Questions & Answers about Prijenos uživo ide putem interneta.
Why is interneta in the Genitive case after putem?
The word putem translates to 'via' or 'through'. Although it originally comes from the instrumental case of the noun put (way/path), it acts as a secondary preposition here. Like most secondary prepositions, it requires the noun that follows it to be in the Genitive case, resulting in interneta.
Could I just use the preposition preko instead of putem here?
Yes, preko interneta (over the internet) is perfectly fine and very common. However, putem is slightly more formal and is the preferred choice when emphasizing the specific medium, channel, or system used for a transmission, transaction, or communication.
Why doesn't the word uživo change its ending to match the noun prijenos?
Uživo (live) is an adverb, so it is invariable—it never changes its form. In Croatian, it is perfectly normal to place it directly after a noun to act as a fixed modifier. Prijenos uživo is the standard everyday way to say 'live broadcast'.
Is the verb ići (to go) typically used for broadcasts like this?
Yes! While in English we might say a broadcast 'is airing' or 'is happening', using ide (goes) is extremely natural in conversational Croatian. You will often hear native speakers use ići for TV shows, songs, or internet streams that are currently playing.
