From Lesson 81:Reciprocal verbs (se)·Croatian

Questions & Answers about Čut ćemo se sutra!

Why use the reflexive pronoun se here? Are we hearing ourselves?
No, in this case, se shows a reciprocal action, meaning each other or one another. Instead of doing the action to ourselves, two or more people are doing it to each other. So, čut ćemo se literally means we will hear each other.
Why is the verb spelled čut instead of its full infinitive form čuti?
When forming the future tense, if an infinitive ending in -ti comes directly before the helper verb like ćemo, it drops the final i. If you included the pronoun mi at the start, the word order would change and the i would come back: Mi ćemo se čuti sutra!
Is čuti se a common way to say we will talk in Croatian?
Yes! It is the standard, natural way to say we will be in touch or we will talk. Croatians use čuti se when referring to catching up, talking on the phone, or even texting.
Both ćemo and se are small, unstressed words. Why is ćemo placed before se?
These unstressed words are called enclitics, and Croatian has a strict order for them. When multiple enclitics group together in a sentence, verb helpers like ćemo always step in line before the reflexive pronoun se.
