dovedite

Dovedite is a verb form used in Bosnian, Croatian, and Serbian to issue a command meaning “bring (them) here” or “bring to this place.” It is the second-person plural imperative of the verb dovesti, which denotes bringing someone or something to a location or guiding someone to a destination. In standard usage, dovedite can also function as a formal singular address in addition to the plural form, depending on regional conventions.

The form is part of a set of imperative mood endings for the verb dovesti. The informal singular imperative is typically dovedi, while dovedite is used for addressing more than one person or a single person in a formal manner. Dovedite is commonly found in everyday speech, instructions, announcements, and written notices where a group is being directed to bring people or items to a specified place.

Usage notes emphasize context and the object: dovedite is followed by the accusative plural or feminine form of the noun, or by pronouns, to indicate what is to be brought. Examples include sentences such as “Dovedite goste ovdje” (Bring the guests here) or “Dovedite djecu na igralište” (Bring the children to the playground). The nuance is practical and directive, often used in hospitality, event planning, or logistical contexts.
