I moved to Montenegro 9 months ago and now I need to learn Serbian immediately, it wasn't matter so much before but now it is matter a lot. I checked your videos and you making everything easier and so clean. Hvala puno! You are my new teacher for a while anymore. Cao, drago mi😃🙋♂
Thank you so much for your sharing the information and your time. You are the only one who mention and underline the gender change / effect to the verb on past tense as ~o / ~la.
Hvala bratte. At first, it was a bit frustrating to see a bald head man with a huge earphone on half of my screen but then I noticed that your lips helped me understand the pronunciation of the word in a better way. Lips, I hope they don't come into my dreams :) Greetings from Türkiye to Serbia
Ćao Boko, my wife is from srbija and she mentioned that “ja sam kazao/kazala.” is never used (and she never heard that before). Instead they say “ja sam rekao/rekla.” - Ja sam rekao/rekla - Ti si rekao/rekla - On/Ona/Ono je rekao/rekla - Mi smo rekli/rekle - Vi ste rekli/rekle - Oni/One/Ona su rekli/rekle What are your thoughts about this?
Ćao! I agree. I mean I heard two people say "kazao/la" today (it is sometimes used), but I do agree that 95% of the time you would hear "rekao/rekla". Now the catch is to learn when we use which: Present Tense I'm telling you - kažem ti (always, you never use the "reći" form) He always tells you. = On ti uvek kaže. Past Tense I told you - rekao/la sam ti (95% of the time, although "kazao/la" is fine) Future Tense I will tell you - reći ću ti (probably 99% of the time)
Thank you very very much, I will keep repeating watching your video on and on until I get ready to subscribe on you 1/1 lesson. Thanks one more for your time,🙏🙏🙏
This is exciting!! One thing I noticed: 12] For DOĆI, I believe the 1st person singular is dođem. Dolazim is the 1st person singular of dolaziti, the imperfective form of "to come".
You are absolutely right! Most of the present forms in this video are actually imperfective, while the past is perfective. Why did I do this? Because I am assuming people here are just begginer speakers, so it's easer to make sentences: I come here every day. = Dolazim ovde svaki dan. I came here yesterday. = Došao sam ovde juče. But of course we have: I was coming here regularly. = Dolazio sam ovde redovno. 'Dođem' is used in different sentences, like: I have to come. = Moram da dođem. It's a difficult topic, but I guess I'll have to make a video about perfective and imperfective forms.
@@teacherboko Hvala! Živimo u Rakovcu i mi smo iz Amerike. I don't have time for private lessons right now but I would, if possible, like to subsidize your channel so that you can continue to make these videos. Please let me know if there is a way for me to do this.
Nema na čemu! Srećno sa učenjem srpskog jezika. Thank you sir, that is very kind of you. paypal.me/teacherboko Anyhow, I guess the best way to support me would be to buy PDFs and courses that I am about to start offering (I'd like to offer some books and flashcards too - still figuring out global shipping from Serbia).
Could you explain why you use a different conjugation for "I" sometimes? For example you are saying: 1) pokazati - Ja pokazujem, but pokazujem is for the verb pokazati. The form of I for the verb pokazati is pokažem 2) naći - Ja nalazim, but it is for nalaziti. Naći - nađem. 3) doći - Ja dolazim - but it is for dolaziti. Doći - dođem. 4) otići - Ja odlazim, but it is for odlaziti. Otići - otiđem. 5) pomoći - Ja pomažem, but it is for pomagati pomoći - pomognem Thank you in advance🙂
These are imperfective and perfective verb forms. I show. = I am showing. = Pokazujem. (imperfective) I want to show you. = Želim da ti pokažem. (perfective) Take a look at this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JttDzbd53wM.html
Boko must be a uTalk affiliate. It's actually a very basic app with tons of room for improvement. For starters, the devs misuse the word "Phrase". There are maybe one or two actual phrases, but the rest of them are single words. The phrases also have no explanation at all. uTalk is essentially a word memorization app, and honestly Drops does a far superior job with that. If you want to actually learn to speak and understand more than just simple words in Serbian (a category 3 out of 4 language), you'll learn much from Boko's RU-vid videos or private lessons! Hvala puno Boko.
