      Usage notes

      [edit]
      • In colloquial Serbo-Croatian,bi is commonly used in place of other aorist forms when forming conditional ofbiti in both singular and plural if the subject is deducible from context (usually from the conjugated form of the verb). That is,bi is a shared shorthand forbih,bismo,biste andbiše.
