Questions & Answers about Kuda idemo do kina?

What does kuda mean here?

Kuda asks about the route or path: which way, by what route, through where.

So in Kuda idemo do kina?, the speaker is not asking where are we going? but rather which way are we going to get there?

This is different from:

• Gdje? = where? for location
• Kamo? = where to? for destination
• Kuda? = which way / by what route?

So kuda is the best choice when the destination is already known and you want to ask about the way there.

Why is it idemo?

Idemo is the 1st person plural present tense of ići = to go.

So:

• idem = I go / I’m going
• ideš = you go
• ide = he/she/it goes
• idemo = we go / we’re going
• idete = you (plural/formal) go
• idu = they go

In this sentence, idemo means we are going or we go, depending on context.

Why isn’t there a word for we in the sentence?
