Questions & Answers about Moram uskladiti obje naušnice.
Why do we use obje here instead of oba?
The noun naušnica (earring) is feminine. You must use oba for masculine and neuter nouns, but obje is the correct form for feminine nouns.
What case is obje naušnice in?
It is in the accusative case because it is the direct object of the verb uskladiti (to coordinate). The feminine quantifier for both in the accusative is obje, and it requires the noun to be in a special paucal form that looks identical to the nominative plural naušnice.
Is uskladiti perfective or imperfective?
It is a perfective verb, meaning it focuses on the completed action of successfully matching the earrings. If you were talking about the ongoing process of trying to coordinate them, you would use its imperfective pair, usklađivati.
Why does the sentence use the infinitive uskladiti instead of a conjugated form?
It directly follows the modal verb moram (I must). When you use morati to express an obligation, the main action verb that follows it remains in the infinitive.
