Questions & Answers about Pozovite kurira u slučaju da je adresa za dostavu pogrešna.
What does pozovite mean grammatically?
Pozovite is the imperative form of pozvati (to call).
It can be used:
- to more than one person: Call...
- to one person formally/politely: Call...
So in instructions, notices, and app messages, pozovite often sounds like a polite command: Call the courier.
Also, pozvati is perfective, so pozovite suggests a single completed action: make the call.
Why is it pozovite, not zovite?
Because pozvati and zvati are an aspect pair:
- pozvati = perfective = to call once / to place a call
- zvati = imperfective = to call repeatedly / to be calling / to call in general
In this sentence, the instruction is about one specific action, so pozovite is the natural choice.
- Pozovite kurira = Call the courier
- Zovite kurira could sound more like keep calling the courier or call the courier regularly, depending on context
Why is it kurira and not kurir?
