Questions & Answers about Radimo u istoj kancelariji.
What does Radimo mean exactly?
Radimo is the 1st person plural present tense of raditi, which means to work.
So radimo means:
- we work
- we are working
In Serbian, the present tense often covers both the simple present and the present continuous, depending on context.
Examples:
- Radimo svaki dan. = We work every day.
- Radimo sada. = We are working now.
Why is there no word for we in the sentence?

- radim = I work
- radiš = you work
- radi = he/she/it works
- radimo = we work

- rade = they work
So Radimo already means we work, and the pronoun mi is usually unnecessary.
