Questions & Answers about Noćenje i doručak su uključeni u cijenu.
Why is uključeni in the masculine plural form when noćenje is neuter?
When a compound subject has mixed genders (here, the neuter noćenje and the masculine doručak), Croatian defaults to the masculine plural for adjectives and participles. Since there are multiple subjects, the plural is needed, and the masculine noun dictates the gender.
The translation says 'in the price', so why is it u cijenu (accusative) instead of u cijeni (locative)?
The verb uključiti (to include) takes the preposition u with the accusative case, not the locative. Even though it translates as 'in' rather than 'into' in English, Croatian treats the action of including as putting something into a group or price, which grammatically implies direction.
Why does the word su come right after doručak?
The word su is an enclitic, meaning it is a 'weak' word that must take the second position in a sentence or clause. In this sentence, the entire phrase Noćenje i doručak acts as a single block occupying the first grammatical position, so su immediately follows it.
Is the word noćenje formed from the word for night?
Yes. It is a noun derived from the verb noćiti (to spend the night), which comes from noć (night). It translates literally to the act of spending the night, making it the standard Croatian term for an overnight stay.