Yes, I am. But I do agree with everything you've said about uTalk. Haven't heard about Drops though. People like learning like that, having an app on their phone wherever they go. Unfortunately there aren't great apps out there with Serbian. I actually thought about making an app, and technically I could, but after giving it some more thought I've given up. There aren't that many people that would use it, it's not worth it.
Wow, thanks very much for your Videos 👍. Best serbian learning channel i think. My mother is serbian and now I am going to better my serbian. I know so many words and all the rules, but it is so difficult to speak fluent
Good question. I would say pričati and govoriti are synonyms. The same goes for reći and kazati. to speak - pričati, govoriti to tell - reći, kazati to say - reći, kazati I speak Serbian. = Pričam srpski. = Govorim srpski. Also has to do with perfective/imperfective. He told me. = Rekao mi je. = Kazao mi je. What did you say? = Šta si rekao? He was telling me. = Pričao mi je. What is he saying? = Šta on priča? I am telling you. = Kažem ti.
Please add in imati and other verbs how a woman should say ... ja sam imalo And when addressing woman say, ti si imala Please can you do that for other verbs as well Thanks
When it comes to the past tense, the feminine forms of "I", "you", and "she" will have suffix "-la". It's the same pattern for every verb. I/you/she had - imala I/you/she did - radila I/you/she slept - spavala I/you/she ate - jela I/you/she went - išla
@teacherboko also can you do video where each verb on the board has present past future for I, you male&female, he she it we you they It's a lot to ask but would clarify some verbs better, eg verb DATI is confusing
I've been dating my Serbian girlfriend for close to 1,5 years now, and I'm learning Serbian so it makes conversation easier. These verbs help, but only knowing the I-form and not the rest isn't much of a help if you know what I mean. I don't know the conjugations, and that's kind of pretty useful. Is there any way you could do a follow-up video about it?
The thing is - it’s always the same. Take a look at the conjugation at 1:16 for the verb ‘to have’. You have a stem and suffixes -m, -š, no suffix for the third person singular, -mo, -te, only for ‘they’ there are 3 possible endings.
No difference in meaning. I want - hoću I would like - želim Perhaps "želim" is a bit more polite. They can still be used interchangeably - they have the same meaning.
Yeah, I mixed perfective and imperfective. I think I did it on multiple verbs in this video. I couldn't explain the aspects in this video (I thought of it as more for beginners) so I was thinking about what I should do, and then I finally decided to use the most common aspect in the infinitive form, and then the most common aspects in the present / past / future forms - and not to match them. If that is what you meant.
Reci im za rodove, nemoj da zbunjuješ ljude ! M- imao F/žensko- imala Ono- obično ovo odnosi na decu. Gde su ti Imenice, zamenice, pridevi, kondicional, aorist... !!!
Ovaj video se zove '100 most common verbs' - što znači da se fokusira na to (mada je na početku objašnjeno puno gramatičkih pravila). Ne može se u jednom videu sve objasniti. Perfekat je lepo objašnjen ovde: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Fx1pTjMFhq4.html&ab_channel=TeacherBoko-LearnSerbian Sve ostalo što ste pomenuli objašnjeno je takođe u drugim videima, ili će već biti objašnjeno. Skoro sam pričao o aoristu ovde: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ASIKX3WQ2L4.html&ab_channel=TeacherBoko-LearnSerbian Što se tiče ovog videa, ženski rod je objašnjen u prvih pet primera/glagola (radio sam/radila sam, kazao sam/kazala sam, išao sam/išla sam), a zatim se fokus vratio na same glagole. Takođe, ako uključite CC, možete videti ženski rod za sve ostale glagole.
