Questions & Answers about Tko god želi ići, može doći.
Does tko god change depending on the case, like other pronouns?
Yes! The tko part declines just like the regular question word tko (who), while god stays exactly the same as a separate word. Since "whoever" is the subject of the sentence here, it stays in the nominative case: tko god. If you needed to say "to whoever," it would become dative: kome god.
Why are the verbs želi and može in the 3rd person singular, even if we might be talking about a large group of people?
In Croatian, pronouns based on tko—including tko god (whoever), netko (someone), and nitko (no one)—always take 3rd person singular verbs. Grammatically, tko god acts just like "he" or "she" (on or ona), regardless of how many people actually end up going.
Is there a difference between writing tko god as two words versus one word (tkogod)?
Yes, it is a very important distinction! Written as two words (tko god), it means "whoever" or "no matter who," as seen in this sentence. If you write it as a single word (tkogod), it changes meaning entirely to become a synonym for netko (someone/anyone). For this lesson's grammar structure, always use two words.
Why is there a comma before može? We usually wouldn't use one in the English translation.
