Easy Croaan (rev. 47b) / 64 The Door Opens: Fun with se² 376 / 600the past tense, as if it were impersonal, so behavior is actually the same.To summarize, there are two main uses of this construction:1. when something happens "on its own";2. when English uses passive as well (is seen, are expected).Finally, there’s a rather surprising use of DL in such sentences. With many verbs, it’spossible to say that you feel like doing something, or you have a need to dosomething (even against your will!).The following examples will illustrate it – of course, instead of mi² and Ani (DL ofAna) you can use any pronoun or noun standing for a person (or animal) in the DLcase. The verbs are almost always imperfective, because such expressions are aboutactivities and states, and not accomplishments. The following common expressionsstand for unpleasant feelings:Povraća° mi DL se. I feel like throwing up.Vrti° mi DL se. I’m dizzy.Ani DL se povraćalo. Ana felt like throwing up.The second sentence uses the verb vrtjeti/vrtiti spin. (Bear in mind that thesentences are again impersonal, as the past tense reminds you.) The followingexpressions are more pleasant:Pije° mi DL se. I feel like drinking.piti | 1Puši° mi DL se. I need to smoke.1Ne pleše° mi DL se. I don’t feel like dancing.plesati | 1Ani DL se spava°. Ana is sleepy.Ne ide° mi DL se na posao A . I don’t feel like going to work.1 | ićiIf you express what you feel like drinking/eating, it becomes the subject, so the verbmust be adjusted accordingly:Pije mi DL se čaj N . I feel like drinking tea.Jedu mi DL se kolači N . I feel like eating cakes.Compare the previous sentences in the past tense:Pilo mi DL se. I felt like drinking.Ani DL se spavalo. Ana was sleepy.Nije mi DL se išlo na posao A . I didn’t feel like going to work.Pio mi DL se čaj N . I felt like drinking tea.Jeli su mi DL se kolači N . I felt like eating cakes.This is yet another use of the DL case to express feelings.So, you finally know how to sell your house and to express that you don’t feel likedancing!What about exceptions to use of se²? There are couple of common verbs that11piti | 1jesti | 111 | ići past-n11
Easy Croaan (rev. 47b) / 64 The Door Opens: Fun with se² 377 / 600sometimes behave as English open. A common verb with this property is svirati play(music) (the English verb play is used in the same way):Svirala je neka dosadna pjesma N . A boring song was playing.Another verb is pisati (piše) write. For instance, if you would like to say thatsomething "is written" in a book, you should not use the se²:Ovdje piše da… It’s written here that…U knjizi DL piše istina N . The truth is written in the book.The English verb write has to be used as passive, it’s unlike open. Note that istinatruth is the subject of the second sentence, while the first one has a content clauseas its subject. Therefore, the first is in neuter in past, and the second one isfeminine:Ovdje je pisalo da... It was written here that…U knjizi DL je pisala istina N . The truth was written in the book.Yet another very common verb with this property is trebati need/should; it’s usedwithout se² with infinitives and content sentences (and impersonal meaning):Trebalo je reći da... It should have been said that...If you want to express how something is customary done, you have to use se² withthese verbs too:Njegovo ime N se ne piše tako. His name is not written like that.• ExamplesThis pop song, Tvoje lice se promijenilo Your face has changed, performed byYammat, contains a mediopassive in its title and refrain:Ljubav N je nestala za dan A Love has disappeared in a dayVidjela samI sawJa N znam I knowTvoje lice NYour facese promijenilo has changedpisatipisatipisatiI čitav svijet N za koji A znam And the whole world I know aboutKao san NLike a dreamJe nestao Has disappearedTvoje lice NYour faceme A promijenilo has changed me1(I. Babić & N. Borgudan)You can listen to it on YouTube.One verse has mediopassive se², meaning that the face has changed, while anotherf
