Questions & Answers about Proverićemo markaciju na raskrsnici.
What does Proverićemo consist of, grammatically?
Proverićemo is the 1st person plural future tense of proveriti.
It breaks down as:
- proveriti = to check
- ćemo = we will
So Proverićemo means we will check.
The ending -ćemo tells you the subject is we, so Serbian does not need a separate word for we here.
Why is Proverićemo written as one word?
In standard Serbian, this future form is written as one word when the auxiliary attaches directly to the infinitive stem.
So:
- proveriti
- ćemo → proverićemo

That version is also correct, but there the auxiliary ćemo stands separately because it comes before the infinitive.
What is the base verb, and what aspect is it?
The base verb is proveriti.
It is a perfective verb, which means it refers to a completed single action: checking something and finishing that check.
That is why Proverićemo sounds like:
