Questions & Answers about Pošiljka je napolju pored vrata.
What does pošiljka mean here?
Pošiljka usually means shipment, delivery, parcel, or package, depending on context.
In everyday speech, if someone is talking about something that has arrived or is being delivered, English will often use package or parcel.
So in this sentence, pošiljka is most naturally understood as the package / the delivery.
It is a feminine noun, which is why it matches je as a singular subject.
Why is je used in this sentence?
Je is the 3rd person singular present form of biti (to be), so it means is.
So:
- Pošiljka = the package / shipment
- je = is
- napolju = outside
- pored vrata = by the door / next to the door
Together: The package is outside by the door.
Why is there no word for it in the sentence?
In Serbian, subject pronouns are often left out when they are not needed.
English says:
- It is outside.
But Serbian usually just says:
- Napolju je. or Pošiljka je napolju.
