Questions & Answers about Gdje je prozor?
How can I tell what gender prozor is?
In Croatian, you can usually guess a regular noun's gender by its last letter in the nominative case. Since prozor ends in a consonant (the letter r), it is a masculine noun.
Why is prozor in the nominative case here?
The nominative case is the base 'dictionary form' of a word and is used for the main subject of a sentence. In this sentence, prozor is the subject because it is the thing we are asking about.
Where is the word for 'the' in this sentence?
Croatian does not have definite articles like 'the' or indefinite articles like 'a' or 'an'. The single word prozor can mean 'a window' or 'the window' depending entirely on the context of the conversation.
Why does the verb je come before the subject prozor?
The word je is a special type of short, unstressed word called an enclitic. These words strictly prefer the second position in a sentence. Since the question word Gdje takes the first spot, je naturally slides into the second spot, placing the subject at the end.
