Present Tense of to Go
Here comes a short lesson with the verb IĆI = TO GO to in the Simple Present tense. The conjugations are as follows:
- Ja idem - ti ideš - on/ona/ono ide ///// mi idemo - vi idete - oni / one / ona idu
Common Serbian Phrases with this Verb
How can you use the verb IĆI to create the most common phrases:
- Gde ideš? = Where are you going?
- Kada ideš u školu? = When are you going to school?
- Gde ideš u kupovinu/prodavnicu? = Where are you going shopping?
- Zašto ideš na posao tako kasno? = Why are you going to work so late?
- Gde ideš na odmor svake godine? = Where do you go on holiday every year?
- Kad idete na odmor? = When are you going on holiday?
- Ko ide u školu? = Who is going to school?
- Ko ide sa mnom? = Who is going with me?
- Ko ide ka Beogradu? = Who is going to (towards) Belgrade?
- Kada ideš u Beograd sa mamom? = When are you going to Belgrade with me?
As you can see, this is a tricky verb, because it can be followed by nouns in different cases. The most common are:
1. Accusative with the preposition "u / na" = in or to, as in GO TO
examples:
a. Idem na posao.
b. Idemo u školu u 8 ujutro.
c. Idemo na odmor u avgustu.
d. Svake godine idem na odmor u Grčku.
e. Sutra idem u Beograd sa tobom.
f. Idem ( u Beograd) sa mamom u petak.
g. Deca idu u školu.
2. Instrumental with the preposition "sa" =with, as in GO with a friend
examples:
h. Baka ide sa mnom.
i. Idem ( u Beograd) sa mamom u petak.
j. Zato što idem biciklom.
3. Less frequently it will be followed by the Dative, with the preposition "ka / prema" = towards, as in GO TOWARDS.
examples:
k. Mi idemo ka Beogradu. Možete li da nas povedete?

One of the frequent questions is how to translate Serbian "hteti" into English?
Hteti - Will or Want?
The simple truth is that the verb "hteti" can be translated into English in both ways, either will or want to, or even wish. The best way is to learn through some examples.Želeti vs. Hteti
- Hoćeš li mi pomoći? Will you help me? (pure future ) - Hoću! Pomoći ću ti (Yes, I'll help you)
- Hoćeš li prestati već jednom? Will you stop it once and for all? - Neću! (I won't)
- Hoćeš li da mi pomogneš? Do you want to help me? (a bit stronger than "want") - Naravno! Of course! Svakako! Sure!
- Da li hoćeš da idemo u Beograd? Do you want us to go to Belgrade?
- Želiš li da mi pomogneš? Do you wish/want to help me? (a bit more like "wish" than "want") - Kako da ne! Sure!
- Šta želiš da ti kupim u Beogradu? What do you want me to buy you in Belgrade?
Accepting and Declining
The other set of useful phrases which we can learn from is how to best respond to questions starting with "Will you?" or "Do you want to....?"
Prihvatanje/potvrđivanje = Accepting
- Naravno
- Svakako
- Nema problema
- Kako da ne
- Hoću (if the question starts with Hoćeš li...?)
- Želim (if the question starts with Želiš li...?)
- Da
- Jašta (colloquial + archaic, but fun)
Odbijanje = Declining
- Nema šanse (no way)
- Nikako (no way)
- Neću / Ne želim
- Ne, hvala (no, thanks)
