The 'Koji' Test

🎯

The 'Se' Shortcut

If you are unsure how to form the passive participle, use the reflexive 'se' with the 3rd person singular. It works for almost any verb in a formal context.

よくある質問 (6)

Yes, but keep them simple. Words like priloženi or spomenuti are common, but long phrases like od strane vlade doneseni will sound too formal for a casual chat.
The adverb is indeclinable: On je hodao pjevajući (He walked while singing). The adjective declines: Pjevajuća djeca (Singing children).
It uses many nouns instead of verbs. This is called 'nominal style' and it is designed to sound objective and stable.
Use '-nje' for almost all verbs. '-ba' is only for specific traditional words like 'plovidba' or 'borba'.
Only if the condition is factual and possible, e.g., 'Ako sam to rekao, žao mi je.' But for 'If I had known (but I didn't)', you must use 'Da'.
'Bih' is for 'I' (1st person singular). 'Bi' is for 'he/she/it' and 'they'. Using 'bi' for 'I' is common in slang but incorrect in exams.
