Questions & Answers about Vozilo može brzo da ubrza.
Why is the subject vozilo and not something like automobil?
Vozilo means vehicle, so it is a broader word than automobil (car). It can refer to a car, truck, bus, or any vehicle in general.
Grammatically, vozilo is:
- neuter
- singular
- here in the nominative case, because it is the subject of the sentence
So the sentence is talking about a vehicle in a general sense, not necessarily a car.
What form is može?
Može is the 3rd person singular present tense of the verb moći (to be able, can).
That matches the subject vozilo, which is singular:
- ja mogu = I can
- ti možeš = you can
- on/ona/ono može = he/she/it can
Since vozilo is grammatically it, može is the correct form.
Why is there da after može?
In Serbian, it is very common to use da + present tense after modal verbs like moći.
So:
- može da ubrza
literally looks like:
- can that it-accelerates
