Feminine nouns that end in a consonant (such as glad, mladost, or opasnost) share a simple pattern: in the singular, the genitive, dative, and locative cases all take the exact same suffix: -i.
The Genitive Case
The genitive case expresses absence (with nema), follows prepositions like od (from/of), bez (without), and blizu (near), and is used with certain reflexive verbs like bojati se (to be afraid of).
| There is no hunger in this country. | U ovoj zemlji nema gladi. |
| Is he afraid of old age? | Boji li se on starosti? |
| This information is without value. | Ova informacija je bez vrijednosti. |
The Locative Case
The locative case follows prepositions like u (in) and o (about) to describe locations, periods of time, or topics of discussion.
| In youth we were very happy. | U mladosti smo bili jako sretni. |
| He talks about the value of love. | On priča o vrijednosti ljubavi. |
The Dative Case
The dative case indicates the receiver of an action. It is also required by specific verbs like vjerovati (to trust), diviti se (to admire), and izlagati se (to expose oneself to).
| We admire her bravery. | Divimo se njezinoj hrabrosti. |
| We do not trust the government. | Ne vjerujemo vlasti. |
| If you go there, you are exposing yourself to danger. | Ako ideš tamo, izlažeš se opasnosti. |
