Questions & Answers about Pročitajte repertoar i filmski program.
Pročitajte means read in the sense of read through / read completely.
It is the imperative form of the verb pročitati, which is a perfective verb. Perfective verbs usually focus on a completed action, so pročitajte suggests:
- Read it
- Read through it
- Make sure you read it
So this is not just the general activity of reading, but reading the material as a whole.
This is a very common question, because Croatian often has verb pairs:
- čitati = to read, imperfective
- pročitati = to read through, to finish reading, perfective
Their imperatives are:
- čitajte = read / be reading / read regularly
- pročitajte = read it through / read it completely
In this sentence, pročitajte is used because the speaker is telling someone to complete the action of reading the repertoire and the film program.
So the choice suggests something like:
- Čitajte = read, keep reading
- Pročitajte = read it all, read it through
