Questions & Answers about Ne pišite gluposti u motivacijskom pismu.
How do I know pišite is an imperative here and not a present-tense form?
Because pišite is the imperative form of pisati: write!
Compare:
- pišete = you write / you are writing (present tense)
- pišite = write! (imperative)
So Ne pišite... means Don’t write..., not You do not write...
Why is it pišite and not piši?
Pišite is used for:
- you plural: when talking to more than one person
- formal/polite you singular: when addressing one person respectfully
Piši is the informal singular form, used with one person you know well.
So:
- Ne piši gluposti. = Don’t write nonsense. (to one friend / informal)
- Ne pišite gluposti. = Don’t write nonsense. (to several people, or to one person formally)
Does Ne pišite refer to one person or more than one?
