How is negation formed in Ne želim?
Serbian usually forms sentence negation by putting ne in front of the verb.
- želim = I want
- ne želim = I do not want / I don’t want
In this sentence, ne is written separately from želim. That is the normal pattern with most present-tense verbs.
What form is želim?
Želim is the 1st person singular present tense of the verb želeti (also seen as željeti in some varieties).
So:
- ja želim = I want
- ja ne želim = I do not want
The subject ja is not stated because Serbian often leaves subject pronouns out when the verb ending already makes the subject clear.
Why is it paket and not some different form after želim?
Because paket is the direct object of želim, so it is in the accusative case.
However, paket is a masculine inanimate noun, and for many masculine inanimate nouns, the accusative singular looks the same as the nominative singular.
So:
- nominative: paket
- accusative:
