Imamo izbor.

In Serbian, the verb ending often already tells you who the subject is.

• imamo = we have
• so mi (we) is usually unnecessary

You could say Mi imamo izbor, but that sounds more emphatic, like We have a choice (as opposed to someone else).

So Imamo izbor is the normal, natural way to say it.

Imamo is the 1st person plural present tense of the verb imati (to have).

Present tense of imati:

• imam = I have
• imaš = you have
• ima = he/she/it has
• imamo = we have
• imate = you plural / formal have
• imaju = they have

So imamo directly means we have.

Izbor is the direct object of imamo, so it is in the accusative case.

However, izbor is a masculine inanimate noun, and in Serbian, many masculine inanimate nouns have:

• nominative singular = izbor
• accusative singular = izbor

So the form looks the same, even though its grammatical role is different.

Izbor most often means:

• choice
• selection
• sometimes option(s) depending on context

So in Imamo izbor, it usually means we have a choice.

Be aware that izbor can also mean something like selection in other contexts, and in some situations it can relate to elections, but that is not the most likely meaning here.

Serbian does not have articles like English a/an/the.

So:

• izbor can mean a choice, the choice, or just choice, depending on context

The listener understands from the situation which meaning is intended.

If you want to make it clearer that you mean one choice, you could use jedan, but that changes the emphasis:

• Imamo jedan izbor = We have one choice

That is different from the more neutral Imamo izbor.

Yes, absolutely.

• Imamo izbor = neutral, natural
• Mi imamo izbor = we have a choice, with extra emphasis on we

Serbian often leaves subject pronouns out unless they are needed for contrast, emphasis, or clarity.

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

The most neutral order here is:

• Imamo izbor

But other orders are possible, depending on emphasis:

• Izbor imamo = more marked, emphasizing choice
• Mi imamo izbor = emphasizing we

Even though word order can change, not every version sounds equally natural in every situation. For a learner, Imamo izbor is the safest default.

A simple English-friendly approximation is:

• EE-mah-mo EEZ-bor

A few notes:

• i is like the ee in see
• a is like a in father
• o is like o in for, but shorter and cleaner
• z is like z in zoo
• r in Serbian is a rolled or tapped r

A more precise pronunciation depends on accent patterns, but this approximation is good enough for most learners at first.

It is singular.

• izbor = choice / selection
• izbori = choices / selections, and also elections in many contexts

So Imamo izbor means we have a choice, while Imamo izbore would mean we have choices or something context-dependent.

This sentence is written in the Latin script, which is very commonly used in Serbian.

In Cyrillic, it is:

• Имамо избор.

Serbian regularly uses both scripts, and they match very closely letter-for-letter.

Yes, Imamo izbor is natural Serbian.

A native speaker might also say other things depending on nuance, for example:

• Imamo izbor. = We have a choice.
• Imamo mogućnost. = We have a possibility / option.
• Možemo da biramo. = We can choose.

But Imamo izbor is perfectly normal and idiomatic.
