Q: Is the PDF of Svetozar Nikolic Staroslovenski Jezik II available for free? A: Potentially on Slavic Studies Discord servers or Telegram groups dedicated to philology, but these are unofficial. Legally, you must purchase a used copy or access a library scan.
Q: What is the difference between "II" and "II Pr"? A: "II" alone may refer to the theory textbook. "II Pr" specifically indicates the Priručnik (workbook) which includes exercises and reading texts. Most students need the combined edition.
Q: Is the book in Latin or Cyrillic script? A: Nikolić writes his explanations in Serbian Cyrillic, but quotes OCS in the original Glagolitic and Cyrillic. You need to read Serbian Cyrillic fluently to use this PDF.
Q: I found a scan, but it is missing pages 143–150 (syntax of participles). What do I do? A: This is a common scanning error. Use the "missing pages" feature on archive.org to request a fill, or source those pages from Josip Hamm’s Staroslavenska gramatika (pages 210-220). Svetozar Nikolic Staroslovenski Jezik Ii Pr Pdf
