Questions & Answers about Iseliću se sledećeg meseca.
Why is ću attached to the verb in iseliću instead of standing separately?
In Serbian, the future tense can be formed with hteti (ću, ćeš, će...) plus the infinitive.
With many verbs, if the infinitive comes before ću, ćeš, će, etc., the auxiliary attaches to it and the final -i of the infinitive drops:
- iseliti + ću → iseliću
- uraditi + ću → uradiću
- videti + ću → videću
So Iseliću se means the same as Ja ću se iseliti, just in a more compact form.
Both patterns are normal:
- Iseliću se sledećeg meseca.
- Ja ću se iseliti sledećeg meseca.
The first one is often more neutral and natural in everyday use.
What exactly is the base form of iseliću?
The base form is the infinitive iseliti se.
So the sentence is built from:
- iseliti se = to move out / to emigrate
- ću = I will
When combined:
- iseliti + ću → iseliću
- plus se stays separate
That gives:
- Iseliću se = I will move out / I will emigrate
Why is there? Does it mean ?
