Questions & Answers about Ovi prozori su drugi.
Doesn't drugi mean "second"? Why does it mean "different ones" here?
Yes, drugi is the ordinal number "second". However, it is also very commonly used as an adjective meaning "other", "another", or "different". Here, it means "the other ones" or "different ones".
Why do we use ovi for "these"?
Ovi is the masculine plural form of ovaj (this). We use it here because the noun it points to, prozori (windows), is masculine plural.
Is drugi both singular and plural?
It happens to look exactly the same! The masculine singular form is drugi, and the ending for masculine plural adjectives is also -i. So drugi acts as the masculine plural form here to match prozori.
How do we form the plural of prozor?
The singular word for window is prozor. Because it is a masculine noun ending in a consonant, we simply add -i to the end to make it plural, resulting in prozori.
