| Adjectives | () As you've learned in the previous lesson, an adjective is any word used to describe another word, for example: Big, fat, strong, timid, silly etc... |
| The sea is blue | More je plavo |
| The apple is yellow | Jabuka je žuta |
| The leaf is green | List je zelen |
| The eye is brown | Oko je smeđe When describing a neuter word, some adjectives get an -e instead of an -o, but there's a pretty effective rule to know when to add -e, and thats when the adjective ends with a non english letter (š, đ, č, ć, ž): vruć- = vruće (hot), loš - loše (bad)... |
| It's bad. | Loše je |
| The car is dark red | Auto je tamnocrveno When colors are dark, you add 'tamno-' before them: tamnoplavo (dark blue), tamnozeleno (dark green), tamnosmeđe (dark brown)... |

| Blonde hair | plava kosa Yes, plava does mean blue; Yes, plava also means blonde; Yes, I know it's stupid. |
| The shirt is colorful | Majca je šarena Šareno - multicolored, colorful, vibrant... |
| The room is completely white | Soba je potpuno bijela potpuno - completely |
| Black-and-white TV | crno-bjeli televizor You can also combine color sets, with the second adjective of the color combo being the one that gets changed according to gender; "crni-bjeli televizor" would be incorrect |

| it's good, she's good, he's good | dobro je, dobra je, dobar je Some adjectives have a slightly different masculine form, an 'a' gets sandwiched between the two final letters, while in the feminine and neuter form, the 'a' is deleted: dobr- = dobar (good), hladn- = hladan (cold), prazn- = prazan (empty)... |
