Posao

Learn these adjectives attached to something, not floating free. Four nouns take almost all of them:

Notice the endings change with the noun's gender: dobar posao but dobra plata. That is why the list below gives every adjective in the masculine — it is the dictionary form, the one you adapt from.

Two traps worth naming. First, neprijatan and neljubazan are not the same word. Neprijatan means unpleasant — an unpleasant smell, an unpleasant silence. Unfriendly, of a person, is neljubazan. Both are accepted below, but only one is precise.

Second, plata covers both salary and wage; Serbian does not split them the way English does. If you need to be explicit, say mesečna plata or nedeljna plata. The old word for a day's or week's wage is nadnica, and it now sounds rural and dated.

And šefica is the everyday feminine of šef. It is normal, common, and not diminutive — unlike some other feminine job forms in Serbian, which are still argued about.
