Putujte

Putujte is the second-person plural imperative form of the verb putovati in Croatian, Bosnian, Serbian, and Montenegrin. It translates as “you (plural) travel” and is used as a direct instruction or invitation to travel, directed at a group. The form is common in everyday speech, travel guidance, brochures, and slogans.

The word derives from the root put- meaning “path” or “way,” and is formed from the stem putuj- with the plural imperative ending -te, producing Putujte. The corresponding singular form is Putuj!.

In usage, Putujte typically functions as a plain directive or promotional phrase. It can appear in practical contexts such as travel advisories or signage, or in inviting statements like Putujte oprezno (Travel safely). As an imperative, it has a neutral to direct tone; politeness or formality can be conveyed through additional phrasing, such as pleas or polite constructions when addressing a group.

Across scripts and languages, the form is parallel. In Serbian and Montenegrin written in Cyrillic, the equivalent is Путујте. The Latin-script form Putujte is widely recognized across Croatian, Bosnian, Serbian, and Montenegrin contexts, reflecting shared verb heritage and similar imperative patterns within South Slavic languages.
