Snabdevač će proveriti brojilo.

Će proveriti forms the future tense in Serbian, so the sentence is in the future: will check.

A very common way to form the future is:

subject + će + infinitive

So here:

• snabdevač = supplier/provider
• će proveriti = will check
• brojilo = meter

In Serbian, će is a clitic, which means it usually goes in the second position of the sentence or clause.

So the neutral order is:

Snabdevač će proveriti brojilo.

Not usually:

• Će snabdevač proveriti brojilo. ✗

This “second-position” rule is very important in Serbian word order. The first full element is snabdevač, so će comes right after it.

Proveriti is the perfective infinitive, meaning it refers to a completed, single action: to check / to inspect once.

In this sentence, the idea is that the supplier will carry out one checking event, so proveriti fits naturally.

Compare:

• proveriti = to check once, complete the check
• proveravati / proverava = to be checking repeatedly, habitually, or as a process

With future meaning, Serbian often uses a perfective verb when talking about a one-time completed action.

Brojilo is the direct object, so it is in the accusative case.

However, brojilo is a neuter noun, and for many neuter nouns the nominative and accusative singular look the same.

So:

• nominative: brojilo
• accusative: brojilo

That is why you do not see any visible ending change here.

Yes. Snabdevač is a masculine noun, which you can tell partly because it ends in a consonant.

It means supplier or provider, often in contexts like utilities, energy, gas, electricity, and so on.

Depending on context, it can refer to:

• a company,
• a representative of a company,
• or a provider in a general sense.

No. Serbian does not use articles like English the or a/an.

So snabdevač can mean:

• the supplier
• a supplier

And brojilo can mean:

• the meter
• a meter

The exact meaning depends on context.

Yes, Serbian word order is more flexible than English word order, although some orders sound more neutral than others.

The most neutral version here is:

Snabdevač će proveriti brojilo.

But other orders are possible for emphasis, for example:

• Brojilo će proveriti snabdevač.
  = It is the supplier who will check the meter / The meter is what the supplier will check.

• Snabdevač brojilo će proveriti.
  = possible, but less neutral and more marked

Even when the word order changes, će still tends to stay in the second position.

This is a very common pronunciation question.

• č is a harder sound, roughly like English ch in chocolate
• ć is softer, with the tongue placed a bit differently; English does not have an exact equivalent

So:

• snabdevač ends with č
• će begins with ć

Many English speakers hear them as very similar at first, but Serbian treats them as different sounds and different letters.

In Serbian, j is pronounced like English y in yes.

So brojilo sounds approximately like:

bro-yi-lo

Not like English j in job.

That means:

• broj sounds roughly like broy
• brojilo sounds roughly like broyilo

Yes, depending on the exact meaning.

• proveriti = to check, verify
• pregledati = to inspect, examine, look over

If the idea is simply check the meter, proveriti is very natural. If the idea is more like a technical inspection, pregledati may also work.

The best choice depends on context.

You make it negative by using neće:

Snabdevač neće proveriti brojilo.
= The supplier will not check the meter.

So:

• će = will
• neće = will not / won’t

This is one of the most useful future-tense patterns to learn early.
