моћи

See also: мощи

Serbo-Croatian

Etymology

Inherited from Proto-Slavic *moťi.

Alongside хтети, this is one of the only two Serbo-Croatian verbs to have a 1st person singular form ending in -u; "jа могу" (ja mogu) instead of *jа можем (ja možem). This u-form is more common in other Slavic languages, such as Polish , Russian (-u)), derived from Proto-Slavic *. As a consequence, the 3rd person plural and 1st person singular share the same form могу (mogu).
