Simplified grammar of the Serbian language

Viac o knihe

The Serbian grammar presented aims to succinctly outline the language's key characteristics, ensuring clarity despite brevity. It aligns grammatical forms with those of Old Slavonic, its oldest sister language, for proper explanation. Given the multitude of dialects, some inconsistencies in orthography and grammatical forms are unavoidable, but significant variations are duly noted. While focusing on the Serbian language, the inclusion of Croatisms is necessary due to the literary significance of Agram and its authors. The work is structured into three parts: Part I covers phonology, including the alphabet, accents, and dialect characteristics. Part II addresses grammatical elements such as the gender of nouns, declension, consonantal stems, adjectives, degrees of comparison, numerals, pronouns, verbs, prefixes, stems, the passive voice, irregular verbs, adverbs, and prepositions. Part III focuses on syntax, detailing the noun, the verb, and includes a Serbian reading lesson. This re-edition, originally published in 1887, serves as a valuable resource for understanding Serbian grammar in a concise format.
