| Personal Pronouns

Just like in English, Croatian has personal pronouns indicating a specific person or a group of people. By now you have already seen several personal pronouns in Croatian:

SINGULAR

PLURAL

ja

I

mi

we

ti

you

vi

you [all]

on

he

oni

they / masculine

ona

she

one

they / feminine

ono

it

ona

they / neuter

At the very beginning, you will mostly work only with pronouns ja, ti, on, ona that you encountered in this lesson. We will work with the rest of the personal pronouns later in the unit.  

1.1 Zadatak 1. Osobne zamjenice

1.1 Zadatak 2. Ja, ti, on, ona…

Look at the following set of pictures. Place the beginning of the sentences next to the appropriate picture. Which pronoun corresponds to the given image?

| The verb BITI (“to be”)

The verb ‘biti’ is the most used verb in Croatian. In the Present Tense it has two forms, a stressed and unstressed form. However, for now we will look only at its unstressed form.

| Unstressed form

SINGULAR

PLURAL

ja sam

(I am)

mi smo

(we are)

ti si

(you are)

vi ste

(you [all] are)

on je

(he is)

oni su

(they are) / m

ona je

(she is)

one su

(they are) / f

ono je

(it is)

ona su

(they are) / n

For short sentences, like saying that you are a student or an instructor, you MUST ALWAYS use a pronoun in front of the verb. You can only say: Ja sam student (studentica)… Ti si student (studentica). You cannot say: Sam student*.
