Questions & Answers about Inače je dostava dobra.
Here inače means something like generally, usually, normally, or as a rule.
So Inače je dostava dobra suggests:
- delivery is good in general
- delivery is good most of the time
- this is the usual situation, even if the current situation may be different
A useful thing to know is that inače can have different meanings depending on context. It can also mean otherwise or even by the way in other sentences. But in this sentence, the general/usually meaning is the natural one.
Because je is a clitic in Serbian.
Clitics are short unstressed words that usually go in the second position in the sentence or clause. In this sentence, Inače comes first, so je goes right after it:
- Inače je dostava dobra.
This may feel unusual to an English speaker, because English word order is much more fixed.
A more literal English-style order would be something like:
- Dostava je inače dobra.
That is also possible in Serbian, but it changes the emphasis a little. The version with Inače je... is very natural because the clitic je wants to come early.
