Serbian Verbs Conjugated - To Live

I have tried to make simple conjugation videos before, but was never satisfied with what they looked and sounded like. Last week, thanks to my dedicated patrons on Patreon and my students of Serbian whom I've been teaching for years, I was able to afford the first professional version of the software which I have always dreamt of. HVALA!!!

How do you like my first pro conjugation video?

Now that I have all the tools, I am sure you'll all enjoy my short video lessons about:

verb conjugations in Serbian, both in the Cyrillic and Latin alphabet.
short video stories, based on the video with conjugations
short dialogues based on the texts and Serbian Phrases
videos explaining Serbian idioms
easy Serbian songs and chants for kids

Još jednom ogromno hvala mojim dragim pratiocima i učenicima koji pomažu održavanje ovog bloga i sve bolji kvalitet video lekcija srpskog jezika. Moje nove lekcije će izgledati super zahvaljujući Mirku, Milici i Milenki, Lari, Matiji, Dejanu i Danijeli, Marion, Pavlu, Dejvidu, Niku i Dženi i Jani!!!

Furniture in Serbian - Expand your Vocabulary

Marina furniture in Serbian , Serbian for children

In the previous month I posted a few exercises for you to practice how to pronounce rooms in a flat in Serbian. There was an exercise to help you write and read the same words both in the Latin and Cyrillic script. I hope you liked all the exercises.

Now it's time to expand the vocabulary and learn about the furniture in different rooms. Here comes an exercise with flash cards to help you hear and pronounce the words correctly!

Games with Furniture in Serbian

To simply recognize the words, play the Scatter game by pulling the photos over the words or vice versa.

When you are ready to practice writing and actively connecting photos with the words, enjoy playing

Gravity or

As usual, there is a vocabulary game, but this time it's a hangman game based on some of the words from the previous exercises.

Marina serbian songs , Serbian vocabulary

I guess it is just the perfect time to learn a bunch of commonly used phrases and collocations in Serbian with a newly released song "Sistem te laže" by Beogradski sindikat.

I created a new kind of exercise, with dropdown suggested answers, so you don't need to write while listening to the song, but simply click on the option you hear. You can also try to do the exercise before listening to the song, in order to guess what's missing.

Make sure you listen to the song once again, following the same lyrics in the Cyrillic script!

Learning to Conjugate in Serbian - To Have Breakfast

Learning to Conjugate in Serbian

Today I've found a video with an easy text in Serbian, which I forgot to upload and share with you last year. I corrected this mistake and you can see it now on my Youtube channel. I think you will find this exercise quite easy, as it focuses only on the verb " to have breakfast " - doručkovati.

Learning to Conjugate in Latin Script

Since the video is for you to practice the Cyrillic script, let me write some basic forms of the verbs you will need in the Latin alphabet.

Present Simple of doručkovati and piti (to drink)

Doručkujem-doručkuješ-doručkuje // doručkujemo - doručkujete - doručkuju
Pijem - piješ - pije // pijemo - pijete - piju

Past Simple of doručkovati and piti (to drink)

Doručkovao - doručkovala - doručkovalo // doručkovali - doručkovale - doručkovala
Pio - pila - pilo // pili - pile - pila

Future Simple of doručkovati and piti (to drink)

Doručkovaću - doručkovaćeš - doručkovaće // doručkovaćemo - doručkovaćete - doručkovaće
Piću - pićeš - piće // pićemo - pićete - piće

I've written both the past and the present forms for the more advanced learners to practice turning the same text into the past and future tenses and thus learning to conjugate "doručkovati".

Learning to Conjugate in Cyrillic

Now, I am sure you are ready for this exercise:

In order to turn the Cyrillic into Latin alphabet, do use the perfect tool for that, called SlovoMajstor:

Jesam or Sam in Serbian?

Practicing Cyrillic Script

Marina Cyrillic script , Serbian language 365

If you need to practise writing Serbian Cyrillic script, it's a good idea to either

read these beautiful poems by Mika Antić...

