| The verb SLAVITI
In the previous lesson you encountered the verb proslaviti (to celebrate something one time, a completed action). In this lesson you have seen the verb slaviti. This verb will be used when we want to indicate that someone is celebrating something repeatedly.

SINGULAR | PLURAL | ||||
ja | slav-im | mi | slav-imo | ||
ti | slav-iš | vi | slav-ite | ||
on/-a/-o | slav-i | oni/-e/-a | slav-e | ||
| Na primjer: |
Hrvati slave Božić. |
Croatians celebrate Christmas. – meaning they do it every year |
Amerikanci slave Dan zahvalnosti. |
Americans celebrate Thanksgiving. – meaning they do it every year |
| Look at the difference: |
Kad planiraš proslaviti rođendan? Planiram proslaviti rođendan u subotu. |
When are you planning to celebrate your birthday? I plan to celebrate it this Saturday. (One day only.) |
Što slaviš? Slavim Božić i Uskrs. |
What do you celebrate? I celebrate Christmas and Easter. (Every year) |
| Preposition PO
In this unit you learned that each of the countries in the region follows a specific calendar. To express this, you need to use the preposition po Locative case. For example:
| Kalendar |
Bosna slavi Bajram po lunarnom kalendaru. |
Hrvatska slavi Božić po gregorijanskom kalendaru. |
Srbija slavi Božić po julijanskom kalendaru. |
Thus, in terms of BCMS terminology, each calendar consists of: a possessive adjective (julijanski, gregorijanski, lunarni) and the noun (kalendar).
Because of this, when you want to say that a certain holiday is celebrated according to a specific calendar you need to use the preposition po and the adjective ending in the locative for ”julijanski, gregorijanski, lunarni“ and the noun ending in the locative for ”kalendar“.
| Calendar names
Julijanski kalendar The Julian calendar was proposed by Julius Caesar and used by most of the Western World until 1582. Christmas (Božić) in Serbia is celebrated according to the Julian calendar (po julijanskom kalendaru) | Gregorijanski kalendar The Gregorian calendar is used in most of the world and is named after Pope Gregory XIII, who made small modifications to the calendar in 1582. Christmas in Croatia is celebrated according to the Gregorian calendar (po gregorijanskom kalendaru). | Lunarni kalendar The lunar calendar is based on the monthly phases of the Moon. Islamic holidays in Bosnia are celebrated according to the Lunar calendar (po lunarnom kalendaru). |
