Questions & Answers about Ona dolazi ovde.
What does ona mean, and do I have to include it?
Ona is the 3rd person singular feminine pronoun: she.
In Serbian, you often do not need to include subject pronouns, because the verb ending already shows the person and number. So:
- Ona dolazi ovde.
- Dolazi ovde.
can both be correct.
Including ona usually adds a bit of emphasis, contrast, or clarity, for example if you are distinguishing she from someone else.
What verb is dolazi from?
Dolazi comes from the verb dolaziti, which means to come / to be coming / to arrive in an imperfective sense.
The infinitive is:
- dolaziti = to come, to be coming, to come regularly
In the present tense:
- ja dolazim = I come / I am coming
- ti dolaziš = you come / you are coming
- on / ona / ono dolazi = he / she / it comes, is coming
So dolazi is the he/she/it present-tense form.
Why is it dolazi and not doći?
