Moja majka kupuje voće na pijaci svako jutro.

Moja means my, so moja majka means my mother.

In Serbian, possessive words like moj / moja / moje must agree with the noun in gender, number, and case:

• moj for masculine nouns
• moja for feminine nouns
• moje for neuter nouns

Since majka (mother) is a feminine singular noun in the nominative, the correct form is moja.

You can sometimes omit moja if the context already makes it clear whose mother you mean, but here it is included for emphasis or clarity.

Majka is in the nominative singular because it is the subject of the sentence — the person doing the action.

The sentence structure is:

• Moja majka = the subject
• kupuje = the verb
• voće = the thing being bought
• na pijaci = where
• svako jutro = when

So majka stays in its basic dictionary form here.

Kupuje means is buying or buys, depending on context.

It is:

• present tense
• 3rd person singular
• from the verb kupovati / kupiti related to to buy

Here it matches moja majka because my mother is she, so Serbian uses the 3rd person singular form.

A useful pattern:

• ja kupujem = I buy / am buying
• ti kupuješ = you buy / are buying
• on/ona kupuje = he/she buys / is buying

In this sentence, because of svako jutro (every morning), the meaning is more like a habitual action: My mother buys fruit at the market every morning.

Voće is the correct form here because it is the direct object of the verb kupuje.

With kupovati (to buy), the thing being bought usually goes in the accusative case.

The important point is that voće is a neuter noun, and in the singular, many neuter nouns have the same form in nominative and accusative.

So:

• nominative: voće
• accusative: voće

That is why the form does not visibly change.

Also, voće often works like a mass/collective noun, similar to English fruit.

Serbian does not have articles like English a / an / the.

So voće can mean:

• fruit
• the fruit
• some fruit

The exact meaning depends on context.

In this sentence, the natural English translation is usually fruit, without needing an article unless the wider context requires one.

Na pijaci means at the market.

The preposition na can mean on in some situations, but it also often means at or to, depending on the noun and context.

Here, pijaci is in the locative case because it is used after na to express location:

• na pijaci = at the market

If the sentence were about motion toward the market, Serbian would usually use the accusative:

• na pijacu = to the market

So:

• kupuje voće na pijaci = buys fruit at the market
• ide na pijacu = goes to the market

Because after na when it means at/in a place, Serbian uses the locative case.

The noun pijaca is feminine singular, and its locative singular form is pijaci.

So:

• nominative: pijaca = market
• locative: pijaci = at/in the market

This kind of change is very common in Serbian case endings.

Both can exist in Serbian, but they are used a little differently.

In this sentence, svako jutro is a very common way to say every morning. It uses the accusative as a time expression.

• svako jutro = every morning

You may also see svakog jutra, which is also used for repeated time expressions and can sound slightly different in style or emphasis depending on context.

For a learner, the safest takeaway is:

• svako jutro is a normal, standard way to say every morning

Also notice agreement:

• jutro is neuter singular
• so svako is the matching neuter singular form of svaki (every)

In svako jutro, jutro is in the accusative singular, used as an adverbial expression of time.

Since jutro is a neuter noun, its nominative and accusative singular forms are the same:

• nominative: jutro
• accusative: jutro

So again, the form does not visibly change, even though the case function is different.

No, Serbian word order is fairly flexible compared with English because cases show grammatical relationships.

The neutral, natural order here is:

• Moja majka kupuje voće na pijaci svako jutro.

But other orders are possible for emphasis, for example:

• Svako jutro moja majka kupuje voće na pijaci.
• Na pijaci moja majka kupuje voće svako jutro.

These all mean roughly the same thing, but the focus changes slightly.

English depends more on word order for basic meaning, while Serbian can move parts around more freely.

In isolation, kupuje can mean either:

• buys
• is buying

because Serbian present tense can cover both a general present and an ongoing present, depending on context.

In this sentence, because of svako jutro (every morning), the best translation is:

• My mother buys fruit at the market every morning.

That time phrase shows it is a habitual action, not something happening just once right now.

A rough English-friendly pronunciation is:

MO-ya MAI-ka KOO-poo-ye VO-che NA PEE-ya-tsee SVA-ko YOO-tro

A few sounds to notice:

• j is pronounced like English y
• ć is a soft sound, something like a softer ch
• c is pronounced like ts
• je in kupuje is pronounced separately, roughly ye

So:

• moja ≈ moya
• voće ≈ vo-che (with a softer ch)
• pijaci ≈ piyatsi

Yes.

• majka = mother
• mama = mom / mum / мама-style everyday word

Moja majka kupuje voće na pijaci svako jutro sounds a bit more neutral or formal. Moja mama kupuje voće na pijaci svako jutro sounds more everyday and conversational.

Both are correct; the difference is mainly style and tone.
