Questions & Answers about Vidite li krv blizu žrtve?
How does the question structure "Vidite li" work here?
To ask a yes/no question in Croatian, you can put the verb first, followed by the question word li. Here, we use vidite (you see), so Vidite li...? means "Do you see...?". This is a very common way to ask questions without needing to start with "da li".
Why is the word for blood (krv) not in the accusative case, since it is the direct object?
It actually is in the accusative case! The word krv is a special type of feminine noun that ends in a consonant instead of the usual -a. For these nouns, the nominative (dictionary form) and the accusative (direct object form) are exactly the same.
Why does the word for victim (žrtva) end in -e in this sentence (žrtve)?
The preposition blizu (near) requires the following noun to be in the genitive case. Because žrtva is a regular feminine noun ending in -a, its genitive ending changes to -e.
Is vidite addressing one person or multiple people here?
It could be either. Vidite is the verb form for vi, which is used both for speaking to multiple people (plural "you") and for speaking respectfully to one person (formal "you", which a police officer or doctor might use with a witness).
