Questions & Answers about S obzirom na vremensku prognozu, neizvjesnost je naš najveći problem.
Why is vremensku prognozu in the accusative case here?
The complex preposition s obzirom na (considering / with regard to) always triggers the accusative case for the noun phrase that follows it. Here, the nominative vremenska prognoza changes to the accusative vremensku prognozu.
Is it possible to drop the na and just say s obzirom vremensku prognozu?
No, the na is a mandatory part of this fixed phrase. Without it, the structure is grammatically incomplete. It functions similarly to the English phrase "with regard to" — you cannot drop the "to".
Neizvjesnost ends in a consonant. Does that make it a masculine noun like problem?
No, neizvjesnost (uncertainty) is a feminine noun. In Croatian, abstract nouns ending in the suffix -ost are almost always feminine. Since it is the subject of the sentence, it is in the nominative case here.
Why doesn't the enclitic verb je go immediately after the comma?
Enclitics (unstressed words like je) cannot be placed immediately after a pause, such as a comma. They must take the second position within their specific clause. Here, the main clause starts with neizvjesnost, so je naturally follows it as the second word.
How is the adjective najveći formed?
It is the superlative form of velik (big). The comparative form is irregular: veći (bigger). To form the superlative of any adjective in Croatian, you simply attach the prefix naj- to the comparative, resulting in najveći (biggest).