...and type down while reading...

or simply click pause and write it in your diary :)

If you want a more difficult practice, simply listen Mika and jot down what he's saying :)

Serbian Pronunciation Practice with Đ and DŽ

Marina Serbian language 365 , Serbian pronunciation

If you started learning Serbian and you are confused as to what might be the difference between DŽ and Đ sounds, let me help you by taking you through these five steps:

Step 1:

Which of these two sounds is softer to your ear ?

Dž/dž (or Џ џ in Cyrillic)

Đ / đ (or in Cyrillic script: Ђ ђ)?

Step 2: If you don't hear ANY difference, let me tell you that the sound Đ is much softer than DŽ.

*You'll get this sound to be softer, i.e. produce Đ, by pressing the tongue onto the lower teeth. Repeat "đ" several times and feel the tongue low, behind the teeth, touching them.

*To get the harsh "DŽ" curl your tongue behind the upper teeth, slightly above them. You'll notice that the sound becomes less soft as you raise your tongue upwards. (even curling it backwards). Now repeat it several times.

Step 3: Try to contrast the soft Đ with harsh DŽ, paying attention to the tongue position and listening to yourself. Can you hear the difference ?

Now it's time to practise with minimal pairs and not-so-minimal pairs, because there aren't that many words with Đ and DŽ:

Step 4:

Listen and repeat:

đak džak
leđa odžak
đinđuva dživdžan
ceđenje karakondžula
đubre dželat
đurđevak džanarika
đakonije džangrizalo
đavo džem
đevrek džemper

Step 5:

Encircle the word you hear me say:

đubre džak đak odžak
đevrek džaba đavo džem
džoker đon džomba đozluci
džudo đevrek džukela đuveč
ceđenje dživdžan đinđuva dželat

With this video you can not only pronounce the Simple present conjugations of the verb "zvati se", but you can also practise its word order and asking and answering simple questions in the second part of the video. Which words are missing there ?

Learn about Serbian Verbs with Children's Songs

Marina Serbian for children , Serbian for kids

Another great song which all the devojčice i dečaci sing is "Ivin voz" by Dragan Laković . It's also perfect to introduce a complex lexical system of the Serbian verb (which mirrors English phrasal verbs as well as perfectve /imperfective aspects ) :

The Cyrillic script version:
Ћиху, Ћиху, ћиху-ху...

Из куће је излетео на улицу Ива
сав задихан захуктао к'о локомотива.

Видели га другови, па за њим и они
потрчали, захуктали к'о прави вагони.

Ћиху, Ћиху, ћиху-ху...

Сад улицом тако јури та чудна колона
то воз Ивин путује са седам вагона.

The Latin script version:
Ćihu, Ćihu, ćihu-hu...

Iz kuće je izleteo na ulicu Iva
sav zadihan zahuktao k'o lokomotiva.

Videli ga drugovi, pa za njim i oni
potrčali, zahuktali k'o pravi vagoni.

Ćihu, Ćihu, ćihu-hu...

Sad ulicom tako juri ta čudna kolona
to voz Ivin putuje sa sedam vagona.

Interesting verb lexicology:

leteti = to fly, IZleteti = to fly out of
huktati = to make a sound like a to train (figuratively: to complain) , ZAhuktati se = to gather speed (for a train, or when doing something)
trčati = to run, POtrčati = to start running

An exercise covering this topic can be found on this SerbianLesson.com page.

Easy Texts in Serbian

Marina easy Serbian , Serbian language 365

Here comes a sample video exercise of a very basic and simple text in Serbian, much much easier than the previous ones:

Anyway, I think this is a good example how you can practise making natural sentences in Serbian on your own, simply by reading together with me and supplying the words which are missing. You can also do the follow-up exercise in writing.

Sorry for the poor audio quality - I'll try to fix it somehow !
