Sentence structure

QuestionAnswer
Ana is reading
Ana čita
The simplest sentences are like "Ana is sleeping" or "Samir is running", you form them by trimming the -ti from the action word, turning it from the general form into the pure form example : kuhati - kuha (to cook) pjevati - pjeva (to sing)
Samir is cooking
Samir kuha
Ana is running
Ana trči
In some words that end with -ati, the a turns into an i, for example: trčati = trči (to run) ležati = leži (to lie down)
Ivan is lying down
Ivan leži
He is writing text
On piše tekst
There are other 'irregular' forms but you'll get used to them, they all almost always end with -e plakati - plače (to cry) pisati - piše (to write) piti - pije (to drink)
She is crying
Ona plače
Btw you use the pure form for pronouns also, not just names, like uh on/ona/ono instead of Samir, Ana, dijete... same as English
I'm cooking
Kuham
In order to get action words for the pronoun I, you just add -m to the pure form Čitam - Im reading Kuham - Im cooking Učim - Im learning
I'm reading
Čitam
I'm eating
Jedem
This works the same even if the words are irregular Jedem - im eating Pišem - im writing
I'm drinking
Pijem
