Learning Tips

  • Learn the difference between definite (-i) and indefinite forms (-an) of adjectives with examples (e.g., 'lijepi cvijet' vs. 'lijep cvijet').
  • Use common prefixes like 'pre-' (too), 'naj-' (most), and 'ne-' (not) to modify adjectives (e.g., 'prekrasan' - too beautiful).
  • Practice adjective agreement with nouns in gender, number, and case (e.g., 'dobar čovjek' vs. 'dobra žena').
