Review · Same word, different job

No new theory. This course trains what to say — not memorizing case labels. When you speak, you don’t pick “instrumental”; you say sa prijateljem.

Bez nove teorije. Cilj je automatski izbor: situacija → spreman izraz.

Use the map, then drill the collisions you already met: u / na / po, sa, pod / nad, među / između.

Map · Job first

1 · sa / s — with vs from/off

Bold word = the job. Questions + case name are helpers — still say the chunk.

4 · među vs između

Different words — different jobs. među fills Among; između fills Between.
