Questions & Answers about Onda ću doći.

What does ću mean in this sentence?

Ću is the 1st person singular future auxiliary, from the verb hteti (to want), but here it functions like will in English.

So:

• ću = I will
• doći = come / arrive

Together, ću doći means I will come.

Why isn’t ja used? Where is I?

In Serbian, the subject pronoun is often left out because the verb already shows the person.

Here, ću already tells you the subject is I.

So:

• Ja ću doći. = I will come.
• Ću doći. would sound incomplete on its own
• Onda ću doći. is fine because ću already marks I

You can add ja for emphasis:

• Ja ću doći. = I will come.
