Questions & Answers about Ne možemo sve ponijeti odjednom.

What does ne možemo mean exactly?

Ne možemo means we cannot / we can’t.

• možemo = we can
• ne = the negation particle, so it makes the verb negative

So:

• možemo → we can
• ne možemo → we can’t

Možemo is the 1st person plural present tense of moći = to be able to / can.

In this sentence, it expresses ability or practical possibility, not permission. So the idea is: we’re not able to take everything at once.

Why is ponijeti used here? What does it mean?

Ponijeti means to take along / to carry off with you / to bring along, depending on context.

In this sentence, it has the sense of taking or carrying something with us.

A useful nuance:

• ponijeti is perfective
• it suggests a completed act of taking/carrying something

So sve ponijeti is closer to:

• take everything
• carry everything away
• bring everything along

as one complete action, not as an ongoing process.

That fits well with odjednom = all at once / in one go.
