zgradili

zgradili is a Croatian and Slovene word that translates to "they built" or "we built" in English. It is the past tense, plural form of the verb "graditi" (to build). The word is used in various contexts to describe the construction of physical structures, such as houses, bridges, or other buildings. It can also be used metaphorically to describe the creation or development of something abstract, like a plan or a community.

For example, in Croatian, one might say "Oni su zgradili novu školu," meaning "They built a new school." Similarly, in Slovene, "Mi smo zgradili hišo," translates to "We built a house." The specific pronoun "oni" (they) or "mi" (we) is often omitted in everyday speech when the context makes it clear who the subject is. The verb "graditi" and its various conjugations, including "zgradili," are fundamental to describing actions related to construction and creation in these South Slavic languages. The understanding of "zgradili" is essential for comprehending past actions of building or constructing performed by a group.
