verbs as nouns

· glagolnik
the -ing noun: brati → branje
From most imperfective verbs you build a verbal noun ending in -nje, naming the activity itself — the equivalent of English '-ing' used as a noun. brati → branje (reading), kaditi → kajenje (smoking), plavati → plavanje (swimming), učiti se → učenje (learning). They are neuter and decline like okno: uživam v branju (I enjoy reading). A few common ones are irregular and just have to be learned: hoditi → hoja (walking), peti → petje (singing).
