Impersonal forms of verbs are used to express actions or states without specifying a particular subject. These forms are particularly useful in various contexts, such as expressing general truths, natural phenomena, or actions where the subject is unknown or irrelevant. The primary impersonal forms in Serbian include the infinitive, the passive voice, and certain impersonal constructions.
Infinitive
The infinitive form of a verb in Serbian is the base form, typically ending in -ти (ti) or -ћи (ći). It is used in various constructions, such as:
- As a subject or object: "Пушити је штетно." (Smoking is harmful.)
- After modal verbs: "Морам учити." (I have to study.)
- In commands or instructions: "Не пушити овде." (No smoking here.)
Passive Voice
The passive voice in Serbian is formed using the auxiliary verb "бити" (to be) and the past participle of the main verb. It is used to emphasize the action rather than the doer:
- "Књига је прочитана." (The book is read.)
- "Писмо је написано." (The letter is written.)
Impersonal Constructions
Certain verbs and expressions in Serbian are inherently impersonal, often used to describe weather, time, or general conditions. These constructions typically use the third person singular form of the verb:
- Weather: "Пада киша." (It is raining.)
- Time: "Време је за ручак." (It is time for lunch.)
- General conditions: "Треба радити." (It is necessary to work.)
Reflexive Verbs
Some reflexive verbs in Serbian can also be used impersonally, often to indicate that an action is performed in general or habitually:
- "Спава се." (One sleeps / People sleep.)
- "Једе се." (One eats / People eat.)
Modal Expressions
Impersonal modal expressions often use the verb "морати" (must) or "требати" (need) in an impersonal form:
- "Мора се учити." (One must study.)
- "Треба се одморити." (One needs to rest.)
