Questions & Answers about Nazdravimo našem trudu i uspjehu!
How does nazdravimo translate to "let's toast"?
It is the first-person plural imperative form of the verb nazdraviti (to toast). To suggest doing something together like "let's...", you use this imperative form. For this verb, we drop the infinitive ending and add -imo to get nazdravimo.
Why do the words trudu and uspjehu end in -u?
They are in the dative case. The verb nazdraviti requires the dative because you are directing your toast to or toward something. Both trud (effort) and uspjeh (success) are masculine nouns, and masculine nouns take the -u ending in the dative singular.
Why is the word for "our" written as našem?
Našem is the dative singular form of naš (our) for masculine and neuter nouns. Because it describes trudu and uspjehu, it must match them in gender (masculine), number (singular), and case (dative).
