| The verb MOĆI
The verb moći means having an ability, a possibility, or permission to do something (to be able to). It is a modal verb and is always followed by another verb in its infinitive form. The most frequent translation of the verb also implies the notion you can do something.
For example:
Ja mogu plivati. (I can swim.)
The verb is irregular in its conjugation.

ja | mog-u | mi | mož-emo | ||

on/-a/-o | mož-e | oni/-e/-a | mog-u |
As you can see, the verb has the same form in the 1st person singular (ja) and 3rd person plural (oni/one/ona). Usually the context of your speech will help the interlocutors understand who the conversation is about.
