Hvala svima na pomoću!
Upravo sam pitao mog prijatelja u Banja Luci, a on mi je rekao da "davaj davaj" znači "daj (mi)".
Koristite ovaj izraz na primer kad vi naručite piće u kafanama, a kad hoćete da budete brzo posluženi

@Dangerous & Moving: Zanimljivo da ti studiraš ruski jezik! Super izbor Želim i to da učim, ali mislim da prvo vaš jezik – a posle toga ruski. Mogu da pretpostavim da su ovi jezici slični – a onda bih samo sve pobrkao ako počinjem sa ruskim prerano

Ruski je moja prva ljubav <3
A zahvaljujući sličnosti naših jezika prilično ga je lako studirati

I have a question
I`m learning Serbian and sometimes i see the letter: đ , do you always have to write it like that or can you also write dj?

like: gospođica , can you also write gospodjica? Or is that very wrong? :S

I have another question to make sure if i`m getting this right :P

If you have the question: je li ona gledan? , then the answer must be: jest. And if it`s negative than it must be: nije.
Am i right?

Because if you have questions started with je li or jeste li you don`t have to use the personal pronoun in the answer, right?

You can use both, when you don't have đ you use dj (keybord/sms/etc), they indicate the same letter, but đ is official.
If you're writing on paper you'll have to use đ, cause then dj would look kinda weird.

Oh my mistake :P i meant je li ona gladan lol

in that case it's gladna

on - gladan
ona - gladna
ono - gladno

that rule is easy to remember, the female-adjectives always end with a and the neutral with o - lijepa, krasna, velika, mala - lijepo, krasno, veliko, malo

Nouns?
They mostly end with a consonant (e.g. konj, automobil, hleb) with some exceptions, like tata (dad), auto etc..

Je li je ona gladna? => Jeste (Da)
Da li je ona gladna? => Da (Jeste)
(jel, je li is more common in speaking, da li in speaking and writing, I believe)

Answer:
(if she is hungry) Da. This is more appropriate and simple. Or you can say also: "Jeste". "Jest" is less used or not used in everyday, common situations, I think, or it's rare, just say simply DA and it would be fine.

(if she is not hungry) Ne or Nije.

Šta ovo znači?
"Njena sestra se malo NAŽE napred kako bi mogla što bolje da joj namesti pojas".
I od kojeg glagola?

Her sister had leaned over a bit so that she could adjust her belt better

od glagola:

nagnuti
1. (tr.) to lean, bend; to incline; ~ glavu kroz prozor = to stick one's head out the window; ne naginji se kroz prozor = do not lean out the window; ona se nagla = she leaned over

naže bi trebalo da je aorist (but dont take my word for it )

Super, hvala!
Gde si našla taj rečnik?
Zasada samo znam za ovaj:
http://www.krstarica.com/recnik/
Ima li više na internetu?

Taj krstaricin recnik je katastrofa. Ovaj je mnogo bolji: www.eudict.com (hrvatski ali ipak...)
Sto se tice mog recnika, to je Morton Benson (pokusaj mozda negde nadjes download mada su to vecinom skracene verzije - bez izgovora)

Evo ti link za Morton Benson

Šta ovo znači, a od kojeg glagola?
1. "Pa ti si stvarno zaljubljena!", OMAČE joj se.

"Pa ti si stvarno zaljubljena!", OMAČE joj se. = Well you are seriously in love! She made a slip of the tongue.

She didn't mean to say it. It just slipped out.


It's figurative.. from
omaći se, omaknuti se = to slip

A ovo?
"Arijadna joj se OBISNU oko vrata, a onda, zgrabivši brzo svoju liru, potrča ka vratima".
