Questions & Answers about Stomatolog će izvaditi zub.
What case is stomatolog in?
It is nominative singular, because it is the subject of the sentence: the person who will do the action. The dictionary form is also stomatolog.
What exactly does će do here?
Će marks the future tense. In this sentence, it works like English will.
More specifically, it is the 3rd person singular clitic form of hteti (to want), used to build the Serbian future:
- ja ću
- ti ćeš
- on/ona/ono će
- mi ćemo
- vi ćete
- oni/one/ona će
Why is će placed after stomatolog?
Because će is a clitic: a short, unstressed word that normally goes in second position in the sentence or clause.
So the neutral pattern is:
- Stomatolog će izvaditi zub.
Not:
- Stomatolog izvaditi će zub.
A good rule for learners is: clitics like će usually come right after the first word or phrase.
Why is izvaditi in the infinitive?
