Grammar in this chapter
- Einen Kaffee, jednu kafu — The object of a verb takes the accusative, marked on the masculine article in German and on the noun's ending in Serbian.
- Die Äpfel, jabuke — Plurals: German learns them word by word, Serbian follows the gender.
- A kilo of — After a quantity, German simply adds the noun; Serbian puts it in the genitive, the case for "of".
- Liking, and saying no — German mag, gern and möchte, nicht and kein; Serbian volim and volim da, and ne.
- Du isst, ti jedeš — Eating, drinking and ordering: German verbs that change their vowel, Serbian verbs with a stem of their own.
