danas sutra jučer
Today, Tomorrow, Yesterday
Danas, sutra, jučer and sada say when something happens: Danas radim, a sutra idem u Mostar.
How It Works
These words do not change.
| Bosnian | English |
|---|---|
| danas | today |
| sutra | tomorrow |
| jučer | yesterday |
| sada | now |
| večeras | this evening |
| prekjučer | the day before yesterday |
| prekosutra | the day after tomorrow |
In Bosnia you will hear both jučer and juče for yesterday. This course uses jučer. Do not mix up sutra (tomorrow) with jutro (morning). They look alike, but they are different words.
At Level 1, we use the time words with the present: Sutra idem u Mostar. For yesterday, a short sentence with je bio is enough for now. The full past tense comes at Level 3.
Examples (5)
- Danas radim u Tuzli.
Today I am working in Tuzla.
Danas places the action today.
- Sutra idem u Mostar.
Tomorrow I am going to Mostar.
Sutra with the present can mean a plan.
- Jučer je bio ponedjeljak.
Yesterday was Monday.
Je bio is the past of the verb to be.
- Sada sam kod kuće.
Now I am at home.
Sada means right now.
- Večeras gledamo film.
Tonight we are watching a film.
Večeras means this evening.
