bit ću
Future of Biti
Biti follows the same two orders as other verbs.
How It Works
| Person | Form |
|---|---|
| ja | bit ću |
| ti | bit ćeš |
| on, ona | bit će |
| mi | bit ćemo |
| vi | bit ćete |
| oni | bit će |
The verb biti is the one you will use most often in the future: Bit će lijepo. Bit ćemo na vrijeme.
The same sentence can start with another word, and then the order flips: Sutra ću biti u Sarajevu. Both are normal. Do not use budem alone for a plain future in careful writing; it belongs to the future II (kad budem stigao), which has its own lesson.
