Questions & Answers about Iseći ću paprike.

What does ću mean here?

Ću is the future auxiliary, meaning will in this sentence. It is the 1st person singular form of hteti used to build the future tense.

So:

• Iseći = to cut up / to cut
• ću = I will

Together, Iseći ću means I will cut.

Why is the sentence Iseći ću paprike, not Ću iseći paprike?

Because ću is a clitic in Serbian. Clitics normally do not stand at the very beginning of a sentence. They usually come in the second position.

So these are natural:

• Iseći ću paprike.
• Ja ću iseći paprike.

But Ću iseći paprike is not standard.

The version with the infinitive first, Iseći ću paprike, is completely normal.

Can I also say Ja ću iseći paprike?

Yes. Ja ću iseći paprike is also correct.

The difference is mostly about emphasis:

• Iseći ću paprike. = neutral, natural
• Ja ću iseći paprike. = I will cut the peppers (maybe contrasting with someone else)

Serbian often leaves out subject pronouns when they are not needed, because the verb form already shows the person.
