Questions & Answers about Dok čekamo u redu, razgovaramo o svom planu za sutra.
What does dok mean here?
Dok means while in this sentence.
It introduces a clause that describes something happening at the same time as the main action:
- Dok čekamo u redu = While we are waiting in line
- razgovaramo o svom planu za sutra = we are talking about our plan for tomorrow
So dok connects two simultaneous actions.
Why are čekamo and razgovaramo in the present tense?
Serbian often uses the present tense for actions happening right now or for actions that are generally ongoing.
Here:
- čekamo = we wait / we are waiting
- razgovaramo = we talk / we are talking
In English, you usually need are waiting and are talking for an action in progress. In Serbian, the simple present can cover that meaning.
Why is there no word for we in the sentence?
Because the verb ending already shows the subject.
- čekamo ends in -mo, which tells you the subject is we
- razgovaramo also ends in -mo, again meaning we
So Serbian often drops subject pronouns like mi () unless they are needed for emphasis or contrast.
