Questions & Answers about Kupujemo svaku zbirku.
Why is it svaku instead of the dictionary form svaki?
Why does the noun zbirka change to zbirku?
In this sentence, the collection is the direct object (the thing being bought). This means it must be in the accusative case. For feminine nouns ending in -a like zbirka, the accusative ending is -u.
Is kupujemo from the verb kupiti?
It is actually from kupovati, which is the imperfective version of the verb to buy. Imperfective verbs are used for ongoing or repeated actions, which makes sense here because buying every collection implies a repeated habit. Kupiti is the perfective version, used for a completed, one-time purchase.
Does svaku mean every or each?
It can mean both! Croatian uses the same word, svaki, for both every and each. You can translate this sentence as We buy every collection or We buy each collection depending on what fits the context best in English.
