| Things made with… / made of…
When we want to express that something is made of…/made with…, we need to use two different cases.
| Made with Instrumental case
kava s toplim mlijekom | kava s hladnim mlijekom | kava sa šlagom | kava s vrhnjem |
You already learned about Instrumental Case endings. However, here are the endings for the Instrumental Case again in the singular form for all three genders.
Kava s/sa… Kolač s/sa… | šlag | čokolada | mlijeko |
šlag-om | čokolad-om | mlijek-om |
| Made of Genitive case
čaj od mente | čaj od breskve | čaj od šumskog voća | čaj od brusnice |
You already learned about Genitive Case endings. However, here are the endings for the Genitive Case again in the singular form for all three genders.
Kolač od… Torta od… | sir | čokolada | vrhnje |
sir-a | čokolad-e | vrhnj-a |
8.1 Zadatak 1. Od čega? S čime?
| The verb PITI
After we remove the -ti ending of the verb, the stem piti (to drink) has only one syllable. This will require the use of the following endings:
PITI | |||||
SINGULAR | PLURAL | ||||
ja | pi-jem | mi | pi-jemo | ||
ti | pi-ješ | vi | pi-jete | ||
on/-a/-o | pi-je | oni/-e/-a | pi-ju | ||
| The verb ISPIJATI
Another verb that you have encountered in today’s lesson is the verb ispijati which can be translated as sip / sipping on. This verb is useful to know as the coffee culture shows that a lot of people like to ispijati their coffee for hours (no matter how small the coffee is). The verb is a regular -ati verb.
