Questions & Answers about Predati prtljag nije identifikovan.

What is the basic structure of Predati prtljag nije identifikovan?

It breaks down like this:

• predati prtljag = the subject, literally handed-over / checked-in baggage
• nije identifikovan = the predicate, is not / has not been identified

So grammatically, the sentence is built around a singular masculine subject and a matching passive-style predicate.

Is predati here the infinitive to hand over, or something else?

Here, predati is not an infinitive. It is being used as an adjective-like participle meaning handed over, submitted, or in context often checked in.

This can be confusing because predati is also the dictionary form of the verb predati (to hand over / submit). In this sentence, though, you can tell it is not an infinitive because it stands directly before the noun prtljag and describes it.

So here:

• predati = checked-in / handed-over
• not to hand over

Why is it predati if prtljag is singular? Shouldn’t -i be plural?
