Questions & Answers about Не надсилатиму претензію, якщо тільки служба підтримки не відмовиться замінити товар.
Why is there no word for I in Не надсилатиму претензію?
Ukrainian often leaves out subject pronouns when they are already clear from the verb ending.
Here, надсилатиму means I will be sending / I will send, so the I is built into the verb form. Because of that, я is unnecessary unless you want extra emphasis.
- Не надсилатиму претензію = I won’t send a complaint
- Я не надсилатиму претензію = I won’t send a complaint, with extra emphasis on I
What does надсилатиму mean exactly, and what tense is it?
Надсилатиму is the 1st person singular future form of the imperfective verb надсилати (to send).
So:
- надсилати = to send, to be sending
- надсилатиму = I will send / I will be sending
This is the simple future of an imperfective verb. In Ukrainian, imperfective verbs can form future in two ways, but this form is very common:
- я надсилатиму
- also possible: я буду надсилати
Both mean roughly I will be sending / I will send, though the imperfective often gives a more process-oriented or less one-time-completion feel than a perfective verb would.
Why is it Не надсилатиму, not Не надішлю?
