In Serbian, the word order in questions is different. Da li is added before the verb instead of li after it. "Can you help me?" is Da li mi mozete pomoci? (formal) and Da li mi mozes pomoci? (informal); while "Do you speak" is Da li govorite (formal) and Da li govoris (informal).

3. Bosnian vs. Croatian vs. Serbian
Bosnian is spoken in Bosnia & Herzegovina. Croatian is spoken in Croatia and in some parts of Bosnia & Herzegovina, Montenegro, Serbia, the Burgenland region of Austria and the Molise region of Italy. Serbian is spoken in Serbia and in some parts of Bosnia & Herzegovina and Montenegro. These languages are sometimes known collectively as Serbo-Croatian, but for political, and not linguistic reasons. Croatian has several dialects, such as cakavian, kajkavian and stokavian. Bosnian is a mixture of Croatian and Serbian with some Muslim influence. The Serbian language is written with the Cyrillic alphabet, but Croatian and Bosnian are written with the Latin alphabet. However, on this page for right now, I still use the Latin alphabet for Serbian. Another main difference between Serbian and Croatian is the use of "da." Sentences in Serbian using a conjugated verb and an infinitive will have da between them, but sentences in Croatian just use the conjugated verb and infinitive together. Croatian writes certain words differently than Serbian as well, such as [Croatian] mlijeko, bijelo, pjevati, and mjesto vs. [Serbian] mleko, belo, pevati, mesto (milk, white, sing, and place). Generally, Croatian used ije or je where Serbian uses e.
4. Nouns and Demonstratives
Croatian nouns have three genders: masculine, feminine or neuter. Masculine nouns end in a consonant, feminine nounds end in -a, and neuter nouns end in either -o or -e. The Croatian language does not use definite or indefinite articles (a, an, the), but it does use demonstratives (this, that, these, those). These demonstratives agree with the noun they precede.
There are seven noun cases (in the singular and in the plural.) The cases show the function of a word in a sentence.

Vi is used when addressing a stranger, someone you do not know, or a person of authority and can be used in the singular or plural sense. Ti is used with family members and animals and shows familiarity with the person. Vi can also be used with family members and animals in the plural sense, but not the singular. It is also used in the formal sense.
7. To Be and To Have
Subject pronouns are not used very often, except when you want to show emphasis. The conjugations of biti (to be) are a little confusing because there are two forms: short and long. The short forms are never stressed and a sentence cannot begin with them, except je when it begins a question. The long forms are used to ask questions, to answer a question with a short reply and to affirm an answer.

To make a verb negative, simply put ne in front of it.
18. Formation of Plural Nouns
The plural of animate masculine nouns is formed by adding -i, -evi, or -ovi. The masculine inanimate nouns with hard endings end in -ovi, while the soft endings end in -evi. A few masculine nouns drop the final -n in the plural. Feminine plural nouns end in -e, unless they have a consonant ending, then they will end in -i. All neuter nouns end in -a in the plural.

Verbs: Present Tense
Verbs end in -ati, -eti, -iti, and -ći. There are three types of conjugation patterns in the present tense. These are grouped by the vowel used in the conjugated endings, not the vowels used in the infinitive endings:
|
-a
|
-e
|
-i
|
|
spavati - to sleep
|
plesati - to danse
|
vidjeti - to see
|
| spavam |
spavamo |
plešem |
plešemo |
vidim |
vidimo |
| spavaš |
spavate |
plešeš |
plešete |
vidiš |
vidite |
| spava |
spavaju |
pleše |
plešu |
vidi |
vide |
Other verbs that follow the -a pattern are: gledati - to look and slušati - to listen. Verbs that follow the -e pattern are: piti - to drink (stem is pij-) and ići - to go (stem is -id). Verbs that follow the -i pattern are: voljeti - to like and željeti - to desire.
Verbs: Past Tense
To conjugate verbs in the past tense, you drop the ending -ti, but you add endings according to the person and gender. For example, to form the past tense of the infinitive spavati, you would drop the -ti and then add these endings, depending on the subject. (Notice there are six ways of saying "slept.") Then you use the short forms of "to be" before this past participle.
| masculine singular |
spavao |
ja sam spavao - I slept (man speaking) |
| feminine singular |
spavala |
ti si spavala - you slept (talking to a woman) |
| neuter singular |
spavalo |
ono je spavalo - it slept (referring to a thing) |
| masculine plural |
spavali |
mi smo spavali - we slept (group of men speaking) |
| feminine plural |
spavale |
vi ste spavale - you slept (talking to a group of women) |
| neuter plural |
spavala |
ona su spavala - they slept (referrings to things) |
Verbs ending in -sti remove the -s in addition to the -ti before adding the above endings to form the past participle. For example, jesti - to eat has the past participles: jeo, jela, jelo, jeli, jele, and jela.
A few other verbs ending in -ći undergo some sound changes in the past tense:
| |
masc. sing. |
fem. sing. |
neut. sing. |
masc. plural |
fem. plural |
neut. plural |

*Although technically grammatically incorrect, many people use izašao, izašla, izašlo, etc. instead of the forms above.
And the past tense of biti - to be:
ja sam bio / ja sam bila - I was, I have been (man / woman)
ti si bio / ti si bila - you were, you have been (man / woman)
on je bio / ona je bila / ono je bilo - he was, he has been / she was, she has been / it has, it has been
mi smo bili / mi smo bile - we were, we have been (men / women)
vi ste bili / vi ste bile - you were, you have been (men / women)
oni su bili / one su bile / ona su bila - they were, they have been (men / women / things)
Note: Remember that you can also use a different word order for the past tense constructions, by omitting the subject pronoung and inverting the auxiliary verb and past participle. Ja sam spavao can also be said or written as spavao sam.
Verbs: Future Tense
The future tense is similar to English in that it uses an auxiliary verb (will) and an infinitive. The forms of the auxiliary verb are as follows (these are shortened forms of htjeti - to want):
On ce čitati. He will read.
