Our topic today is a lesson from Serbian 201 course. I added one more exercise to the course and I am sure you will enjoy practicing useful phrases through various games:

Before checking the meaning of the words, can you simply add an O in front of each adjective. To make it a verb you also need to add the -O suffix (for Masc. form of the verb in the past tense).

I googled the following stories:
- Ozdravio Frančesko Toti
- Ozdravio Čeda
Serbian Lexicology - Verb Formation
Now, let's do the same thing for each of these newly created verbs:

Serbian A2 to B2 Video Lesson
Here comes a video lesson which will help you practice Serbian at different levels.
As you can see, there are three phrases.
Serbian A2 Video Lesson - Accusative
The verbs such as TRAŽI - to search VIDETI - to see or VOLETI - to love (jesti, piti, slušati, gledati, kupiti, naći, etc.) trigger the Accusative case endings in the words that follow it (these can be not only nouns, but also numbers and adjectives in front of the noun)
What does ti mean?
It will change the upcoming word(s) in such a way that
- anything that is in singular, ending in -a, will drop the -a and change to -u. For example: čokoladA ... Tražim čokoladU = I am lookin for chocolate :o)
