Questions & Answers about Vi ćete posle večere razgovarati sa majkom.

Why is Vi capitalized, and what does it mean here?

Vi means you in the plural, but it is also used as the formal singular form, like you in polite English but marked more clearly.

When it is capitalized as Vi, that often shows extra politeness in writing when speaking to one person formally. In ordinary sentences, you may also see lowercase vi.

So in this sentence, Vi most likely means:

• you (speaking politely to one person), or
• you all / you plural, depending on context

The capitalization strongly suggests the formal singular reading.

How is the future tense formed in Vi ćete razgovarati?

This is the future I tense in Serbian.

It is formed with:

• the present tense of hteti (to want, but used as a future auxiliary)
• plus the infinitive of the main verb

Here:

• ćete = future auxiliary for you (plural/formal)
• razgovarati = to talk / to have a conversation

So:

• ja ću razgovarati = I will talk
• ti ćeš razgovarati = you will talk
• Vi ćete razgovarati = you will talk

This is very similar to English will + verb.
