verbs in the present
· sedanjikthe ending carries the person — so you can drop the pronoun
Slovene verbs change their ending to show who is doing the action — so much so that the pronoun is usually dropped (govorim already means 'I speak'). In the present singular the regular endings are: jaz → -m (govorim), ti → -š (govoriš), on / ona → -∅ (govori). Two verbs you'll use constantly are irregular and worth memorising whole: biti (sem · si · je) and imeti (imam · imaš · ima).
