Pričamo o planu.

In Serbian, the subject pronoun is often omitted if the verb already shows who is doing the action.

Pričamo means we talk / we are talking, so the pronoun mi (we) is not necessary.

You could say:

Mi pričamo o planu.

but it usually sounds more natural to leave mi out unless you want extra emphasis, such as we (not someone else).

Pričamo is the 1st person plural present tense form of the verb pričati.

So it means:

• we talk
• we are talking
• sometimes we tell stories / chat, depending on context

In this sentence, Pričamo o planu, it means we are talking about the plan or we talk about the plan.

Like many Serbian present-tense forms, it can describe:

• something happening right now
• something happening regularly
• something true in a general sense

The exact meaning depends on context.

Because the preposition o usually requires the locative case in Serbian when it means about.

So:

• dictionary form: plan
• after o: o planu

This is similar to how some languages change the noun after certain prepositions. English does not do this much, but Serbian does it all the time.

Planu is in the locative singular.

The noun is:

• plan = nominative singular
• planu = locative singular

In this sentence, o + locative is the key pattern:

• o planu = about the plan
• o gradu = about the city
• o problemu = about the problem

So this sentence is a good example of a very common Serbian structure: pričati o + locative.

Not always, but very often in sentences like this.

Here, o means about:

• Pričamo o planu. = We are talking about the plan.

But o can appear in other expressions too, and prepositions do not always match English perfectly word-for-word.

For learners, the useful rule is:

• pričati o nečemu = to talk about something
• govoriti o nečemu = to speak about something
• misliti o nečemu = to think about something

So yes, in this sentence, o is best understood as about.

Both can work, but they are not exactly the same in feel.

• Pričamo o planu. = We’re talking about the plan.

  • more conversational
  • often feels like chatting or discussing

• Govorimo o planu. = We’re speaking/talking about the plan.

  • a bit more neutral or formal
  • can sound slightly more like speaking on a topic

In many everyday situations, they overlap. But pričati often feels more natural in casual conversation.

Pričati is imperfective.

That means it is used for:

• ongoing actions
• repeated actions
• general statements

So Pričamo o planu naturally means an ongoing or regular action: We are talking about the plan.

If you are learning aspect, this is an important point: the present tense of an imperfective verb can describe what is happening now.

A simple learner-friendly pronunciation guide is:

PREE-cha-mo o PLA-noo

A few notes:

• č sounds like ch in church
• c and č are different letters in Serbian, but here you only have č
• u is pronounced like oo in food

So:

• Pričamo ≈ PREE-cha-mo
• o planu ≈ o PLA-noo

Yes. Serbian word order is more flexible than English word order.

The neutral order here is:

Pričamo o planu.

But you may also hear:

• O planu pričamo.
• Mi pričamo o planu.

These versions are not random; they usually change the emphasis.

For example:

• Pričamo o planu. = neutral
• O planu pričamo. = emphasis on about the plan
• Mi pričamo o planu. = emphasis on we

So the original sentence is the most neutral, everyday version.

Yes.

Serbian present tense often covers both meanings that English separates into:

• simple present
• present continuous

So Pričamo o planu can mean:

• We talk about the plan (habitually / in general)
• We are talking about the plan (right now)

Context tells you which one is meant.

You add ne before the verb:

Ne pričamo o planu.

That means:

• We are not talking about the plan.
• We do not talk about the plan.

This is the normal way to negate present-tense verbs in Serbian.

The base form is plan.

It is a masculine noun.

So:

• plan = nominative singular
• planu = locative singular after o

This -u ending is very common for masculine and neuter nouns in the locative singular after certain prepositions.

Yes, absolutely.

Pričamo o planu. is a perfectly normal, complete Serbian sentence.

It has:

• a verb: pričamo
• the topic introduced with a preposition: o planu

Because Serbian often drops the subject pronoun, a sentence can be very short and still be complete and natural.
