Questions & Answers about Zaposleni će zasnovati radni odnos.

What does zaposleni mean here, and why does it look like an adjective?

Here zaposleni means employee.

It looks adjective-like because it originally comes from a form meaning employed. In Serbian, words like this are often used as nouns when the person is understood.

So:

• zaposlen = employed
• zaposleni = employee / the employed person

This is especially common in formal and administrative language.

Is zaposleni singular or plural here?

In isolation, it can actually be either:

• zaposleni = the employee or an employee (masculine singular)
• zaposleni = employees (masculine plural)

This sentence is formally ambiguous, because:

• će is the same for he/she and they
• zasnovati is an infinitive, so it does not show number

So only the wider context tells you whether it is singular or plural. If the meaning shown to you is singular, then read it as the employee / an employee will...
