From Proto-Slavic *byti, from Proto-Balto-Slavic *bū́ˀtei, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰuH-.
PronunciationEdit
VerbEdit
bȉti impf or pf (Cyrillic spelling би̏ти)
- (intransitive) to be, to exist
- Biti ili ne biti? ― To be or not to be?
- (transitive, copulative) Used to connect a noun to an adjective or passive past participle that describes it (equivalent to all English senses and functions as a copula; subject having the state, quality, identity, nature, role, etc., specified.)
- 1989, Đorđe Balašević (lyrics and music), “Devojka Sa Čardaš Nogama”, in Tri posleratna druga[1], Novi Sad: Jugoton, performed by Đorđe Balašević:
- Rekoh joj "Beži, mani se,
i traži bolje partije!
Premala je moja tambura
da te od kiše sakrije".- I told her “Move on, let go of me,
and look for a better catch
My guitar is too small
To hide you from the rain”.
- I told her “Move on, let go of me,
- Vrijeme je lijepo, a ja sam sretan! ― The weather is nice and I am happy!
- (transitive, auxiliary, regional) Used as an auxiliary verb in the present to form near future tense; similar to English going to.
- Nisam siguran, budemo vid(j)eli. ― I'm not sure, we'll see.
- (transitive, auxiliary) Used as an auxiliary verb to form compound verb tenses (perfect, pluperfect, future perfect, conditional) together with the active past participle.
- Kad si zadnji put bio tamo? ― When were you there the last time?
- Trčao sam. ― I ran. / I have run.
- Trčao bih. ― I would run.
- Bio bih trčao maraton da sam tada imao tenisice za trčanje. ― I would have run the marathon if I had had running shoes at the time.
- (transitive, auxiliary) Used to form the passive voice together with the passive past participle of the main verb.
- Ulovio sam loptu. Lopta je bila ulovljena. ― I caught the ball. The ball was caught. / The ball has been caught.
- (intransitive, interrogatively) Used to form a question, usually a polar one.
- Jesi li tu? ― Are you there?
- (intransitive, copulative, impersonal) Used to indicate a general condition, such as weather, worth or value.
- Pet jabuka jest dva eura. ― Five apples are two euro.
- Rekli su da će danas biti sunčano. ― They said that it's going to be sunny today.
- (transitive, copulative, mathematics) to equal, to total, to add up to (indicates the equivalence of values)
- Pet plus pet je deset. ― Five plus five is ten.
- (intransitive, impersonal, in the future tense) Used to express a premonition; there will be, there is going to be, to be coming
- Bit će / Biće rata. ― A war is coming.
Usage notesEdit
- 1st-person singular budem is perfective while 1st-person singular jesam is imperfective. jesam, jesi, jest(e), jesmo, jeste and jesu theoretically constitute a verb whose infinitive was lost before Proto-Slavic and all fell under the umbrella of the infinitive biti during Proto-Slavic. biti is thus simultaneously both imperfective and perfective and has therefore both a present (budući) and a past (bivši) verbal adverb.
