Questions & Answers about S obzirom na pljusak, premjestit ćemo prijem u šator.
What case does the phrase s obzirom na trigger for the word pljusak?
The preposition na in the fixed phrase s obzirom na (considering / with regard to) always requires the accusative case. Since pljusak (downpour) is a masculine inanimate noun, its accusative form looks exactly like its nominative form.
What does the word obzirom mean on its own in this phrase?
It is the instrumental case of the noun obzir, which means regard, consideration, or respect. Literally, s obzirom na translates to "with consideration onto". You will also recognize the root from the opposite phrase, bez obzira na (regardless of).
Why do we use the accusative case u šator instead of the locative case u šatoru?
We use u plus the accusative case (u šator) to show motion towards a destination, which fits the verb premjestiti (to move). If you used the locative u šatoru, it would imply the entire action of moving things around is happening while you are already inside the tent.
Why is the final 'i' missing from the infinitive in premjestit ćemo?
When forming the future tense, if an infinitive ending in -ti comes directly before the auxiliary verb (ću, ćeš, će, etc.), you must drop the final i. If the word order were reversed, the verb would keep the 'i' and be written fully: mi ćemo premjestiti.
