Spremeniti

Spremeniti is a Slovenian verb meaning to change, alter, or modify. It is a perfective, transitive verb used to express that something has undergone a change or has been made different. It commonly governs a direct object (spremeniti nekaj) and is used when the change is presented as a completed action. The imperfective counterpart is spreminjati, which denotes ongoing or repeated change, while related nouns include sprememba (a change) and spreminjanje (changing).

Conjugation and usage: In present tense, the forms are spremenim, spremeniš, spremeni, spremenimo, spremenite, spremenijo. The past tenses are formed with auxiliary biti and the participle, e.g., sem spremenil/spremenila (I changed). The verb appears in a variety of contexts, from everyday language to politics or science, for example: spremeniti načrt (to revise a plan), spremeniti barvo (to change color), spremeniti odločitev (to alter a decision). It can also indicate conversion or transformation, such as changing one state into another.

Etymology and related forms: Spremeniti is related to the prefix spre- and the verb menjati/menjati in meaning; it functions as the perfective counterpart to spreminjati. The noun form sprememba denotes a change or alteration, while the verb spreminjati denotes the process of changing.
