Explanation DOBRO JUTRO
Questions - Answers To greet people more formally, in
the morning, until 9 or 10 oclock,
you can say Good morning =
DOBRO JUTRO.
Experiment
The common response to DOBRO
JUTRO is DOBRO JUTRO, also.
Questions - Answers
Explanation
DOBRO JUTRO
WHY DOBRO?
Most students ask me why dobar
dan and then dobrO jutro?
The reason for the change is that
dobar is an adjective which agrees
with the noun it describes. In Serbian,
most times it rhymes with the noun.
With words in Neuter Sg., such as
JUTRO or VEE, the adjectives will
end either in O or E.

always provide an explanation and
grammar drill. 26
