Lesson 97. When the Vocative is Required

Zdravo, prijatelju! (Здраво, пријатељу!)
— Hello, friend!
Molim te, Ana — Ano, molim te! (Ано, молим те!)
— Ana, please!
Hvala, učitelju. (Хвала, учитељу.)
— Thank you, teacher.

In casual speech, Serbs sometimes skip the vocative, but in proper speech (school, letters) it is required.
