Questions & Answers about Ispunit ću obrazac sutra u uredu.
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.
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.
Yes. Word order is flexible, and different orders change emphasis/focus. All of these are natural:
- Ispunit ću obrazac sutra u uredu. (neutral; starts with the action)
- Sutra ću ispuniti obrazac u uredu. (emphasizes tomorrow)
- U uredu ću sutra ispuniti obrazac. (emphasizes in the office)
A key rule: the clitic ću usually goes in the “second position” of the clause (after the first stressed element), which is why Sutra ću… and U uredu ću… are common.
