This is the 938th most frequent Serbian word.
гостима
The Serbian word "гостима" means "to the guests" or "for the guests."
The word 'гостима' is in the dative plural form, used here to indicate the indirect object of the verb.
Послужили смо ручак нашим гостима.
We served lunch to our guests.
Here, 'гостима' is again in the dative plural, expressing to whom the action of addressing is directed.
Пажљиво смо се обраћали гостима.
We addressed the guests carefully.
In this sentence, although intended to use 'гостима' in the dative, it is incorrectly used with the preposition 'за'; the correct form would be 'за госте' instead, demonstrating a common learner mistake.
