Questions & Answers about Sutra ću pogledati svoje stare fotografije.
Why is ću used here, and what does it mean?
Ću is the future-tense auxiliary verb, a short form of htjeti (to want), used to form Future I in Croatian.
Pattern:
- ću + infinitive → I will + verb
So:
- Sutra ću pogledati... = Tomorrow I will look (at)...
Other persons:
- ja ću – I will
- ti ćeš – you (sg.) will
- on/ona/ono će – he/she/it will
- mi ćemo – we will
- vi ćete – you (pl.) will
- oni će – they will
In sentences, these short forms (ću, ćeš, će...) usually stand in the second position in the clause (they are clitics), which is why you see Sutra ću pogledati, not Sutra ja ću pogledati (though the latter is possible with some emphasis).
Why is there no word for “I” (like ja) in the sentence?
