Pregled
Glagol 'stajati' je jedan od najfrekventnijih glagola u srpskom jeziku. Njegovo primarno značenje je fizički položaj tela suprotan sedenju ili ležanju. 2) Obrasci upotrebe: U prezentu se menja kao: ja stojim, ti stojiš, on/ona/ono stoji, mi stojimo, vi stojite, oni stoje. Često se koristi uz predloge za mesto kao što su 'na', 'u' ili 'pored', koji zahtevaju lokativ. 3) Uobičajeni konteksti: Pored fizičkog stajanja, glagol je ključan u svetu mode i trgovine. Kada kažemo 'To ti lepo stoji', mislimo da vam odeća dobro pristaje. U starijem ili formalnijem jeziku, može značiti i cenu (npr. 'Koliko to stoji?'), mada se danas češće koristi 'koštati'. Takođe se koristi za objekte koji se ne pomeraju, poput automobila na parkingu ili zgrada. 4) Poređenje sa sličnim rečima: Najvažnije je razlikovati 'stajati' (nesvršeni vid - radnja traje) od 'stati' (svršeni vid - trenutak zaustavljanja). Dok 'stajati' opisuje stanje, 'stati' opisuje promenu stanja ili prestanak kretanja.

Nutzungshinweise
The verb is neutral and used in all registers. In spoken Serbian, it is very common to use it for clothes. When used for price, it sounds slightly archaic or very formal; 'koštati' is preferred in modern daily speech.
Häufige Fehler
English speakers often confuse 'stajati' with 'stati'. Remember that 'stajati' is for a continuous state. Another mistake is using the accusative instead of the dative for clothes (e.g., saying 'stoji te' instead of 'stoji ti').
