Questions & Answers about Njihovo zalaganje uvijek ima dobar rezultat.
How could we express the meaning of this sentence using the koliko ..., toliko ... structure from this lesson?
To show the proportional relationship taught in this lesson, you could rephrase the sentence using the verb zalagati se (to commit/strive): Koliko se zalažu, toliko dobar rezultat imaju. (As much as they make an effort, that good of a result they have.)
Zalaganje translates to "commitment". What is the root of this noun?
It is a verbal noun derived from the reflexive verb zalagati se (to strive, or to make an effort). Verbal nouns in Croatian typically end in -nje and function as neuter nouns, which is why it pairs with the neuter possessive pronoun njihovo.
In the phrase ima dobar rezultat, what case is dobar rezultat in?
It is in the accusative case, which is the direct object case required by the verb imati (to have). Because rezultat is an inanimate masculine noun, both the noun and its modifying adjective (dobar) look exactly identical to their dictionary (nominative) forms.
Could we use trud instead of zalaganje here?
Yes, trud (effort) is a very natural synonym in this context. If you swap it in, you would say Njihov trud uvijek ima dobar rezultat, making sure to change the possessive pronoun to the masculine njihov to match the gender of trud.
