Questions & Answers about Kupujem dva komada piletine.
In Serbian, subject pronouns are often omitted when they are clear from the verb ending.
Kupujem already means I am buying / I buy, because the ending -em marks 1st person singular.
You can say Ja kupujem dva komada piletine, but ja is usually added only for emphasis, contrast, or clarity.
Kupujem is the present tense, 1st person singular of kupovati / kupujem or more commonly analyzed as the imperfective partner of kupiti.
In everyday meaning, it can translate as either:
- I am buying
- I buy
Serbian present tense often covers both the English simple present and present continuous, depending on context.
The important thing here is that kupujem is an imperfective form, so it focuses on the action as ongoing or general.
Because dva agrees with komada, not with piletine.
The noun being counted is komad (piece), and komad is masculine, so the correct numeral form is dva.
