Idi pravo; most je blizu.

Idi is the informal singular imperative of ići (to go). It is used when speaking to one person in a casual or familiar way.

So:

• idi = go! (to one person, informal)
• idite = go! (to more than one person, or to one person formally)

This is a very common way to give directions.

Here pravo is being used as an adverb, meaning straight or straight ahead.

So Idi pravo means Go straight.

Even though pravo can also be an adjective/neuter form in other contexts, in this sentence it functions adverbially, so you can think of it as a fixed expression often used in directions.

Yes. Idi ravno can also mean Go straight.

Both pravo and ravno are used in Serbian for directions. In everyday speech, pravo is very common in phrases like:

• Idi pravo
• Samo pravo

A learner should understand both, but the sentence you have is completely natural.

Most is in the nominative singular because it is the subject of the clause most je blizu.

In other words:

• most = the bridge
• je blizu = is near / is close

So most stays in its basic dictionary form here.

Je is the 3rd person singular present tense of biti (to be), so it means is.

So:

• most je blizu = the bridge is near

Unlike in some other sentence types, you normally keep je here in standard Serbian. It is an important part of the clause.

Blizu means near or close. In this sentence, it works as a predicative word after je, so:

• Most je blizu = The bridge is close / nearby

A useful thing to know is that blizu can also be followed by a noun in the genitive:

• blizu mosta = near the bridge

But in your sentence, there is no extra noun after blizu, so it simply means nearby.

No. The semicolon is just a punctuation choice linking two closely related ideas:

• Idi pravo
• most je blizu

You could also write:

• Idi pravo. Most je blizu.
• Idi pravo, most je blizu.

The semicolon makes the connection feel a little more deliberate in writing, but the meaning stays the same.

Not completely. Serbian word order is more flexible than English word order, although some versions sound more natural in context.

The original sentence is natural because it first gives the instruction, then adds the reason or helpful information:

• Idi pravo; most je blizu.

You could also say:

• Most je blizu. Idi pravo.

But that changes the flow a little. In directions, giving the command first is often the most natural choice.

You would usually replace idi with idite:

• Idite pravo; most je blizu.

This can mean:

• Go straight; the bridge is near.
  when speaking politely to one person, or
• the same thing when speaking to more than one person

So the only change is the imperative form.

A simple English-friendly approximation is:

• Idi pravo ≈ EE-dee PRAH-vo
• most je blizu ≈ most yeh BLEE-zoo

A few helpful notes:

• j in Serbian is pronounced like English y
• i is usually like ee in see
• u is like oo in food

So je sounds like yeh, not like English jee.

Yes, very common. It is short, natural, and exactly the kind of phrase you will hear when someone is telling another person where to go.

Other common direction phrases include:

• Skreni levo = Turn left
• Skreni desno = Turn right
• Idi pravo = Go straight

So this sentence is a very practical example of everyday Serbian.
