Q

Present tense

Srkati - to sip

A

(Jaz) srkam
I sip / I’m sipping

(Ti) srkaš
You …

(On/Ona/Ono) srka
(he/she/it) …

(Mi) srkamo
We …

(Vi) srkate
you (plural) …

(Oni/One)¹ srkajo
They …

¹: oni - masculine, one -> feminine
One means “they” are all female
oni just means it’s either males or just more than one thing/person

Extra note:
In Slovenian, there each person case
(I, you, he, …)
has its own word ending
because of this you don’t have to say who is doing something, you can just say “is sipping”
because if you say
srkam/srkaš/srka, a person can guess who you’re talking about
Of course there are exceptions and sometimes toy still have to tell who you’re talking about, but it’s not always necessary.
