← JE ili SU: Exercise 5

Am, Is, or Are?

He, she, and it all take JE. They takes SU — but Serbian keeps three separate words for "they," one per gender. Here's the full picture, third person included.

You've already drilled sam/si/je/smo/ste/su as a block. This one zooms in on the part that trips people up: Serbian's three grammatical genders show up in the pronouns for "he/she/it" and "they," even though the verb form itself (je or su) doesn't change with gender.

on je — he is  ·  ona je — she is  ·  ono je — it is
oni su — they are (masc. or mixed)  ·  one su — they are (fem.)  ·  ona su — they are (neut., e.g. "deca")
