Learning Tips

  • Understand the difference between svršeni (perfective) and nesvršeni (imperfective) aspects through examples (e.g., 'pisati' means 'to write' continuously, while 'napisati' means 'to write' to completion).
  • Practice present tense endings systematically (-am, -aš, -a, -amo, -ate, -aju) using simple sentences.
  • Use verb prefixes (e.g., 'zapisati', 'upisati', 'prepisati') to explore how they change meanings and practice with examples.
