Questions & Answers about Kuća je tamo.
How can I tell what gender kuća is?
Look at the ending! Nouns that end in -a in their base form are almost always feminine in Croatian. Since kuća ends in -a, it is a feminine noun.
Why is kuća in the nominative case?
The nominative case is the dictionary form of a noun and is used for the subject of a sentence. The subject is the main person or thing being described. Here, the house is the subject because it is the thing that 'is there'.
Where is the word for 'the' in this sentence?
Croatian does not have articles like 'a', 'an', or 'the'. The word kuća alone just means 'house', but we naturally translate it to 'the house' in English because it makes the most sense in this sentence.
I see a special mark on the ć in kuća. How do I pronounce it?
The letter ć makes a soft 'ch' sound. It is pronounced very similarly to the 't' in the English word 'future' or the 'ch' in 'choose'.
