Conseils et astuces (4)

💡

The 14/16 rule

Remember that 14 and 16 lose a letter. It's 'četrnaest' and 'šesnaest'.

💡

Consistency

Once you learn the base numbers, the tens are free points!

The 'i' Bridge

Always visualize a bridge when you say 'i'. It connects the big tens to the small ones.

  • Ten + i + Unit
  • 1 (nom. sing), 2-4 (gen. sing), 5+ (gen. plur)
  • Imam + Number + godina
  • Koliko je sati?

Erreurs courantes

Age uses the genitive case, and 'jedan' must agree with the feminine noun 'godina'.

Correct: Imam dvadeset i jednu godinu.

Numbers 5 and above require the genitive plural form of the noun.

Wrong: Pet prijatelji.
Correct: Pet prijatelja.

The idiom for asking time always uses the plural 'sati'.
