Korisnik će pozajmiti primerak.

će is the clitic form of the verb hteti (to want), and in modern Serbian it is used to form the future tense.

So:

• korisnik = user
• će pozajmiti = will borrow

A very common way to form the future is:

• ću, ćeš, će, ćemo, ćete, će + infinitive

Examples:

• Ja ću doći = I will come
• Ona će čitati = She will read
• Korisnik će pozajmiti primerak = The user will borrow a copy

So in this sentence, će pozajmiti is simply will borrow.

In Serbian, the future is often built analytically, meaning with two parts:

1. the auxiliary/clitic će
2. the main verb in the infinitive: pozajmiti

So instead of one single future verb ending, Serbian commonly uses this structure:

• će + infinitive

There is also another very common future construction in speech:

• će da + present tense

For example:

• Korisnik će pozajmiti primerak
• Korisnik će da pozajmi primerak

Both can mean the same thing: The user will borrow a copy.

This is because će is a clitic, and clitics in Serbian usually appear in the second position of the clause.

That is why you get:

• Korisnik će pozajmiti primerak

and not normally:

• Će korisnik pozajmiti primerak

The first stressed word or phrase comes first, and the clitic follows it.

You can see the same pattern in:

• Marija će doći
• Student će čitati
• Oni će kupiti knjigu

So će is not randomly placed there; it follows an important Serbian word-order rule.

Primerak is in the accusative singular, because it is the direct object of pozajmiti.

However, primerak is a masculine inanimate noun, and for masculine inanimate nouns, the accusative singular is the same as the nominative singular.

So:

• nominative: primerak
• accusative: primerak

That is why the form does not visibly change.

Compare:

• Vidim primerak = I see a copy
• Korisnik će pozajmiti primerak = The user will borrow a copy

But with a masculine animate noun, the accusative would usually change:

• korisnik → korisnika in the accusative

Primerak most often means copy, specimen, or sample, depending on context.

In a library or archive context, it usually means:

• copy
• physical copy of a book, magazine, or document

So in this sentence, primerak is most naturally understood as a copy.

Depending on context, it can also mean:

• sample
• specimen

But if the sentence is about borrowing, copy is the most likely meaning.

That is a very good question, because verbs of borrowing/lending can be tricky in Serbian.

Pozajmiti can sometimes be used in ways that correspond to either borrow or lend, depending on context. In many modern contexts, people understand it through the surrounding words.

In this sentence:

• Korisnik će pozajmiti primerak

the natural interpretation is The user will borrow a copy, especially if korisnik is a library user, customer, or account holder.

If you want to make the source explicit, Serbian can use:

• pozajmiti od nekoga = borrow from someone

Example:

• Korisnik će pozajmiti primerak od biblioteke = The user will borrow a copy from the library

A related verb you may also see is posuditi, which is also very common in this area of meaning.

Pozajmiti is a perfective verb. That means it presents the action as a single completed event.

In this sentence, that makes sense because the speaker is talking about one future act:

• the user will borrow a copy

Perfective verbs are very common in the future when you mean:

• one completed action
• a definite event
• a result-oriented action

The imperfective partner is typically pozajmljivati, which suggests repeated, ongoing, or habitual action.

Compare:

• Korisnik će pozajmiti primerak.
  = The user will borrow a copy.
  one completed act

• Korisnik će pozajmljivati primerke.
  = The user will be borrowing copies / will borrow copies repeatedly.
  repeated or ongoing activity

Serbian does not have articles like a/an and the.

So primerak can mean:

• a copy
• the copy

The exact meaning depends on context.

In an isolated sentence like:

• Korisnik će pozajmiti primerak

English would most naturally say a copy, because nothing has been mentioned before.

If the copy were already known from context, English might translate it as:

• The user will borrow the copy

Serbian usually leaves that distinction to context rather than marking it with an article.

Yes. That is a very common alternative future construction in Serbian.

So both are possible:

• Korisnik će pozajmiti primerak
• Korisnik će da pozajmi primerak

Both mean essentially the same thing.

A rough difference:

• će + infinitive can sound a bit more neutral or formal in many contexts
• će da + present is very common in everyday speech

Both are completely useful to learn.

You negate it with neće:

• Korisnik neće pozajmiti primerak.

That means:

• The user will not borrow a copy.

So:

• će = will
• neće = will not

Examples:

• On će doći. = He will come.
• On neće doći. = He will not come.

A natural yes/no question would be:

• Da li će korisnik pozajmiti primerak?

This means:

• Will the user borrow a copy?

Another possible word order is:

• Hoće li korisnik pozajmiti primerak?

Both are correct.

So you can think of:

• Da li + future clause or
• Hoće li + subject + infinitive

as common ways to ask this kind of question.

A practical pronunciation guide is:

• po-zai-mi-ti

A few notes:

• j in Serbian sounds like English y in yes
• each vowel is usually pronounced clearly
• ti is pronounced roughly like tee

So pozajmiti is approximately:

• po-zahy-mee-tee

Not an exact English equivalent, but close enough for a learner.

Also, Serbian spelling is very phonetic, so once you know the sounds of the letters, pronunciation becomes much more predictable than in English.

Grammatically, korisnik is a masculine noun.

It often functions like a general term meaning:

• user
• customer
• account holder
• client, depending on context

If you specifically want a feminine form, Serbian also has:

• korisnica = female user

So you could say:

• Korisnica će pozajmiti primerak.

But in many administrative, technical, or general contexts, the masculine form korisnik may be used in a generic sense.

It is grammatically correct and quite natural, especially in formal or system-related contexts, such as:

• library rules
• software interfaces
• user instructions
• official notices

For example, it sounds plausible in a context like:

• a library management system
• borrowing policies
• a user action description

In everyday casual speech, a speaker might choose different wording depending on the situation, but the sentence itself is absolutely normal Serbian.
