No. 837 in Serbian
надам
The Serbian word "надам" means "I hope" in English.
In a sentence
Надам се да ћеш успети.
I hope you will succeed.
The word 'надам', forms part of the reflexive verb 'надати се', here expressing hope or anticipation.
Ја се надам најбољем у овој ситуацији.
I hope for the best in this situation.
Here, 'надам' is utilized again within 'надати се' but followed by a direct object to specify what is being hoped for.
Више се не надам променама.
I no longer hope for changes.
In this case, 'надам', within 'надати се', is negated to express the cessation of hope.
