Questions & Answers about Kupoprodaja će početi posle dogovora.
What does kupoprodaja mean, and is it a common everyday word?
Kupoprodaja literally means purchase and sale or sale transaction. It is a formal/legal/business-style noun, not the most casual everyday word.
In normal speech, people might more often say something simpler depending on context, such as:
- prodaja = sale
- kupovina = purchase/buying
- prodaja i kupovina = sale and purchase
So kupoprodaja is correct, but it sounds more official, like something you might see in a contract, legal text, or business context.
How is the future tense formed in će početi?
This is the future tense in Serbian.
The pattern here is:
će + infinitive
So:
- će = will
- početi = to begin
Together:
- će početi = will begin
A full set with će looks like this:
- ja ću početi = I will begin
- ti ćeš početi = you will begin
- on/ona/ono će početi = he/she/it will begin
- mi ćemo početi = we will begin
- vi ćete početi = you(pl)/formal will begin
- oni/one/ona će početi = they will begin
In your sentence, the subject is kupoprodaja, which is singular, so će is the correct form.
