Plural in Serbian

. Words that ends with:

  • a in plural form changes to e
  • e,o in plural form changes to a
  • Everything else gets suffix i
  • There are possible exceptions from rule above like:
    • уво - уши (ear) ;
    • око - очи (eye)


Serbian language also have genitive plural, that makes that there are even 2 and in some cases 3 plural forms. Genitive plural is used in counting, from numbers 2-4 have one form, and starting from 5 have another form. Some genitive plurals are same as singular, but with different accent. During counting, with numbers that ends with 1 (exception in 11, 111, 211, 5411...), noun is always in singular form. Other number endings (except for 11-19) apply rule from genitive plural.


Next words: врата (door), маказе (scissor), мердевине(ladder), кола (car) don't have singular form.


Also is in some casses present form of plural that is used to represent group of something: цвет-цветови-цвеће (flower), лист-листови-лишће (leaf)
