Questions & Answers about Frižider je prazan i danas moram da kupim mleko i jaja.
Why is je in Frižider je prazan?
Je is the 3rd person singular present tense of biti (to be).
So:
- Frižider = refrigerator / fridge
- je = is
- prazan = empty
Together, Frižider je prazan means The fridge is empty.
In Serbian, just like in English, you normally need the verb to be in this kind of sentence.
Why is it prazan and not prazna or prazno?
Because frižider is a masculine singular noun, and adjectives must agree with the noun they describe.
So:
- masculine singular: prazan
- feminine singular: prazna
- neuter singular: prazno
Examples:
- frižider je prazan = the fridge is empty
- soba je prazna = the room is empty
- mesto je prazno = the place is empty
This agreement is a very important feature of Serbian grammar.
Why is there no word for the or a in the sentence?
