Questions & Answers about Ispunit ću obrazac sutra u uredu.
Why is the future written as Ispunit ću? What does ću mean?
Croatian commonly forms the future with the auxiliary ću (from htjeti = to want, grammaticalized into a future marker) plus the infinitive (or a special shortened form of the infinitive).
So Ispunit ću literally corresponds to I will fill out.
Why is it Ispunit ću and not Ispuniti ću?
With ću/ćeš/će…, Croatian often uses a shortened infinitive form (sometimes called the “future stem”) where the final -i is dropped:
- ispuniti → ispunit ću
Both ispunit ću and ispuniti ću may be heard, but ispunit ću is the standard, most natural written form.
Can the word order change? For example: Sutra ću ispuniti obrazac u uredu.
