Questions & Answers about Sutra ću te zvati.
What does each word in the sentence mean?
- Sutra = tomorrow (an adverb)
- ću = I will (1st person singular future auxiliary, a clitic form of the verb htjeti “to want/will”)
- te = you (unstressed accusative clitic, singular informal)
- zvati = to call (infinitive)
Why does ću come right after Sutra?
Because ću (and te) are clitics. In Croatian, clitics normally sit in “second position,” i.e., right after the first stressed word or phrase. Here, the first element is Sutra, so the clitic cluster ću te follows it: Sutra ću te zvati.
Do I need to say the subject pronoun ja?
No. Person is already shown by ću. You can add Ja for emphasis or clarity: Ja ću te sutra nazvati.
Where can I put sutra in the sentence?
It’s flexible. Common options:
- Sutra ću te (na)zvati.
- Ja ću te (na)zvati sutra.
- (Na)zvat ću te sutra. Fronting Sutra emphasizes the time; putting it later is also fine.
