Learning Tips

  • Practice adjective agreement with nouns in gender, number, and case (e.g., 'dobar čovjek' vs. 'dobra žena').
  • Form comparatives by adding -iji, -ji, or -ši to adjectives (e.g., 'brz' → 'brži').
  • Use common prefixes like 'pre-' (too), 'naj-' (most), and 'ne-' (not) to modify adjectives (e.g., 'prekrasan' - too beautiful).
