Questions & Answers about Serviser rado pomaže korisniku.

What does rado mean here?

Rado is an adverb meaning gladly, willingly, or with pleasure.

So Serviser rado pomaže korisniku means the technician helps the user/customer willingly or is happy to help.

A useful point for English speakers: Serbian rado + verb often overlaps with English like(s) to + verb.

For example:

• Rado čitam. = I like reading / I gladly read.
• On rado pomaže. = He likes to help / He gladly helps.

So rado is not just about the manner of one action; it can also suggest a general positive attitude toward doing it.

Why is it korisniku and not korisnik?

Because the verb pomagati / pomoći takes the dative case for the person receiving help.

• korisnik = dictionary form, nominative singular
• korisniku = dative singular

So:

• Serviser pomaže korisniku. = The technician helps the user/customer.

This is different from English, where we do not change the noun form after help.

Does pomaže always go with the dative?
