In Serbian, adjectives change form to match the noun’s:
- gender
- number
- case
Here:
- signal is masculine singular
- so the adjective must also be masculine singular
- that gives potreban
Compare:
- Signal je potreban. = The signal is needed.
- Veza je potrebna. = The connection is needed. (veza is feminine)
