Questions & Answers about Posle doručka se tuširam i oblačim se za posao.

Why is it posle doručka and not posle doručak?

Because posle normally requires the genitive case in Serbian.

• doručak = breakfast (dictionary form, nominative)
• doručka = genitive singular

So:

• posle doručka = after breakfast
• literally: after of-breakfast

This is a very common pattern:

• posle škole = after school
• posle ručka = after lunch
• posle posla = after work

What does se mean in this sentence?

Se is the Serbian reflexive particle. It is used with many verbs when the action refers back to the subject, often like English myself / yourself / himself, but in Serbian it is usually much more natural and common.

Here:

• tuširati se = to shower
• oblačiti se = to get dressed / to dress oneself

So:

• tuširam se = I shower
• oblačim se = I get dressed

In English, we usually do not say I shower myself or I dress myself in normal situations, but Serbian often uses se where English does not.
