don't know, never noticed this. I've once heard a tram driver announcing something with a messed up case, to which the whole tram responded in shock and disbelief. Ocassionally some dialects seem to exhibit this. True, Croatians don't seem to do an apparent distinction between č and ć, most of them (Istrian speech however emphasizes this differences very strongly), but nonetheless, this "one č" is still quite soft. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

not really, that sounds odd to me. it is accusative, koga? sta? nemam, not genitive, same like in your example "nemam rezervnu gumu", not "nemam rezervne gume". If, however, the sentence is impersonal, then genitive sounds more correct: "U kolima nema rezervnog tocka.", "U kolima nema rezervne gume." 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I'd say an even closer analogy is a distinction between: "my girl" and "my girlfriend.". The point is both words are present in both languages. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I have a phonetics question -- In Bosnian, is the h pronounced like the Russian x or like the German ch in Bach? Or does it depending on surrounding vowels?

It is probably lighter than Russian x. Is German ch an uvular sound? Then certainly it is
not like the German sound. Edited by Марк on 18 January 2012 at 8:53pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I believe that in both personal and impersonal negations (existence statements or possession statements) the genitive is used. For affirmative existence statements the genitive is also used, but for affirmative possession statements the accusative is used. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Your Serbian is good, I don't know what your native language is (English or Chinese) but your accent is better than the average Westerner's by a long shot, maybe it's the knowledge of tones. There are a few grammatical errors, but you'll improve. 1 person has voted this message useful |
