillic and Latin alphabet, Who is Who, has been published!

    Let me remind you of the first two books, which you can read along with me on my Youtube channel and Patreon page:

    Easy to Read -  Šta možemo da vidimo na selu?



    This book called "What you can see on the farm" is just the first part of the series covering animal and farm vocabulary,  together with  the most common verbs in Serbian.

    Easy to Read -  Gde je ključ? 



    In this second book, Where is the Key? I continue using the most common verbs which require the accusative case. We are also practicing introducing ourselves and our friends.  There is also a task for you to find ONE hidden key. If you are having problems finding it, do let me know!

    Easy to Read -  Ko je ko?


    In the third book, Who is Who, we are dealing with some similar names like Jovan and Jovana or Ivan and Ivana. Since they can be a bit confusing, we are trying to figure out who is who, by following our friends in search of one another. At the end of the book there is an Activity book where you need to find the hidden page numbers... a little bit of Locative case will always prove useful in the days to come :D


    The Fourth Easy to Read book 

    The name of the fourth book is "What we like" and it is all about games and seasons we like. It is to be published in October. This one is the easiest of all, and I am sure you'll love it! Watch this space :D
