The Prepositions od-do (from–to)
The meaning of these prepositions is: od = from; do = to, until (beside/next to). They are used to indicate:
⏰ Time duration
- Radim od 8:00 do 17:00 svaki dan. (I work from 8am to 5pm.)
- Radim od jutra do sutra. (I work day and night.)
📍 Geographical distance
- Putujem od Splita do Zagreba. (I travel from Split to Zagreb.)
These two prepositions always go with the Genitive case.
| Nominative sing. | Genitive sing. | Genitive pl. |
|---|---|---|
| grad | grad-a | grad-ov-ā |
| država | držav-e | držav-ā |
| selo | sel-a | sel-ā |
Both prepositions can also be used independently:
- Ovo je poklon od mene. (This is a gift from me.)
- Gdje si? –Vozim. Idem do ljekarne. (Where are you? –I’m driving. I’m going to the pharmacy.)

The Imperative of “biti”
The imperative form of the verb biti (to be) is formed in the following way. At this point, take the form as it is.
| Verb to be: | singular | plural |
|---|---|---|
| 1st person | / | budimo |
| 2nd person | budi | budite |
| 3rd person | neka bude | neka budu |
The meaning of the biti imperative indicates your command to someone to be [something – such as ready, good, etc.]. For example, children hear this command while growing up. They very often hear parents say: Budi dobar! / Budi dobra! It simply means, be good (behave well).
