Summary/Abstract: This paper discusses subject-predicate agreement types in Serbian in which predicate agrees with subject in the form of partitive numeral phrase (PNP) semantically in number but not in gender. Two types are presented: a) noun within PNP is neuter, whereas participle is masculine (Пет писама су послати); b) noun is masculine, but participle takes a form ambiguous between neuter plural and paucal (Пет посланика су гласала).
