Questions & Answers about Posle posla se ne osećam dobro, ali moram malo da se odmaram.

Why is it posla and not posao in Posle posla?

Because posle requires the genitive case.

• Base form: posao = work, job
• After posle = after, it changes to posla

So:

• posao = nominative
• posla = genitive

That is why Posle posla means after work.

Why is se used twice in this sentence?

Because both osećati se and odmarati se are reflexive verbs in Serbian.

• osećati se = to feel
• odmarati se = to rest

Here, se is not translating a separate English word like myself. It is simply part of how these verbs are normally used.

So:

• ne osećam dobro would sound wrong for I don’t feel well
• odmaram without se usually means I am resting something / giving rest in a different sense, not I am resting myself
