Questions & Answers about Ako preglednik opet ne bude radio dobro, otvorit ću poveznicu na drugom računalu.

Why is it ne bude radio instead of ne radi or neće raditi?

Because after ako when you are talking about a future condition, Croatian very often uses future II in the if clause.

So:

• Ako ... ne bude radio ... = If ... is not working / if ... doesn’t work in the future

This is more standard than using future I after ako. You may hear other patterns in everyday speech, but ako + future II is the textbook structure for future conditions.

How is bude radio formed, and why is it radio?

Bude radio is future II.

It is formed with:

• budem, budeš, bude, budemo, budete, budu
• plus the l-participle of the main verb

Here the main verb is raditi, so the participle is:

• radio for masculine singular
• radila for feminine singular
• radilo for neuter singular

It is radio because the subject is preglednik, which is a masculine singular noun.

So:

• preglednik bude radio
• but aplikacija bude radila

Why is used here, but later?
