Questions & Answers about Ona trenira u parku jer želi biti zdrava.
What does “trenirati” mean here? Is it “to train” like athletes, or just “to exercise”?
Trenirati most often means:
- to train / to work out / to exercise (physically) – e.g. going for a run, doing workouts
- It can also mean to practice a sport in a more serious, athletic sense.
In this sentence, “Ona trenira u parku” is most naturally understood as:
“She works out / exercises in the park.”
If you just want the idea of “doing exercises” without the nuance of sports training, you might also hear vježbati (“to exercise / to practice”), but trenirati is very common for working out.
Why is it “Ona trenira” and not something like “Ona treniram / treniri / trenire”?
The verb trenirati is being conjugated in the present tense, 3rd person singular (he/she/it):
- ja treniram – I train
- ti treniraš – you train (singular)
- on/ona/ono trenira – he/she/it trains
- mi treniramo – we train
- vi trenirate – you train (plural/formal)
- oni/one/ona treniraju – they train
Because the subject is ona (“she”), you must use trenir*a → ona trenira.
Can I leave out “Ona” and just say “Trenira u parku jer želi biti zdrava”?
