obradimo

Obradimo is a present-tense form of the Croatian verb obraditi and is used in Croatian, Bosnian, and Serbian. It conveys the sense of “we process” and, in an exhortative or collaborative context, can function like “let us process” or “let’s work on it.” The form appears in both everyday and technical language to describe actions that involve processing, preparing, or modifying something, for example: “Obradimo podatke prije analize” (Let’s process the data before the analysis).

Morphology and usage: The verb obraditi derives from the root rad- meaning “to work,” with the prefix o- and a suffix that marks the first-person plural. It is transitive and takes a direct object, such as podatke (data) or zemlju (land). The form obradimo can serve as a declarative statement “we process” or as an imperative-like invitation “let’s process,” depending on context and punctuation.

Contexts and nuance: The verb covers a range of meanings from data processing and computational tasks to soil cultivation and general preparation or modification. The exact sense is determined by the object and the domain, whether it is science, industry, agriculture, or everyday tasks.

Related forms and notes: Related forms include obradim (I process) and obradite (you all process), as well as obrađivanje (processing) and obraditelj (processor). As a common lexical item, obradimo is primarily a grammatical form used in sentences and discourse; it is not, by itself, the name of a single organization or project.
