Learning a new language can feel like embarking on an exciting adventure. And just like any great adventure, understanding the basics is crucial to navigating successfully. Today, we’re diving into one of the essential building blocks of Croatian grammar: the present tense of regular verbs. Mastering this aspect of the language will empower you to express daily actions, thoughts, and feelings with ease.
In this lesson, we will:
* Understand what regular verbs are in Croatian.
* Learn how to conjugate these verbs in the present tense.
* Explore the different verb endings for each person (I, you, he/she/it, we, you all, they).
* Practice using these conjugations in simple sentences.
Let's get started!
__TOC__
== Understanding Regular Verbs in Croatian ==
Regular verbs in Croatian follow a predictable pattern when conjugated in the present tense. This makes it easier for you to learn and use them in everyday conversations. In Croatian, verbs can be categorized into three main groups based on their endings in the infinitive form: -ati, -iti, and -ovati.
=== Infinitive Forms ===
* '''-ati''' verbs: These are the most common regular verbs. For example, "raditi" (to work).
* '''-iti''' verbs: These may also be regular but can include some exceptions. For example, "učiti" (to learn).
* '''-ovati''' verbs: Less common but still regular. For example, "voljeti" (to love).
=== Conjugation Patterns ===
The conjugation of regular verbs in the present tense involves changing the verb endings according to the subject pronoun. Let's break it down!
=== Verb Endings ===
Here’s a quick overview of the endings for regular verbs in the present tense:
* '''-ati''' verbs:
* I (ja): -am
* You (ti): -aš
* He/She/It (on/ona/ono): -a
* We (mi): -amo
* You all (vi): -ate
* They (oni): -aju
* '''-iti''' verbs:
* I (ja): -im
* You (ti): -iš
* He/She/It (on/ona/ono): -i
* We (mi): -imo
* You all (vi): -ite
* They (oni): -e
* '''-ovati''' verbs:
* I (ja): -ujem
* You (ti): -uješ

== What is the present tense? ==
* They (oni): -uju


The present tense is a verb form used to describe actions that are happening at the moment of speaking or are regularly occurring in the present. In Croatian, the present tense can also be used to describe future actions or to express general truths.

Croatian → Grammar → 0 to A1 Course → Present Tense of Regular Verbs

Learning a new language can feel like embarking on an exciting adventure. And just like any great adventure, understanding the basics is crucial to navigating successfully. Today, we’re diving into one of the essential building blocks of Croatian grammar: the present tense of regular verbs. Mastering this aspect of the language will empower you to express daily actions, thoughts, and feelings with ease.

In this lesson, we will:

  • Understand what regular verbs are in Croatian.
  • Learn how to conjugate these verbs in the present tense.
  • Explore the different verb endings for each person (I, you, he/she/it, we, you all, they).
  • Practice using these conjugations in simple sentences.

Let's get started!

Understanding Regular Verbs in Croatian[edit | edit source]

Regular verbs in Croatian follow a predictable pattern when conjugated in the present tense. This makes it easier for you to learn and use them in everyday conversations. In Croatian, verbs can be categorized into three main groups based on their endings in the infinitive form: -ati, -iti, and -ovati.

Infinitive Forms[edit | edit source]

  • -ati verbs: These are the most common regular verbs. For example, "raditi" (to work).
  • -iti verbs: These may also be regular but can include some exceptions. For example, "učiti" (to learn).
  • -ovati verbs: Less common but still regular. For example, "voljeti" (to love).

Conjugation Patterns[edit | edit source]

The conjugation of regular verbs in the present tense involves changing the verb endings according to the subject pronoun. Let's break it down!

  • They (oni): -e
  • -ovati verbs:
  • I (ja): -ujem
