Questions & Answers about Uz ovo krstarenje dobit ćete večeru.
Why does uz mean "along with" here instead of its physical meaning of "next to"?
The preposition uz followed by the accusative case often means "next to" or "along" in a physical sense. However, it is also commonly used to mean "in addition to" or "along with" when adding one thing to another, as seen here with uz ovo krstarenje (along with this cruise).
What case is ovo krstarenje, and why doesn't it change its ending?
It is in the accusative case because it follows the preposition uz. Krstarenje is a neuter noun. For neuter nouns and their matching adjectives or pronouns like ovo, the accusative form is exactly the same as the nominative (dictionary) form.
Why is the verb written as dobit ćete instead of dobiti ćete?
When forming the future tense, if the auxiliary verb (ćete) comes right after an infinitive that ends in -ti (like dobiti), you drop the final -i. So, dobiti becomes dobit. If the word order were reversed, the -i would stay: vi ćete dobiti.
Why does večeru end in -u?
