ophoditi se

1. (ophoditi se prema + dat.) to treat; to behave toward
   Prema deci se uvek ophodi s puno strpljenja. — He always treats children with a lot of patience.
   Ne sviđa mi se kako se ophodiš prema konobarima. — I don't like the way you treat waiters.
2. dated (without se) to go around; to patrol
   Stražari cele noći ophode kasarnu. — The guards patrol the barracks all night.

Mostly used with se: ophoditi se prema kome "to treat someone" — of behaviour toward people and animals. For handling objects (a tool, a weapon) the word is rukovati (čime). Without se, in the sense "go around, patrol", the verb is dated; today one says obilaziti, patrolirati.
