Serbian Cases | Part 1

Serbian language difficulty
Writing system:Easy
Pronunciations:Hard
Grammar:Mom come pick me up I'm scared

[@j.g.mcbell9494]

When I first studied the language, it was at a military language school.
All we did was study the language, 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, with an additional few hours of homework every night. Classrooms of no more than 6 (mine had 3) students. All of the instructors are native speakers with linguistics degrees.
The Serbian/Croatian course is 47 weeks long.
When taking it, for the first 15 weeks it was like just memorizing words but not really understanding anything. And then week 16 a lightbulb went off in the middle of class one day, and I just got it. Everything made sense. The same thing happened to the other two students in the class within a few weeks. When it happens we literally started dancing, it’s such an exciting feeling.
Learning from that point on was just acquiring new words, but it was as easy as learning a new word in English. I could dream and think in Serbian.
It just takes time. Immerse yourself in it and wait for the day when the lightbulb goes off.

People from little countries tend to be literally delusional about the difficulty of their mother language.
Calm down. Nothing special about the grammar of your mother language.Just another Slavic language.

My advice : eat your bullshits!
1) I am from a little country … not that far away from Slovakia.
2) In my language there are six [i] … more than in your language. Hell , try to figure out which one to use … 👁
3) The Slovak language is just another Indo-European language.
Behave yourself. 🙂

Odlicno! tezak je Srpski ali nije nemoguce! You are doing a great job and are very clear explaining a difficult grammar. Keep the lessons coming!

Hey yo Blu,
I've been trying to learn these rules for a long time. You explained it so clearly.
I won't be able to learn it tho, pa jebiga :D.
Eh hvala. 🥂

[@j.g.mcbell9494]

I would quickly release a video outlining all the cases for adjectives, considering the ending is different for many.
I’ve found that to really get the grammar and appropriate case endings down, it’s best to practice with adjectives as often as possible. Eventually it becomes second nature, but it should sound weird if you’re using instrumental case and say “novu igračku”. You wouldn’t inherently know it should be “novom igračku” unless you practice

[@JdotCykz]

Hi. Nice comment. Please could you tell me a strategy of the best way learning of learning the cases. I know you said practice with adjectives but I mean like a sort of step by step plan. Would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

[@JdotCykz]

Sorry my friend me again. When you say practice with adjectives how do you mean?

Super video ! Da li znas zasto "pas" postaje "psu" na vokativ a ne "pse" ?

[@MojeBlu]

To be honest, other than the rule 'nepostojano a' I can't find a good way to explain it. You can also use 'pseto' instead of 'psu' in vokativ, but the noun 'pseto' is neuter :)

[@Veeno00]

You know, nevermind, because I just now realised that you're asking about the ending "u" vs. "e" and not about why the "a" disappears. %-)

[@MacakPodSIjemom]

Korekcija - "Da li znas zasto "pas" postaje "psu" U VOKATIVU a ne "pse"... - Odgovor: ne postoji odgovor. Jednostavno, tako je kako je. Za mnoge imenice nastavak u vokativu prosto se nauči napamet, nema pravila i logike. Ima dosta primera gde može da se upotrebi više različitih nastavaka. Ponekad se više njih smatra ispravnim u standardnom jeziku, a ponekad su prihvatljivi samo u određenim dijalektima. Npr., u nekim dijalektima će reći "gde si, čoveku!" Ili, recimo, ja bih rekao "gde si, pužu!", a ne "gde si, puže!" kao što kaže Moje Blu. Možeš reći "gde si, Miloše!" ili "gde si, Milošu!", mada će se ovo drugo više smatrati arhaičnim ili dijalekatskim oblikom.
Najvažnija stvar u vezi vokativa je to, da ako si početnik, ne moraš da obraćaš pažnju na njega uopšte. U praksi vokativ se koristi samo u konverzaciji s nekim. Dakle, u 99% slučajeva koristićeš ga sa ličnim imenima ili nazivima profesija, uloga i slično (Marko!, Dejane!, ujače!, profesore!...). Teško da ćeš imati konverzaciju sa, naprimer, stolom (stole! ili stolu! - ni sam ne znam koje od ova dva je pravilnije), pužem (pužu!), psom (psu! - osim ako ne želiš nekoga da opsuješ, nazivajući ga psom), motikom (motiko!), traktorom (traktore!)...

[@nikola-qi9bw]

Nice Video!👍🏼

[@voya8480]

Vocative is calling something, or somebody.

[@peaceforever8755]

For political correctness of gender equality every noun must be expressed in all three gender version. For example:
Крава (женски род) Кравац (мушки еод) Краво(средњи род) пасе траву.
Missing this kind of language is punishable by new low of gender equality.

[@juliuszcaesar7866]

they are exactly the same for all slavic languages?

Hmmm! Nadam se da je ovo tačno:
N mislilac mikrofon duh narod momak
G mislioca mikrofona duha naroda momka
D misliocu mikrofonu duhu narodu momku
A mislioca mikrofon duh narod momka
V mislioče mikrofone duše narode momče
I misliocem mikrofonom duhom narodom momkom
L misliocu mikrofonu duhu narodu momku
I'm doubtful about vokativ duše. Could the vokativ be dušo, as in Ajde Jano, ajde dušo?

[@MojeBlu]

You're absolutely correct about everything! 'duše' is a correct version :)

[@oneukum]

dušo is the vocative of duša (soul). The words are linguistically related, but they decline differently and have a different gender.

[@slavisavukosavljevic3131]

Everything is perfect except acusative for word "duh". Most often is "duha", although sometimes (rarely) can be "duh". For example "Ta reč je ušla u duh srpskog jezika."

Меня больше смущает отсутствие правил чтения в английском, когда видишь незнакомое слово и не знаешь как его прочитать. Украинский я легко читаю при минимальном изучении. И дело не в кириллице, потому что польский тоже довольно легко научиться читать.

Taco tesko. I don't have a keyboard to make the symbols above C's, S's or Z's.

[@MojeBlu]

You made some mistake with 'mislilac' (you omitted the 'o') and 'narod' is actually masculine, not plural :) Ciaran Doyle actually has posted all the correct versions in the comment section, so you can check where you had some mistakes. Maybe even go back to the rules in the video! Still, I'm quite impressed with your answers! I don't know how successful I would be if I was a learner of Serbian :D

[@jodypasalich28]

@@MojeBlu I did see Ciaran's answers after I posted, I wanted to try without cheating. I thought maybe 'narod' was a trick question, because it was more than one. I will watch rules again, I have so much to learn still.
