Questions & Answers about Moju majku boli stomak i lekar dolazi danas.

Why is it moju majku instead of moja majka?

Because with boleti (to hurt), Serbian usually treats the thing that hurts as the grammatical subject, and the person who feels the pain as the direct object.

So in this sentence:

• stomak = the thing that hurts → subject
• moju majku = the person affected → direct object

That is why moja majka changes to moju majku.

A very literal way to think of it is:

• Stomak boli moju majku = The stomach hurts my mother

Even though English usually says My mother’s stomach hurts or My mother has a stomachache, Serbian structures it differently.

What case is moju majku, and why?

It is accusative singular.

Here is the breakdown:

• moja → moju
• majka → majku

Both words change because the whole noun phrase is in the accusative case. Serbian marks case not just on the noun, but also on words that agree with it, such as possessives and adjectives.

Why do both moju and majku end in -u?

Because they have to agree with each other.
