Questions & Answers about Najamnina o kojoj stalno raspravljamo previše je skupa.
Why is it o kojoj instead of just koju or koja?
This is the relative clause meaning "about which". The verb raspravljati (to discuss/argue) takes the preposition o plus the locative case. Because najamnina (rent) is a feminine singular noun, the relative pronoun koji must take the feminine singular locative form, which is kojoj.
Why is the enclitic je all the way over there after previše? Doesn't it need to be in the second position?
It is in the second position of its own clause! The sentence is split: the main clause (Najamnina... previše je skupa) is interrupted by the relative clause (o kojoj stalno raspravljamo). When the main clause resumes, previše counts as the first word of that new block, so the enclitic je naturally takes the second spot right after it.
Is there a difference between raspravljamo and svađamo se for "we argue"?
Why does the sentence use skupa instead of skupo?
