Questions & Answers about Evo dozvole s kojom možemo raditi.
Why is the word for permit in the genitive case (dozvole) instead of the nominative (dozvola)?
The presentational particles evo, eto, and eno require the noun that follows them to be in the genitive case. Since dozvola is a feminine noun ending in -a, its genitive form is dozvole.
Why do we use evo here instead of eto or eno?
Evo is used to point out something that is right here, close to the speaker, like holding a document in your hand. If the permit were closer to the person you are speaking to, you would use eto. If it were further away from both of you, you would use eno.
Why is the relative pronoun kojom used after the preposition s?
Kojom is the instrumental case of the relative pronoun. We use the feminine form because it refers back to the feminine noun dozvola. It must be in the instrumental case because the preposition s (with) requires the instrumental here, giving us s kojom (with which).
In English we end the sentence with 'with', but here it is in the middle. Can we put the preposition at the end in Croatian?
No, unlike in informal English, you can never end a sentence with a preposition in Croatian. Prepositions must always come immediately before the noun or pronoun they apply to. That is why it must be structured as s kojom (with which) right after the noun it modifies.
