Questions & Answers about Vreme je danas toplo.

Why is je used in this sentence?

Je is the 3rd person singular present tense of biti (to be).

• je = is
• danas = today
• toplo = warm

Serbian often uses biti just like English uses to be in sentences such as The weather is warm.

Why is toplo ending in -o?

Because toplo agrees with vreme, and vreme is neuter singular.

In Serbian, adjectives must agree with the noun in gender, number, and usually case.

Here:

• vreme is neuter singular
• so the adjective is also neuter singular: toplo

Compare:

• dan je topao = the day is warm/mild
• noć je topla = the night is warm
• vreme je toplo = the weather is warm

So the ending -o shows neuter singular agreement.
