Questions & Answers about Ova nekretnina ima odličan potencijal, s obzirom na to da je kvadratura velika.
Do I always have to use the full phrase s obzirom na to da, or can I shorten it?
In standard, grammatically correct Croatian, you must use the full phrase s obzirom na to da. However, in everyday spoken Croatian, you will very often hear people shorten it to just s obzirom da. Since you are at a B2 level, you should aim to write the full form, but definitely be prepared to hear the shortened version in conversation.
Why does the phrase include na to? What case is to in?
The noun obzir means "regard" or "consideration". It pairs with the preposition na (to/on), which requires the accusative case here. So, na to literally translates as "to that" (with to being the accusative of taj). The da then introduces the actual clause, making the whole structure literally mean: "with regard to the fact that..."
