spremenim

Spremenim is the first‑person singular present indicative form of the Slovenian verb spremeniti, which means “to change” or “to transform.” The verb is a regular two‑consonant stem verb belonging to the second conjugation group in Slovene. The infinitive spremeniti is derived from the noun sprememba, meaning “change.” In the present tense, the stem spremen- is combined with the personal ending –im, producing spremenim for “I change” or “I will change.” The verb is commonly used in both literal and figurative contexts, such as changing physical objects, altering one’s appearance, or transforming a situation or personal habits.

Spremeniti is a transitive verb that typically requires a direct object. For example, “Spremenim svoje obleke” translates to “I am changing my clothes.” In impersonal constructions, the verb can appear without a direct object, as in “Spremenim stanje” meaning “I am changing the situation.” The negative form is created with ne before the verb, yielding ne spremenim “I do not change.” In Slovene, the future tense can also be expressed with the auxiliary verb imeti, e.g., “Imam načrt, ko spremenim naš sistem” (“I have a plan for when I change our system”).

The word spremenim sometimes appears in idiomatic expressions. For instance, the phrase “spremenim ti" (I will change you) is often used informally to imply persuasion or influence. While spremenim itself is not typically the subject of a standalone encyclopedia entry, it serves as a useful example of Slovenian verb conjugation and lexical semantics. Its root can be traced back to the Proto‑Slavic *spreměnǫti, meaning “to make new, to alter.”
