🎯

The 'Se' Shortcut

자주 묻는 질문 (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.
