Questions & Answers about Ovi roboti bit će napredni.
Why is it bit će instead of biti će?
When forming the future tense in Croatian, if a verb ending in -ti (like biti) comes directly before the future helper word (like će), the final -i is dropped. Therefore, biti će becomes bit će.
Could I change the word order and say Ovi roboti će biti napredni?
Yes, you definitely can! The helper word će is a weak word (an enclitic) that naturally wants to sit in the second position of a sentence. Because Ovi roboti counts as the first grammatical unit, će can go right after it, giving you Ovi roboti će biti napredni.
Why does the adjective napredni end in -i here?
Adjectives always have to match the noun they describe. Because roboti is a masculine plural noun, the adjective needs the masculine plural ending, which is -i.
Why is the word for 'these' ovi and not ove or ova?
The word for 'this/these' changes to match the noun it points to. Ovi is the masculine plural form, matching the masculine plural noun roboti. If you were talking about feminine things, you would use ove, and for neuter things you would use ova.
