-Greetings, language learners! I am excited to teach you about the Present Tense of Irregular Verbs in Croatian. This lesson is part of the "Complete 0 to A1 Croatian Course" and is specifically tailored for beginners.
+=== Understanding Irregular Verbs ===
+Irregular verbs in Croatian differ from regular verbs in their conjugation patterns. While regular verbs follow a specific set of rules, irregular verbs change their endings in unique ways that you need to memorize. In Croatian, some common irregular verbs include:
+* '''biti''' (to be)
+* '''imati''' (to have)
+* '''ići''' (to go)
+* '''vidjeti''' (to see)
+* '''doći''' (to come)
+Understanding these verbs will help you describe actions, states, and experiences more accurately.
+=== Conjugation of Common Irregular Verbs ===
+Let’s look at how to conjugate these common irregular verbs in the present tense. Below, you will find their conjugation for all personal pronouns.
+==== Verb: biti (to be) ====
+{| class="wikitable"
+! Croatian !! Pronunciation !! English
+|-
+| ja sam || ya sahm || I am
+|-
+| ti si || ti see || you are (singular)
+|-
+| on/ona/ono je || on/ona/ono yeh || he/she/it is
+|-
-As you already know, the present tense is used to describe actions being performed currently. In previous lessons, you learned about the Present Tense of Regular Verbs. In this lesson, we will cover the Present Tense of Irregular verbs.
+| mi smo || mee smoh || we are
-Irregular verbs are commonly used verbs that do not follow the typical conjugation rules that regular verbs follow. This means that you must memorize the conjugations for each irregular verb, and these verbs are often used in day-to-day speech.
+|-
-Before we begin, it is essential to review the present tense endings. The endings are placed at the end of the stem (the part of the verb before the ending). Here is an example with the verb "gledati" (to watch):
+| vi ste || vee steh || you are (plural/formal)
-| Present Tense Endings ||
+|-
-| -am || Ja gledam (I watch) |
-| -aš || Ti gledaš (You watch) |
-| -a || On/Ona/Ono gleda (He/She/It watches) |
-| -amo || Mi gledamo (We watch) |
-| -ate || Vi gledate (You all watch) |
-| -aju || Oni/One/Ona gledaju (They watch) |
-As you can see, the endings depend on the subject of the sentence. Now, let's move on to the irregular present tense verbs, starting with "biti" (to be).
+| oni/one/ona su || oh-nee/oh-neh/oh-nah soo || they are
-== "To Be" in Present Tense ==
+|}
-"Biti" is a highly irregular verb that means "to be." In Croatian, "biti" conjugates differently than other verbs. Below is a table with the conjugations for "biti" in the Present Tense:
+==== Verb: imati (to have) ====
 {| class="wikitable"

-| Ja sam  || ya sahm || I am
+| ja imam || ya ee-mahm || I have

 |-
-| Oni/One/Ona su || ohnee/ohneh/ohnah soo || They are
+| oni/one/ona imaju || oh-nee/oh-neh/oh-nah ee-mah-yoo || they have
 |}
-It is important to note that the verb "biti" can be omitted in conversational Croatian when the context is already understood. For example, instead of saying "Ja sam student" (I am a student), you can just say "student" (a student). Let's move on to other common irregular verbs.
