Questions & Answers about Bit će sigurno odlično na zabavi.
Why is it Bit će instead of Biti će?
In Croatian, when a verb in the future tense starts the sentence, the infinitive comes right before the helper word (ću, ćeš, će, etc.). When this happens, verbs ending in -ti (like biti) drop their final -i. So, biti + će becomes bit će.
Where is the word for 'it' in this sentence?
Croatian often drops pronouns like 'it', 'he', or 'she' because the verb already tells you the subject. Here, će is the 'he/she/it' form of the future tense helper verb. Since there is no specific subject, it translates to an impersonal 'it will be'.
Why does odlično end in -o?
When making general statements about how things are or will be (like 'it is cold' or 'it will be great'), Croatian uses the neuter form of the adjective. For odličan (excellent/great), the neuter form is odlično.
Why does zabavi end in an -i here?
