Questions & Answers about Najam opreme je ovdje vrlo skup.
Why is the word for equipment in the form opreme?
It is in the genitive case, literally translating to 'rental of equipment.' Since the nominative form is the feminine noun oprema, its genitive singular ending is -e.
Since oprema is a feminine noun, why does the adjective skup not end in -a?
The adjective skup (expensive) modifies the main subject of the sentence, which is najam (rental), not the equipment itself. Because najam is a masculine noun, the adjective takes the masculine nominative form.
Could the verb je be placed right after Najam?
Yes, you might occasionally hear 'Najam je opreme...', but keeping the noun phrase Najam opreme (equipment rental) together before the enclitic je is much more natural and standard. The entire noun phrase acts as the first position in the sentence.
Could I use stanarina here instead of najam?
No, stanarina specifically refers to rent paid for an apartment or housing (from the word stan). Najam is the correct, versatile word used for renting objects, vehicles, and equipment.
