Pomerili smo izlet i dogovorili se da se nađemo kasnije.

In Serbian, the auxiliary smo often comes in the second position of the clause. This is a very common word-order rule.

So:

• Pomerili smo izlet = We moved/rescheduled the trip
• not usually Smo pomerili izlet

The first element in the clause can be a single word or a whole phrase, and the auxiliary tends to come right after that first element.

For example:

• Juče smo pomerili izlet. = Yesterday we moved the trip.
• Izlet smo pomerili juče. = The trip, we moved yesterday.

So Pomerili smo is the normal and natural order here.

Pomerili is the past participle form used with the auxiliary smo to make the past tense.

Together:

• pomerili smo = we moved

The verb is pomeriti (perfective), meaning to move, to shift, or in this context to reschedule.

Because the subject is we, the participle is plural masculine/mixed:

• pomerio sam = I moved (male speaker)
• pomerila sam = I moved (female speaker)
• pomerili smo = we moved

In mixed groups or when gender is not specified, Serbian normally uses the masculine plural form.

Here izlet is the direct object of pomerili smo, so it is in the accusative case.

The noun izlet is masculine singular, and for many masculine inanimate nouns, the accusative looks the same as the nominative.

So:

• nominative: izlet
• accusative: izlet

That is why the form does not change here.

In this sentence, it normally means we rescheduled/postponed the outing or trip.

The verb pomeriti literally means to move or to shift, but it is often used in time/schedule contexts too:

• Pomerili smo sastanak. = We moved/rescheduled the meeting.
• Pomerili smo izlet. = We moved/rescheduled the trip/outing.

So the exact English translation depends on context, but rescheduled is often the most natural interpretation.

Because the verb is dogovoriti se, not just dogovoriti.

This verb means to agree, to come to an agreement, or to arrange something together.

The se is part of the verb. Many Serbian verbs are used with se, and you usually need to learn them as a whole unit:

• dogovoriti se = to agree / arrange
• nadati se = to hope
• sećati se = to remember

So dogovorili se means we agreed or we arranged.

They are related, but not the same.

• dogovoriti se = to come to an agreement, to agree with each other
• dogovoriti without se usually means to arrange or to settle something

Compare:

• Dogovorili smo se da dođemo kasnije. = We agreed to come later.
• Dogovorili smo sastanak za pet. = We arranged the meeting for five.

So in your sentence, dogovorili se shows that the people reached an agreement together.

Serbian very often uses da + present tense where English uses an infinitive.

So instead of something like agreed to meet later, Serbian says:

• dogovorili se da se nađemo kasnije

Literally, this is closer to:

• we agreed that we meet later

But in natural English it becomes:

• we agreed to meet later

This da + present structure is extremely common in Serbian and is one of the most important patterns to learn.

That is normal in Serbian. After da, Serbian uses a present-tense form, even when English would use an infinitive or refer to a future action.

So:

• da se nađemo literally uses a present form
• but the meaning is for us to meet / that we meet
• in context, it refers to a later action

The form nađemo is 1st person plural present of naći se.

So:

• dogovorili se da se nađemo kasnije = we agreed to meet later

Even though the form looks present, the time reference comes from the whole sentence and the context.

Because the verb here is naći se, which means to meet in the sense of find each other / get together.

So the sentence contains two different se forms, each belonging to a different verb:

• dogovorili se ← from dogovoriti se
• da se nađemo ← from naći se

This is completely normal in Serbian.

Compare:

• Dogovorili smo se da se vidimo. = We agreed to see each other.
• Dogovorili smo se da se nađemo u šest. = We agreed to meet at six.

So the repeated se is not a mistake; it is required by both verbs.

Actually, both pieces are there: se nađemo. Serbian clitic pronouns like se often come before the verb form, not after it.

So:

• da se nađemo
• not usually da nađemo se

This is part of Serbian clitic placement. Short unstressed words like se, sam, smo, je, etc. tend to appear in specific positions in the sentence, usually near the beginning of the clause.

Literally, naći means to find, and naći se can literally mean to find oneself. But very often naći se is used idiomatically to mean:

• to meet
• to get together
• to find each other at an agreed place/time

So in this sentence:

• da se nađemo kasnije = to meet later

A very common pattern is:

• Naći ćemo se u centru. = We’ll meet in the center.
• Hajde da se nađemo sutra. = Let’s meet tomorrow.

Kasnije means later.

That is the right word here because the idea is that the meeting will happen at a later time than originally planned.

Compare:

• kasnije = later
• kasno = late

So:

• nađemo se kasnije = meet later
• nađemo se kasno = meet late

Those are similar, but not identical. In your sentence, later is the natural meaning.

Yes, the main verbs here are perfective, and that fits the meaning very well.

• pomeriti = perfective
• dogovoriti se = perfective
• naći se can also be used as a completed event here

Perfective verbs present actions as completed wholes:

• pomerili smo = we completed the act of moving/rescheduling
• dogovorili se = we reached an agreement

That is why the sentence sounds like a completed sequence:

1. we rescheduled the outing
2. we agreed to meet later

If you used imperfective verbs, the focus would be more on process, repetition, or ongoing action, which would change the nuance.

The subject is already built into smo and the verb forms, so Serbian often does not need to say mi (we).

• smo = we are/have as an auxiliary in the past tense
• pomerili smo = we moved
• dogovorili se continues with the same subject

Serbian often leaves out subject pronouns when they are clear from the verb form.

So:

• Pomerili smo izlet... = We moved the trip...
• Mi smo pomerili izlet... is possible, but more emphatic

Using mi would sound like we in particular, maybe contrasting with someone else.

Yes, absolutely. That is a very natural translation.

Depending on context, pomerili smo izlet could be translated as:

• we moved the trip
• we rescheduled the trip
• we postponed the trip

If the new time is later than the old one, postponed is especially natural.

So a very idiomatic English version is:

• We postponed the trip and agreed to meet later.

That captures both the grammar and the meaning well.
