Questions & Answers about Odvešću prijatelja kući.
Odvešću means I will take or I’ll bring/take someone to a place, depending on context.
It is a future-tense form of odvesti. Serbian often combines the future auxiliary ću with the verb, so instead of saying ja ću odvesti, you can get the compact form odvešću.
So:
- odvesti = to take someone somewhere
- ću = I will
- odvešću = I will take
This is a very normal Serbian form.
Because Serbian often leaves out subject pronouns when the verb already makes the subject clear.
In odvešću, the ending already tells you it means I will, so ja is unnecessary unless you want emphasis.
- Odvešću prijatelja kući. = neutral, natural
- Ja ću odvesti prijatelja kući. = also correct, with a little more emphasis on I
This is similar to Spanish or Italian, where the verb can already show who is doing the action.
Because prijatelja is in the accusative case, which is used for the direct object of the verb.
Here, the friend is the person being taken home, so he is the direct object.
