Sentences

Write it in Serbian

What do you want to do?

Asked politely, or of more than one person.

Šta želeti da radite?

Not quite

  • Šta
  • da
  • radite

Tap a marked word to see the grammar and the word card.

Šta želite da radite?

želite: you typed «želeti» · Present tense of i-class verbs

The sentence step, up close

The checking is smart. The standard is not.

A sentence from the course with a word from this topic. Type it, check it, then tap a marked word: the card behind it is the one above.

  • 1

    Every valid answer is accepted.

    Word order, synonyms, a dropped pronoun: each sentence carries all of its accepted forms. This one takes 12.

  • 2

    Typos are forgiven, and flagged.

    A slipped letter still counts as correct. A wrong ending never does; that is where the grammar lives.

  • 3

    Every miss lowers something specific.

    A wrong form halves the level of that word or that rule, not of the whole sentence. Your weak spots come back sooner.
