Questions & Answers about Tko ne voli voće?
Where exactly do I put the negation ne in a sentence?
To say "does not", you simply place ne directly before the verb. In this sentence, ne comes right before voli (likes) to make ne voli (does not like). Unlike English, you don't need a helper word like "do" or "does".
Why is the verb voli in the "he/she/it" form if we don't know who we are asking about?
The question word tko (who) is always treated as a third-person singular subject. This is exactly like English, where we say "Who likes fruit?" instead of "Who like fruit?", even if we expect the answer to be a group of people.
voće is the object being liked, so shouldn't its ending change?
It actually is in the accusative case because it is the direct object of the verb. However, voće is a neuter noun. In Croatian, neuter nouns look exactly the same in the accusative case as they do in their basic dictionary form.
How do I say "fruits" if I mean many different types? Is there a plural form of voće?
No, voće is a collective noun. It works like the English word "fruit" when used as a category, meaning it is grammatically singular but represents any amount of fruit. You always use voće whether you mean one piece or a whole bowl.
