Questions & Answers about Prozor je tamo.
How do I know what gender prozor is just by looking at it?
Look at the last letter! Prozor ends in a consonant (the letter r). In Croatian, almost all nouns that end in a consonant are masculine. Figuring out gender by the ending is a very helpful rule to remember.
Why is prozor in the nominative case here?
The nominative case is used for the subject of a sentence, which is the person or thing doing the action or being described. Here, the window is the subject because it is the thing that is there. The nominative is also the basic dictionary form of a noun.
There is no word for 'the' before prozor. Does Croatian skip this word?
Yes, Croatian does not have articles like 'a', 'an', or 'the'. The word prozor can mean 'window', 'a window', or 'the window'. You just figure out which one makes sense from the rest of the conversation.
Can I change the word order and say Tamo je prozor?
Yes, you can! Tamo je prozor is perfectly correct and means the same thing. The word je (is) is a short, unstressed word that strongly prefers to be the second word in the sentence, which it still is in both versions.
