Questions & Answers about Bibliotekar će potvrditi razduženje.
How is the future tense formed in Bibliotekar će potvrditi razduženje?
This is the future I tense in Serbian.
It is built with:
- the clitic form of hteti (ću, ćeš, će, ćemo, ćete, će)
- plus the infinitive of the main verb
So here:
- će = will
- potvrditi = infinitive to confirm
Together, će potvrditi = will confirm.
With bibliotekar:
- Bibliotekar će potvrditi = The librarian will confirm
Why is će placed after bibliotekar instead of before it?
Because će is a clitic in Serbian. Clitics usually go in the second position of the sentence or clause.
So Serbian naturally puts it like this:
- Bibliotekar će potvrditi razduženje.
Not usually:
- Će bibliotekar potvrditi razduženje. ← unnatural in normal declarative speech
This “second-position” rule is very important in Serbian word order.
Why is the verb potvrditi in the infinitive, not a fully conjugated form?
