Usage notes

 * 1st-person singular budem is perfective while 1st-person singular jesam is imperfective. jesam, jesi, jest(e), jesmo, jeste and jesu theoretically constitute a verb whose infinitive was lost before Proto-Slavic and all fell under the umbrella of the infinitive biti during Proto-Slavic. biti is thus simultaneously both imperfective and perfective and has therefore both a present (budući) and a past (bivši) verbal adverb.

Usage notes
This verb is very hard to translate in English as it can form many specific formations that are not present in English and often require complete restructuring of the sentence. Additionally, it also has many irregularities and additional forms regarding conjugation. Both of these are detailed here.

Impersonal be
Impersonal be can form many specific forms that often have to be translated together with the surrounding words, often changing the whole structure of a sentence:

In the first example, also given in the definitions, there is no problem translating the verb as the impersonality can be represented by impersonal. In the second example, the form can be used to convey the meaning. However, in the last two examples, translation is not that simple.

In the third example, word strah means "", me means "" and je is the impersonal form of biti. Therefore, if one would literally translate this sentence, it would sound "Fear me is", which would not be understandable. In this case, the correct translation would be to convert "I" into the subject of the sentence, correctly conjugate the verb "" and find a suitable adjective that would convey the same meaning, in this case "".

In the fourth example, žal means "", mi means "", and je bilo is the preterite impersonal form biti. In this case, the verb has to be changed to the one that conveys the same meaning, and I has to be again converted into the subject.

These forms are not separate verbs as these forms are quite common and most of them are easily translatable. This kind of untranslatable formations only appears in cases where dative or accusative are present and can in some cases also extend to the personal be, e.g., which is easier to understand, but still weird to say.

This problem is similar to that in German, e.g. with the word.

Additional usage notes regarding conjugation
The verb has three additional forms that are not common for other verbs: future forms, negative present indicative forms and conditional forms.

The future forms bear no stress when the verb is used as an auxiliary verb and stressed when it is a full-lexical form of the verb. In common speech, however, it is common to also form the future tense as with any other verb, i.e. unstressed forms followed by l-participle (bom bil). This form is not considered to be correct by SP. In some dialects, future forms also have its special negative form, //.

The conditional form is used only as an auxiliary verb, except in cases with ellipsis (sense 5). Even when one wants to form conditional of biti, l-participle has to be included (bi bil). The verb also has no distinction between present and past conditional; both use only one l-participle. It usually bears no stress, but in negative form, the stress can be transferred from ne (ne bȉ), however the more common form is as usual (nȅ bi).

Present forms are stressed as a full-lexical verb and unstressed as auxiliary verb.

All unstressed forms can also bear stress when they have the stress in the sentence.
