Questions & Answers about Recimo, smanjite troškove.

What does recimo mean here?

Here recimo works like for example, let’s say, or say in English.

It does not carry the main action of the sentence. The main instruction is smanjite troškove.
Recimo just introduces it as one possible example:

• Recimo, smanjite troškove. = For example, reduce costs.

So it helps frame the sentence rather than adding a new action.

Is recimo actually a verb form?

Yes. Recimo is originally the 1st person plural imperative of reći (to say), literally something like let’s say.

In real usage, though, it is very often an idiomatic discourse word meaning:

• let’s say
• for example
• suppose

So in this sentence, learners should understand it as a fixed expression rather than as a literal command to say something.

Why is there a comma after recimo?

The comma is there because recimo is being used as an introductory word or discourse marker.

It is similar to English punctuation in phrases like:

• For example, reduce costs.
• Say, reduce costs.

The comma separates this introductory element from the main clause.
