  • Perfective and Imperfective verbs in Serbo-Croatian

    These two verb forms are one of the hardest grammar topics for foreign students. But everything can be improved with practice.

    Do the following exercises. You don’t have to do both Croatian and Serbian versions to submit the quiz, but only one is enough.

    Quick Reminder:

    • perfective form is used for completed, finished action
    • imperfective form we use for not completed, not finished, repeated or long-lasting action

    ZADATAK

    Complete the text with the correct form of the verb. Consider using perfective or imperfective form, depending on the context.

    Example:

    doฤ‡i (svrลกeni/perfective) – dolaziti (nesvrลกeni/imperfective)

    Juฤer smo ______ u restoran kasno. Kad je konobar vidio da ________ , odmah je krenuo donositi tanjure.

    ODGOVOR: Juฤer smo doลกli u restoran kasno. Kad je konobar vidio da dolazimo, odmah je krenuo donositi tanjure.

    vratiti se (svrลกeni/perfective) – vraฤ‡ati se (nesvrลกeni/imperfective)

    MARKO: Juฤer sam se s posla oko 9 naveฤer. Kad sam se , na cestama je bila velika guลพva.ย 

    ANA: Baลก ฤudno. Ja se obiฤno isto oko 9, ali nikad nema guลพve.

    doฤ‡i (svrลกeni/perfective) – dolaziti (nesvrลกen/imperfective)

    DINO: ฤŒao draga, ja upravo kuฤ‡i.
    MARIJA: Dobro, ajde poลพuri, gosti su veฤ‡ .
    DINO: Ma kako veฤ‡? Svaki put (oni) u 8!
    MARIJA: A eto, danas su zavrลกili ranije s poslom pa su ranije i kod nas.ย 
    DINO: Kako danas…
    MARIJA: Ajde ne priฤaj viลกe nego poลพuri! I kad doma, uzmi odmah bocu vina u podrumu pa nam donesi gore. Ajde ฤao!

    vidjeti (svrลกeni/imperfective) – viฤ‘ati (nesvrลกeni/imperfective)

    VEDRANA: Znaลก, neki dan sam Marka u gradu.
    HANA: Ma daj, opet?ย 
    VEDRANA: Kako misliลก – opet?
    HANA: Pa (ti) (prezent) ga ฤesto, ฤini mi se. Svako malo mi kaลพeลก da si ga .
    VEDRANA: Ma nije ฤesto. Zadnji put kad sam ga bilo je…uuh ne pamtim.
    HANA: Hmm, a dobro. Iduฤ‡i put kad ga , pozdravi ga od mene.
    VEDRANA: Ohoo, ja da se zanimaลก za Marka.
