two actions at once
· deležja-č = while, -vši = having done
An adverbial participle condenses a 'while/after' clause. Present (-č, 'while ~ing'): beroč knjigo, je zaspal (reading a book, he fell asleep). Past (-vši, 'having ~ed' — literary): naredivši nalogo, je šel ven (having done the task, he went out). They belong to written/formal Slovene, not everyday speech.
