Questions & Answers about Ti ideš u grad.

What does ti mean here, and do I have to include it?

Ti is the 2nd person singular pronoun: you.

In Serbian, you often do not need to say the subject pronoun, because the verb ending already shows who the subject is. So:

• Ti ideš u grad.
• Ideš u grad.

Both can mean the same thing.

Including ti usually adds emphasis, contrast, or clarity, for example:

• Ja ostajem, a ti ideš u grad.
  I’m staying, and you are going to town.

So in many everyday situations, Ideš u grad would sound very natural.

Why is the verb ideš used for you?

Ideš is the 2nd person singular present tense form of the verb ići (to go).

A very useful mini-pattern is:

• ja idem = I go / I am going
• ti ideš = you go / you are going
• on/ona/ono ide = he/she/it goes
• mi idemo = we go
• vi idete = you go
• oni/one/ona idu = they go

So ideš specifically matches ti.
