neutral사용법
The verb piti (to drink) is an imperfective verb. This means it describes an ongoing or repeated action. For a completed action of drinking, you would use the perfective verb popiti.
Examples:
Ja volim piti vodu. (I like to drink water.) - ongoing habit
Oni su pili kafu. (They were drinking coffee.) - ongoing action in the past
A common mistake is using piti when a completed action is implied. For instance, if you want to say 'I drank a glass of water' (a completed action), you should use popiti: 'Ja sam popio čašu vode.' Not 'Ja sam pio čašu vode.' (which would mean 'I was drinking a glass of water').
