Did you know?
- Depending on the context, a Serbian speaker might respond to a negative statement like 'I don't like this' with ни ја, which translates to 'neither do I'.
- The word ја meaning 'I' is a direct descendant of the Proto-Indo-European root *éǵh₂. This makes it a very distant relative of the English word 'I'.
- If you want to say 'me too' regarding an object or an idea instead of yourself, you must swap ја for мене or ме, changing the grammar entirely.
