Choose the correct genitive form of the noun shown. Prepositions like bez, iz, od, do, kod, posle — and negation — all govern the genitive.
Masculine: grad → grada · Feminine: žena → žene · Neuter: selo → sela (some neuters have an extended stem: vreme → vremena, dete → deteta).
Watch for: nema + genitive (Nema vremena), genitive plural after puno/malo (puno gostiju, puno knjiga), and the paucal after 2–4 for feminine nouns (dve knjige).
