"Došli" means "came" or "arrived" in English.
In a sentence
Jeste li došli na zabavu sinoć?
Did you come to the party last night?
The word 'došli' is the past participle of 'doći', meaning 'to come'. It is used here to indicate the action of arriving in the past.
Kad smo došli na stanicu, autobus je već bio otišao.
When we arrived at the station, the bus had already left.
Here, 'došli' describes the completion of the act of arriving by the plural 'we' just before realizing the bus's departure.
Da su došli ranije, mogli bismo ih upoznati.
If they had come earlier, we could have met them.
In this example, 'došli' appears in a conditional clause, reflecting a hypothetical past action.
