Questions & Answers about Roditelji idu u ljekarnu svaki tjedan.
What does the verb form idu correspond to, and how is ići conjugated?
- idu = 3rd person plural present of ići (they go).
- Present conjugation of ići: idem, ideš, ide, idemo, idete, idu.
- ići is imperfective, so it naturally expresses habitual actions like “every week.”
Why is it u ljekarnu and not u ljekarni?
- Movement into a place uses u + accusative: u ljekarnu (to the pharmacy).
- Location (being inside) uses u + locative: u ljekarni (in/at the pharmacy).
- So: Idem u ljekarnu vs. Jesam u ljekarni / Nalazim se u ljekarni.
Why does ljekarna change to ljekarnu?
- Ljekarna is a feminine noun in -a. In the singular accusative (used after motion with u), -a changes to -u: ljekarnu.
- Similar patterns: škola → školu, pošta → poštu, kuća → kuću.
