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)
