Questions & Answers about Direktor je sit loših evaluacija.

Why is loših evaluacija in the Genitive case without any preposition like s (with)?

The adjective sit belongs to a special group of adjectives expressing psychological states or fullness that directly require a Genitive object. In Croatian, you aren't fed up with something; you are full of it. Therefore, no preposition is used, just the Genitive case.

Can the adjective sit also be used when you are physically full after eating?

Yes, it is the standard word for being full after a meal. When paired with a Genitive object like in this sentence, it takes on the metaphorical meaning of having had too much of something, or being entirely fed up.

Evaluacija is Genitive plural here, but it is spelled exactly the same as the Nominative singular. How can I tell it's plural?

For many feminine nouns ending in -a, the Genitive plural ending is a long -a, which makes the written form look identical to the Nominative singular. In these cases, you have to rely on the surrounding context. Here, the Genitive plural adjective loših gives it away immediately.

What if the director were female? How would the sentence change?

You would use the feminine noun direktorica. Because the subject is now feminine, the adjective sit must agree with it, becoming sita. The sentence would be: Direktorica je sita loših evaluacija.
