Hi [https://polyglotclub.com/language/bosnian Bosnian] learners! 😊<br>In this lesson, we will be discussing how to use the verb "have" in Bosnian. We will explore the different ways you can use the verb in different contexts and understand how it varies from how it is used in English. Let's get started!
The verb "have" in Bosnian is ''imati''. It is an irregular verb, so it does not follow the regular conjugation rules. Here is the conjugation of the verb "have" in Bosnian:  
 
__TOC__
 
== Basic Usage ==
 
The verb "have" in Bosnian can be translated as "imati". It is most commonly used to indicate possession. Let's look at a few examples:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Bosnian !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
! Person !! Singular !! Plural
| Imam kuću || EE-mam KOO-chu || I have a house
|-
|-
| I || imam (''i-mam'') || imamo (''i-ma-mo'')
| Ona ima novac || OH-na EE-ma NO-vats || She has money
|-
|-
| You || imaš (''i-maš'') || imate (''i-ma-te'')
| Imamo auto || EE-ma-mo OW-to || We have a car
|-
|-
| He/She/It || ima (''i-ma'') || imaju (''i-ma-ju'')
| Imaju mačku || EE-ma-yu MAH-ch-koo || They have a cat
|}
 
Note that in Bosnian, the verb "imati" is used with pronouns to describe possession.
 
== Expressing Obligation ==
 
The verb "have" can also be used to express obligation in Bosnian.
 
To indicate that something must be done, we use the auxiliary verb "trebati" in combination with the main verb "imati". For example:
 
{| class="wikitable"
! Bosnian !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| We || imamo (''i-ma-mo'') || imamo (''i-ma-mo'')
| Trebaš imati vizu || TRE-bash EE-ma-tee VEE-zoo || You have to have a visa
|-
|-
| You || imate (''i-ma-te'') || imate (''i-ma-te'')
| Trebamo imati dozvolu || TRE-ba-mo EE-ma-tee doz-VO-loo || We have to have a permit
|-
|-
| They || imaju (''i-ma-ju'') || imaju (''i-ma-ju'')
| Trebate imati pasoš || TRE-ba-te EE-ma-tee PAH-sosh || You have to have a passport
|}
|}


== Usage ==
Note that in the above examples, we used the verbs "trebati" and "imati" together to express the idea of obligation.
The verb "have" is used in many different contexts in Bosnian. Here are some examples of how it is used:
 
== Expressing Completeness ==


=== Possession ===
In Bosnian, "have" can also be used to express completeness of an action.
The verb "have" is used to express possession. For example:
* Person 1: ''Imam kuću.'' (''I have a house.'')
* Person 2: ''Ja nemam kuću.'' (''I don't have a house.'')


=== Experiences ===
For example, instead of saying "I have eaten my breakfast," you can simply say "I ate my breakfast". However, sometimes it is more precise to use the form "to have eaten". In this case, we use the verb "jesti" (to eat) and the auxiliary verb "biti" (to be) in combination with "imati".
The verb "have" is also used to express experiences. For example:
 
* Person 1: ''Imam sreću.'' (''I have luck.'')
{| class="wikitable"
* Person 2: ''Ja nemam sreću.'' (''I don't have luck.'')
! Bosnian !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| Ja sam jutros doručkovao || Ya sam YOO-tros do-roo-ch-ko-VAO || I had breakfast this morning
|-
| Oni su već ručali || O-nee soo već ROO-cha-lee || They have already had lunch
|}

== Negation ==
The verb "have" can also be used to express actions. For example:
* Person 1: ''Imam ideju.'' (''I have an idea.'')
* Person 2: ''Ja nemam ideju.'' (''I don't have an idea.'')


== Examples ==
To negate the verb "have" in Bosnian, we use the word "nemati" instead of "imati". Here are a few examples:

Hi Bosnian learners! 😊
In this lesson, we will be discussing how to use the verb "have" in Bosnian. We will explore the different ways you can use the verb in different contexts and understand how it varies from how it is used in English. Let's get started!

Basic Usage

The verb "have" in Bosnian can be translated as "imati". It is most commonly used to indicate possession. Let's look at a few examples:

Bosnian Pronunciation English
Imam kuću EE-mam KOO-chu I have a house
Ona ima novac OH-na EE-ma NO-vats She has money
Imamo auto EE-ma-mo OW-to We have a car
Imaju mačku EE-ma-yu MAH-ch-koo They have a cat

Note that in Bosnian, the verb "imati" is used with pronouns to describe possession.

Expressing Obligation

The verb "have" can also be used to express obligation in Bosnian.

To indicate that something must be done, we use the auxiliary verb "trebati" in combination with the main verb "imati". For example:

Bosnian Pronunciation English

Trebamo imati dozvolu TRE-ba-mo EE-ma-tee doz-VO-loo We have to have a permit

In Bosnian, "have" can also be used to express completeness of an action.

For example, instead of saying "I have eaten my breakfast," you can simply say "I ate my breakfast". However, sometimes it is more precise to use the form "to have eaten". In this case, we use the verb "jesti" (to eat) and the auxiliary verb "biti" (to be) in combination with "imati".

Bosnian Pronunciation English
Ja sam jutros doručkovao Ya sam YOO-tros do-roo-ch-ko-VAO I had breakfast this morning
Oni su već ručali O-nee soo već ROO-cha-lee They have already had lunch

Negation

To negate the verb "have" in Bosnian, we use the word "nemati" instead of "imati". Here are a few examples:

Bosnian Pronunciation English
Nemam stan NE-mam stan I don't have an apartment
Nema novca NE-ma NO-vats There is no money
Nemamo vremena NE-ma-mo VRE-me-na We don't have time
Nemate pravo NE-ma-te PRA-vo You don't have the right

Dialogue
