Sasvim sam spremna.

Sasvim means completely, entirely, or sometimes quite, depending on context.

In Sasvim sam spremna, it strengthens spremna, so the sentence means something like I’m completely ready or I’m totally ready.

A few rough equivalents:

• sasvim spremna = completely ready
• sometimes sasvim can also feel like quite or perfectly

Sam is the 1st person singular present tense of biti (to be), so it means am.

So:

• ja sam = I am
• ti si = you are
• on/ona/ono je = he/she/it is

In this sentence:

• sam = am

That is why Sasvim sam spremna means I am completely ready.

Because spremna is the feminine singular form of the adjective.

Serbian adjectives change to match the gender and number of the person or thing they describe.

Here are the basic forms:

• spreman = masculine singular
• spremna = feminine singular
• spremno = neuter singular
• spremni / spremne = plural, depending on gender/mixed group

So:

• a woman says Sasvim sam spremna
• a man says Sasvim sam spreman

Yes. Ja sam sasvim spremna is correct.

Serbian often leaves out subject pronouns when they are already clear from the verb form. Since sam already shows I am, ja is usually unnecessary.

Compare:

• Sasvim sam spremna. = natural, neutral
• Ja sam sasvim spremna. = I am completely ready, with extra emphasis on I

So omitting ja is very common and natural.

Serbian word order is fairly flexible, but this order is natural and common.

The sentence is:

• sasvim = completely
• sam = am
• spremna = ready

You may also hear:

• Sasvim sam spremna.
• Sam sasvim spremna. (less common in isolation)
• Spremna sam. = I’m ready.
• Potpuno sam spremna. = I’m completely ready.

In Serbian, short verb forms like sam often tend to appear in the second position of the sentence or clause. That helps explain why sam comes after sasvim here.

They are similar in some contexts, but not identical.

• vrlo usually means very
• sasvim usually means completely, entirely, or sometimes quite

So:

• Vrlo sam spremna. = I am very ready.
• Sasvim sam spremna. = I am completely / totally ready.

In this sentence, sasvim suggests a stronger sense of fullness or completeness than vrlo.

Yes. Potpuno sam spremna is also correct and means I’m completely ready.

The difference is mostly stylistic:

• sasvim is very common and natural
• potpuno is also common, and can sound a bit more explicitly like completely

Both work well.

It can mean both.

Spreman/spremna is used for:

• being ready to leave
• being prepared for an exam
• being willing/prepared to do something
• being mentally ready

Examples:

• Spremna sam za put. = I’m ready for the trip.
• Spremna sam za ispit. = I’m ready for the exam.
• Spremna sam da počnem. = I’m ready to begin.

So in Sasvim sam spremna, the exact kind of readiness depends on the context.

A man would say:

Sasvim sam spreman.

Only the adjective changes:

• feminine: spremna
• masculine: spreman

Everything else stays the same.

You would use the plural form of both to be and the adjective.

Examples:

• Sasvim smo spremni. = We are completely ready.
  
  • used for a masculine group or a mixed group
• Sasvim smo spremne. = We are completely ready.
  
  • used for an all-female group

So:

• sam changes to smo
• spremna changes to the appropriate plural form

You negate sam by using nisam.

So:

• Sasvim sam spremna. = I’m completely ready.
• Nisam sasvim spremna. = I’m not completely ready.

Notice that nisam sasvim spremna usually means I’m not completely ready, not necessarily I’m completely not ready.

If you wanted simply I’m not ready, you would say:

• Nisam spremna.

A simple pronunciation guide is:

Sasvim sam spremna
roughly: SAHS-veem sahm SPREM-nah

Very roughly:

• s is like English s
• a is like a in father
• v is like English v
• spremna has a clearly pronounced mn cluster: sprem-na

A more careful breakdown:

• sas-vim
• sam
• sprem-na

Yes, very natural.

A Serbian speaker could say Sasvim sam spremna in everyday conversation when they want to emphasize that they are fully ready.

For example:

• before leaving
• before starting work
• before an event
• before answering a question
• before doing something important

Without emphasis, people might simply say:

• Spremna sam. = I’m ready.

With stronger emphasis:

• Sasvim sam spremna. = I’m completely ready.
