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).
  • Learn motion verbs like 'ići' (to go) and 'hodati' (to walk) as pairs with distinct meanings.
  • Use verb prefixes (e.g., 'zapisati', 'upisati', 'prepisati') to explore how they change meanings and practice with examples.
