Questions & Answers about Slike su zanimljive.
Why does the word for picture, slika, end in -e here?
The word slika is a regular feminine noun because it ends in -a. To make regular feminine nouns plural, you change that -a to an -e. So, slika (picture) becomes slike (pictures).
Why does the adjective zanimljive also end in -e?
In Croatian, adjectives have to match the noun they describe. Because slike is a feminine plural noun, the adjective takes the feminine plural ending, which is also -e.
Where is the word for 'the' in this sentence?
Croatian does not have articles like 'the' or 'a'. The word slike translates to both 'pictures' and 'the pictures'. You figure out which one makes sense from the context.
Why is the verb su used here?
Su is the 'they' form of the verb to be (are). Because slike is plural, we treat it as 'they' and use su to say 'the pictures are'.
