Cases in the Serbian language (PADEŽI)

Declination is a term used to describe all the grammatical changes that occur with a noun, a pronoun, and adjective or a numeral. Simply put, here you can see a complete list of all case endings in Serbian – padeži! Are you ready to start learning Serbian cases?

 

Adjective declination (case forms): pronouns (ja, moj, svoj…), adjectives (lep, mali, veliki…) and some numbers (prvi, drugi…). The declination is always the same for all these word types. 

 

Nouns have the noun declination, which is different from the adjective declination except for the Nominative and Accusative cases.
