Questions & Answers about Poneću užinu.

What verb is poneću from, and what does it mean grammatically?

Poneću comes from the verb poneti.

Grammatically, it is:

• 1st person singular
• future tense
• from a perfective verb

So poneću means I will take / I will bring along.

The perfective verb poneti usually refers to a single completed action of taking something with you.

Why is the future tense written as one word in poneću?

In Serbian, the future can be formed with the clitic forms of hteti:

• ću, ćeš, će, ćemo, ćete, će

With infinitive verbs ending in -ti, Serbian often drops -ti and attaches the future clitic directly:

• poneti + ću → poneću

So Poneću užinu is a normal standard form.

You can also say:

• Ja ću poneti užinu.

Both mean the same thing. The difference is mostly word order and emphasis.

Why is there no word for I in the sentence?
