Podnosilac može da bira dostavu dok god je adresa ista.

Podnosilac means applicant, submitter, or the person filing something, depending on context.

Grammatically, it is a masculine singular noun. In official and legal Serbian, words like this are often used as generic terms, so podnosilac can refer to a man or a woman unless the text specifically chooses a gendered alternative.

It comes from the verb podnositi in the sense of to submit/file.

After modal verbs like moći, Serbian very often uses da + present tense:

• može da bira = can choose

This is one of the most common patterns in modern Serbian. An infinitive can sometimes appear in related South Slavic usage, but in Serbian, da + present is usually the most natural choice in everyday and standard language.

So može da bira is completely normal and standard.

Bira comes from the imperfective verb birati, which suggests an ongoing, general, or repeated possibility.

That fits this sentence well, because it describes a rule or option:

• the applicant may choose
• and can keep doing so as long as the condition remains true

A perfective form like izabere would sound more like make one complete choice. That would shift the focus to a single finished act rather than the general ability or permission.

Because dostavu is in the accusative singular, and it is the direct object of bira.

The base form is:

• dostava = nominative singular

But after a verb like birati when it means choose something, you need the direct object in the accusative:

• birati dostavu

For many feminine nouns ending in -a, the accusative singular ends in -u:

• dostava → dostavu
• adresa → adresu

In this kind of administrative or service-related sentence, dostava usually means delivery, shipment, or more specifically the delivery method/arrangement.

So bira dostavu may sound a little short in English, but in Serbian it can naturally mean something like:

• choose delivery
• choose the delivery option
• choose how something will be delivered

The exact nuance depends on the larger context.

Dok god means as long as.

It introduces a condition that remains true over a period of time:

• dok god je adresa ista = as long as the address is the same

Compared with plain dok, dok god makes the conditional meaning clearer and stronger. It is a very common way to say as long as in Serbian.

This is because je is a clitic in Serbian.

Clitics are short unstressed words that usually appear very early in the clause, often in the second position. In this subordinate clause, the conjunction phrase dok god comes first, and the clitic je follows it:

• dok god je adresa ista

If this were a simple independent sentence, you would normally say:

• Adresa je ista = The address is the same

So the word order changes because of normal Serbian clitic placement.

Ista is the feminine singular form of the adjective isti, which means same.

It agrees with adresa, and adresa is:

• feminine
• singular

So the adjective must also be feminine singular:

• ista adresa = the same address
• adresa je ista = the address is the same

Other forms would be:

• isti for masculine singular
• isto for neuter singular
• plural forms depending on gender

Serbian does not have articles like English a and the.

So adresa can mean:

• address
• the address

Context tells you which one is meant. In this sentence, it is naturally understood as the address, because the speaker and listener already know which address is being discussed.

If Serbian wants to make the reference more explicit, it can use words like:

• ta adresa = that address

But very often that is unnecessary.

Yes, more or less. Serbian often expresses to be + adjective very directly, without articles:

• adresa je ista = address is same = the address is the same

That is a normal Serbian predicate structure:

• subject: adresa
• verb: je
• predicate adjective: ista

So even though it may feel slightly bare compared with English, it is completely natural Serbian grammar.
