A lot of my students are learning Serbian because of their partner.

You know someone really loves you when they have the patience and when they

put in effort to learn such a complex language.

Movati, movam or flertovati, flirtujem is to flirt.

Svađati se, svađam se, to argue.

These verbs can be used to make a lot of different sentences.

Remember, verbs are the most important vocabulary since they carry a lot or the

most of the information in the sentence.

The verbs in Serbian are given in infinitive and first person present tense.

You can use infinitive, the form that ends on T, to construct past or

future tense. And you can use first person present tense, the one that ends

on M, to continue constructing other person.
