语法模式
容易混淆
This word has two main meanings: 'expensive' and 'dear/beloved'. The context usually clarifies which meaning is intended, but it can be confusing for learners as the English equivalents are quite different.
When referring to cost, it means 'expensive'. When referring to a person or thing, it means 'dear' or 'precious'.
Ta avto je drag. (This car is expensive.) Ona je moja draga prijateljica. (She is my dear friend.)
Can mean 'cold' (adjective) or 'coldly' (adverb).
'Hladno' as an adjective describes something as cold. 'Hladno' as an adverb describes an action done in a cold manner.
Voda je hladna. (The water is cold.) Odgovoril je hladno. (He answered coldly.)
Often confused with 'vedno' (always) or 'redko' (rarely) due to its similar sound structure to some English words that imply frequency.
'Včasih' means 'sometimes'.
Včasih grem v kino. (Sometimes I go to the cinema.)
Can mean 'then' (referring to a sequence of events) or 'afterwards'.
Both meanings are related to time. 'Potem' signals a subsequent event or action.
Najprej jem, potem grem spat. (First I eat, then I go to sleep.) Po večerji smo šli ven, potem pa domov. (After dinner we went out, and then home.)
This word can be tricky because it can be an adjective meaning 'right' or 'true', or it can be a form of the verb 'praviti' (to say).
As an adjective, it means 'right' or 'true'. As a verb, it means 'he/she/it says'.
To je pravi odgovor. (This is the right answer.) On pravi, da je utrujen. (He says he is tired.)
