Questions & Answers about Je li vaša supruga danas doma?
Why does the sentence use vaša instead of vaš?
Possessives in Croatian must match the gender of the noun they describe. Because supruga (wife) is a feminine noun, the possessive must take the feminine singular form vaša.
Does vaša here mean plural "your" or formal "your"?
In this context, it almost certainly means the formal "your", used when addressing one person respectfully. While vaša is also used for the plural "your" (addressing multiple people), it would be very unusual to ask a group of people about their shared wife!
Why does the sentence start with Je li?
Je li is the standard way to form a yes/no question in Croatian. Je is the verb meaning "is", and li is a small question particle that doesn't translate directly into English, but simply signals that a question is being asked.
What is the difference between doma and kuća?
Kuća is the actual noun for a physical "house", while doma is an adverb meaning "at home". When you want to express the location or state of someone being at home, you always use doma.
