What does this Serbian word mean?

Zdravo

ZDRAH-vo

Questions are shown in Latin script. Serbian is written in both alphabets and neither is more correct, so reading only one of the two costs you nothing on this test.

What each level means in Serbian

The CEFR bands are the same everywhere. What sits inside them is not — A2 in Serbian asks for things A2 in another language never mentions. Here is what your result actually describes.

A1
Complete beginner

Greetings, numbers, "ja sam", and the café vocabulary. You can order a coffee unaided. Nouns visibly change their endings and you have noticed without yet knowing the system behind it.

A2
Elementary

Accusative and locative are tellable apart, the past tense with sam / si / je works, and you can describe your family and your day without rehearsing first.

B1
Intermediate

Most of the seven cases behave, verbal aspect is a deliberate choice rather than a guess, and you can hold a conversation with relatives who are not slowing down for you.

The way Serbian learners misread their own level

This is the test heritage speakers most often surprise themselves with. Understanding everything at the family table is comprehension, which is what a multiple-choice test measures — the speaking gap is a separate number entirely.

Worth remembering either way: a multiple-choice test measures recognition. Speaking is a different muscle, and it is the one that decides whether a conversation happens.

After the test
