§ Understanding 'iti'

The Slovenian verb iti means 'to go'. It's a fundamental verb you'll use often. Like many verbs, its form changes depending on who is doing the going. This is called conjugation. We'll focus on the present tense for now, as it's the most common for beginners.

Conjugation (Present Tense)
  • Jaz grem (I go)
  • Ti greš (You go - singular, informal)
  • On/Ona/Ono gre (He/She/It goes)
  • Midva/Medve greva (We two go - masculine/feminine)
  • Vidva/Vedve greta (You two go - masculine/feminine)
  • Onadva/Onidve greta (They two go - masculine/feminine)
  • Mi/Me gremo (We go - masculine/feminine)
  • Vi/Ve greste (You go - plural, or formal singular)
  • Oni/One gredo (They go - masculine/feminine)

§ Basic sentence structure with 'iti'

When you want to say you are going somewhere, you typically use a preposition followed by the noun in the correct case. For 'to go to', you will most often use 'v' (into/to) or 'na' (on/to).

Using 'v' (to/into)
Use 'v' when you are going into an enclosed space or a country. The noun following 'v' will be in the accusative case (4th case).

Jaz grem v trgovino. (I go to the shop.)

Ti greš v šolo. (You go to school.)

On gre v Ljubljano. (He goes to Ljubljana.)

Using 'na' (to/on)
Use 'na' when you are going to a surface, an event, or certain specific locations like the post office or market. The noun following 'na' will also be in the accusative case.

Mi gremo na trg. (We go to the market.)

Vi greste na pošto. (You go to the post office.)

One gredo na kavo. (They go for coffee.)

§ Asking 'Where are you going?'

To ask 'Where are you going?', you use the word Kam (where to). The answer will then use 'v' or 'na' as discussed above.

Kam greš? (Where are you going?)
Grem v kino. (I am going to the cinema.)

Kam gredo? (Where are they going?)
Gredo na izlet. (They are going on a trip.)

Keep practicing these conjugations and prepositions. The more you use them, the more natural they will become. Good luck!

The Slovenian verb 'iti' is one of the most fundamental verbs you'll learn. It simply means 'to go'. Like in English, you'll use it all the time to talk about movement, travel, and even how things are progressing. It's an A1 CEFR word, so mastering it early is key for basic communication.

Slovenian verbs change their endings based on who is doing the action (the subject) and when the action happens (the tense). 'Iti' is no different. We'll focus on the present tense for now, as that's what you'll encounter most often when you're just starting out.

Ali človeštvo res vedno gre naprej, ali pa včasih tudi gre nazaj? Videli smo, kako so nekatere civilizacije šle skozi obdobja velikega napredka, nato pa so šle v propad.

Knjiga "Potovanje v neznano" govori o skupini raziskovalcev, ki so se odločili iti v globine Amazonskega pragozda, kjer ni šel še nihče pred njimi. Njihov cilj je bil odkriti neznane vrste rastlin in živali. Pot je bila izjemno zahtevna; morali so iti skozi goste liane in prečkati nevarne reke. Nekateri so bili prepričani, da ne bodo šli daleč, vendar je njihova odločnost prevladala. Po mesecih napornega dela so končno šli do skrite doline, polne čudes. Njihovo odkritje je šlo v zgodovino kot eno najpomembnejših v 20. stoletju.

Kakšen je splošni zaključek o smeri sodobne umetnosti?

Read this passage:

V sodobni umetnosti je pogosto vprašanje, kam gre umetnost. Ali gre v smeri popolne abstrakcije, ali pa se vrača k figuraliki? Kritiki se strinjajo, da umetnost ne gre v eno samo smer, ampak gredo različni tokovi vzporedno. Nekateri umetniki gredo po poti eksperimentiranja z novimi materiali, drugi gredo po poti reinterpretacije klasičnih tem. Pomembno je razumeti, da umetnost vedno gre naprej in se razvija, tudi če se včasih zdi, da gre po krogu. Kljub temu, kam gre, je njena moč v izražanju človeške izkušnje.
