Plural Grammar Rules

The plural is the form which refers to more than one object or person. For example: I speak two languages the plural here is [languages] because it refers to more than one [language]. The examples below use plurals in different ways and places to demonstrate how they look when converted from their singular form.

Grammar + Rules - Bosnian
I speak one language [singular form] govorim jedan jezik
we speak three languages [plural noun] govorimo tri jezika
he visits many countries [adverb + plural noun] posjećuje mnoge zemlje
they are happy now [plural pronoun] oni su sada sretni
she has five red shoes [adjective + plural noun] ona ima pet crvenih cipela
I want a sandwich without onions [preposition + plural noun] želim sendvič bez luka

The following is a list of examples showing both the singular and plural form. This demonstrates how the plural is used with humans, objects and animals.

Emergency Phrases

Now it's time to practice your Bosnian by looking at these phrases which are related to emergencies. Be prepared when traveling abroad, just in case you need help or by offering help to someone else. I recommend writing these expressions down on a notebook before traveling.

English - Bosnian

Call the ambulance pozovite hitnu pomoć
I need a doctor trebam liječnika
Where is the closest pharmacy? gdje je najbliža ljekarna?
