Serbian 201, Exercise 10 — the third and last group, and the one that quietly swallows a lot of very common verbs.
Same idea as the other two groups, new vowel. Once you know raditi gives radim, the rest is fixed:
| ja | radim | mi | radimo |
| ti | radiš | vi | radite |
| on / ona | radi | oni / one | rade |
The "they" form is -e: rade, vide, uče, vole, žive. Compare it with the -am group's gledaju and the -em group's jedu, and you have all three plurals in one glance.
Here's the part that trips people up. Most verbs in this group end in -iti, which is a helpful signpost — but a handful end in -eti and still belong here: videti → vidim, voleti → volim, živeti → živim. That -e- in the infinitive tempts you toward the -em group, and it's wrong. Nothing to do but know them.
