Serbian 301 — the noun is already in the genitive. Now make the adjective agree with it.
Three endings cover the whole genitive, and the plural is the kindest of them — one form for all three genders:
| Ending | Example | |
|---|---|---|
| m. / n. singular | -og | čistog zlata, visokog čoveka, udobnog kreveta |
| f. singular | -e | uske ulice, duge suknje, prazne kese |
| plural, all genders | -ih | svetlih gradova, prijatnih žena, jasnih uputstava |
One adjustment to watch. After a soft consonant the masculine ending softens too: loš gives lošeg, not "lošog". The same happens to feminine lenja, which becomes lenje.
And deca plays a trick on everyone. It means children, so it feels plural — but grammatically it's a feminine singular collective, and the adjective follows that: od neprijatne dece, not "neprijatnih".
