Questions & Answers about Moja sestra ide na posao biciklom kada je vreme lepo.
Why is it moja sestra, not moj sestra?
Because moja has to agree with sestra.
In Serbian, possessives like moj / moja / moje behave a lot like adjectives, so they change for gender, number, and case.
- sestra is feminine singular
- so the correct form is moja
Compare:
- moj brat = my brother
- moja sestra = my sister
- moje dete = my child
Why is there no word for the or a?
Serbian normally does not use articles.
So sestra can mean:
- a sister
- the sister
- simply sister
The exact meaning comes from context. In this sentence, moja sestra naturally means my sister.
What form is ide?
Ide is the 3rd person singular present tense of ići = to go.
So:
- ja idem = I go / I am going
- ti ideš = you go
