Questions & Answers about Bez potvrde ne mogu da primim paket danas.

Why is it bez potvrde and not bez potvrda?

Because bez always takes the genitive case in Serbian.

• potvrda = nominative singular, the basic dictionary form
• potvrde = genitive singular

So:

• bez potvrde = without a confirmation / without the document

This is a very common pattern:

• bez vode = without water
• bez novca = without money
• bez pasoša = without a passport

So if you see bez, you should usually expect the next noun to be in the genitive.

What exactly does potvrda mean here?

Potvrda can mean several related things depending on context:

• confirmation
• certificate
• receipt
• proof
• document showing approval or verification

In this sentence, it most likely means some required document or proof needed to receive the package, such as:

• a pickup confirmation
• a delivery slip
• an authorization document
• proof of identity/approval, depending on the situation

So even if the English translation gives one meaning, learners should know that potvrda is a flexible word in Serbian.
