Prigovor je spreman.

Because spreman has to agree with prigovor in gender, number, and case.

• prigovor is a masculine singular noun
• so the adjective also appears in the masculine singular form: spreman

Compare:

• prigovor je spreman — masculine singular
• molba je spremna — feminine singular
• pismo je spremno — neuter singular

This kind of agreement is very important in Serbian.

It is in the nominative singular.

In this sentence, prigovor is the subject, and subjects are normally in the nominative case.

So:

• prigovor = nominative singular
• je spreman = what is being said about the subject

Je is the 3rd person singular present tense form of the verb biti (to be).

So in this sentence:

• prigovor = the subject
• je = is
• spreman = ready / prepared

A useful mini-paradigm is:

• ja sam — I am
• ti si — you are
• on/ona/ono je — he/she/it is
• mi smo — we are
• vi ste — you are
• oni/one/ona su — they are

Because Serbian does not have articles like English the and a/an.

So prigovor can mean:

• the objection
• an objection
• sometimes just objection in a general sense

The exact meaning depends on the context.

That is very normal in Serbian. Learners often want to add an article, but Serbian simply does not use one.

Yes. Prigovor can mean things like:

• objection
• complaint
• remark of protest
• in some contexts, even a more formal appeal or challenge

The exact meaning depends on the situation.

For example:

• in everyday speech, it may sound like complaint
• in legal or administrative contexts, it can mean a formal objection
• in conversation, it can also mean a verbal protest or criticism

So even if the basic meaning is already known, it is useful to remember that prigovor is a fairly broad word.

Not always. Spreman can mean:

• ready
• prepared
• sometimes willing, depending on context

In Prigovor je spreman, the most natural sense is usually ready or prepared.

So the sentence suggests that the objection/complaint has been prepared and is now ready to use, send, submit, or present.

Yes, Serbian word order is more flexible than English word order.

The neutral order here is:

• Prigovor je spreman.

But you could also see:

• Spreman je prigovor.

That version is more marked and may sound stylistically different, with extra focus on spreman or on the fact that it is the objection that is ready.

For learners, the safest default is to keep the neutral order:

• subject + je + adjective

You make it negative by changing je to nije:

• Prigovor nije spreman.

That means the objection is not ready.

This is a very useful pattern:

• On je spreman. → On nije spreman.
• Dokument je gotov. → Dokument nije gotov.

So with biti in the present tense, negation is often built into the verb form itself.

A simple yes/no question is:

• Da li je prigovor spreman?

This is a very common and safe way to form questions in Serbian.

You may also hear:

• Je li prigovor spreman?

That is also common, especially in speech.

Both mean:

• Is the objection ready?

A rough English-friendly pronunciation is:

• PREE-go-vor

And spreman is roughly:

• SPREH-man

A few helpful notes:

• r is rolled or tapped in Serbian
• g is always hard, like in go
• vowels are generally clear and short, not heavily reduced like in English

And the full sentence is approximately:

• PREE-go-vor ye SPREH-man

where je sounds like ye.

Yes, absolutely. It is a perfectly normal complete sentence.

It contains everything needed:

• prigovor — subject
• je — verb
• spreman — predicate adjective

Serbian often uses short, compact sentences like this, especially when simply stating a fact.

Yes, you could, but it is not exactly the same.

• spreman = ready / prepared
• gotov = finished / done

So:

• Prigovor je spreman suggests the objection is ready for use or submission
• Prigovor je gotov emphasizes that the work of preparing it has been completed

In many contexts they may be close, but they are not always fully interchangeable.
