Questions & Answers about S kim radiš na novom projektu?
Why is it kim instead of tko here?
kim is the instrumental case of the pronoun tko (who). Because you are doing an action together with someone, the preposition s (with) requires the instrumental case.
When do I use s versus sa?
The basic preposition is s. You only add the extra 'a' to make it sa if the following word begins with a consonant like s, š, z, ž, or certain tricky consonant clusters. Since kim starts with a 'k', plain s is perfectly easy to pronounce.
Why is na novom projektu in the locative case? Doesn't na sometimes take the accusative?
Yes, na takes the accusative when showing motion or direction towards a destination. However, when indicating where an action is currently happening or what you are currently focused on, it takes the locative case. Since you are already working on the project, it is locative.
Why do the adjective and noun have different endings in novom projektu?
Even though both are masculine words in the locative case, adjectives and nouns follow different declension patterns. The masculine noun projekt takes the regular noun ending -u, while the adjective novi takes the masculine adjective ending -om.
