Questions & Answers about Astrologija tumači zvijezde, kao što već znate.
Why do we use kao što here instead of just kao?
We use kao što because it introduces a full clause with its own verb (znate). It refers back to a fact or statement, translating to 'as' in phrases like 'as you know' or 'as I said'. If you were just comparing nouns without a new verb, like 'shines like a star', you would use only kao.
What case is zvijezde here?
It is in the accusative case because it is the direct object of the verb tumači (interprets). For feminine nouns ending in -a like zvijezda, the plural accusative ends in -e, which happens to look exactly like the plural nominative.
Does the verb tumačiti mean to translate or to interpret?
It means to interpret or explain the meaning of something, like stars, dreams, or laws. It is also the specific word used for spoken language interpretation, whereas written translation is usually prevoditi.
Why does već come before the verb instead of at the end of the sentence?
Adverbs like već (already) usually sit directly before the verb they modify in dependent clauses. While kao što znate već would be understood, kao što već znate is the standard, natural word order.
